A comparative analysis of exome capture [PDF]
Abstract Background Human exome resequencing using commercial target capture kits has been and is being used for sequencing large numbers of individuals to search for variants associated with various human diseases. We rigorously evaluated the capabilities of two solution exome capture kits.

The Rise and Rise of Exome Sequencing [PDF]
Beginning in 2009, the advent of exome sequencing has contributed significantly towards new discoveries of heritable germline mutations and de novo mutations for rare Mendelian disorders with hitherto unknown genetic aetiologies. Exome sequencing is an efficient tool to identify disease mutations without the need of a multi-generational pedigree ...

Next-generation sequencing and genetic diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Over 70 different Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT)–associated genes have now been discovered and their number is growing. Conventional genetic testing for all CMT genes is cumbersome, expensive, and impractical in an individual patient.

Are Mutations in the DHRS9 Gene Causally Linked to Epilepsy? A Case Report
The DHRS9 gene is involved in several pathways including the synthesis of allopregnanolone from progesterone. Allopregnanolone is a positive modulator of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) action and plays a role in the control of neuronal excitability and ...

Performance of Exome Sequencing for Pharmacogenomics [PDF]
We present the potential false-negative rate of exome sequencing for the detection of pharmacogenomic variants.Depth of coverage of 1928 pharmacogenomically relevant variant positions was ascertained from 62 exome-sequenced samples.Approximately 14% of the 1928 variant locations examined had inadequate depth of coverage (

A genome wide association study for lung function in the Korean population using an exome array [PDF]
Background/Aims Lung function is an objective indicator of diagnosis and prognosis of respiratory diseases. Many common genetic variants have been associated with lung function in multiple ethnic populations. We looked for coding variants associated with

Searching for BRCA3 by exome sequencing [PDF]
The current paradigm suggests that some non-BRCA1/2 multiple case breast cancer families are caused by rare mutations in high-risk genes. We are using exome sequencing to identify putative ‘BRCA3’ genes in a small number of kConFab families. We selected five non-BRCA1/2 families containing 5-9 breast cancer cases (of which 0-4 per family were affected ...
