mRNA Sequencing to Identify Aberrant Splicing in X-linked Alport Syndrome [PDF]
Introduction: X-linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) is a well-known monogenetic kidney disease caused by pathogenic variants in the COL4A5 gene. Routine analysis of exons and direct flanking regions fails to identify a pathogenic variant in 10% to 20% of ...

Analyzing the performance of deep learning splice prediction algorithms. [PDF]
SpliceAI is the leading tool for predicting splice-altering variants, but restrictive licensing limits clinical adoption. While open-source implementations have been published with author-reported comparisons, independent benchmarking across diverse ...

Case Report: Deep intronic PHEX variant causing aberrant splicing identified by whole genome and targeted RNA sequencing in X-linked hypophosphatemia [PDF]
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare, genetically determined disorder of phosphate metabolism, most commonly caused by mutations in the PHEX gene. These mutations lead to overexpression of the phosphaturic hormone FGF23, resulting in renal phosphate

An example for potentially underrated causes of recessive disease in the Greater Middle East: integrative long-read genome and transcriptome sequencing pinpoint a deep-intronic homozygous HEXB candidate founder variant in GM2-gangliosidosis [PDF]
Background Consanguinity provides shortcuts to identify homozygous recessive mutations. However, deep-intronic variants escape standard sequencing (panel; exome/WES), and their pathogenicity cannot be inferred from genomic data. We applied WES, long-read

Deep intronic MSH2 variant confirms Muir-Torre subtype of Lynch syndrome [PDF]
Whole-genome sequencing can uncover clinically significant noncoding variants missed by standard germline testing, as demonstrated in this report in a patient with Muir–Torre syndrome, a subtype of Lynch syndrome.

Paired DNA/RNA testing uncovers a deep intronic PTEN pathogenic variant associated with clinical Cowden Syndrome: a case report [PDF]
Identification of a deep intronic PTEN pathogenic variant, which was not detected by standard DNA-targeted panel sequencing but was uncovered by targeted PTEN RNA sequencing using CaptureSeq technology, illustrates the added value of concurrent DNA and ...

An FBN1 deep intronic variant is associated with pseudoexon formation and a variable Marfan phenotype in a five generation family. [PDF]
Exome sequencing of genes associated with heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) failed to identify a pathogenic variant in a large family with Marfan syndrome (MFS). A genome-wide linkage analysis for thoracic aortic disease identified a peak at 15q21.

Multiomic analysis elucidates Complex I deficiency caused by a deep intronic variant in NDUFB10. [PDF]
The diagnosis of Mendelian disorders following uninformative exome and genome sequencing remains a challenging and often unmet need. Following uninformative exome and genome sequencing of a family quartet including two siblings with suspected ...
