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.

An heuristic filtering tool to identify phenotype-associated genetic variants applied to human intellectual disability and canine coat colors [PDF]
Background: Identification of one or several disease causing variant(s) from the large collection of variants present in an individual is often achieved by the sequential use of heuristic filters.

Criteria for reporting incidental findings in clinical exome sequencing : a focus group study on professional practices and perspectives in Belgian genetic centres [PDF]
Background: Incidental and secondary findings (IFs and SFs) are subject to ongoing discussion as potential consequences of clinical exome sequencing (ES). International policy documents vary on the reporting of these findings.

GATA2 Deficiency in Adult Life Is Characterized by Phenotypic Diversity and Delayed Diagnosis
The transcription factor GATA2 plays a key role in the survival and self-renewal of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Autosomal dominant variants in GATA2 cause a broad spectrum of heterogeneous phenotypes.

Somatic mutations render human exome and pathogen DNA more similar
Immunotherapy has recently shown important clinical successes in a substantial number of oncology indications. Additionally, the tumor somatic mutation load has been shown to associate with response to these therapeutic agents, and specific mutational ...
