Exome Chip Analysis of 14,026 Koreans Reveals Known and Newly Discovered Genetic Loci Associated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
Background Most loci associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) discovered to date are within noncoding regions of unknown functional significance. By contrast, exonic regions have advantages for biological interpretation.

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 (

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.

Assessing the Power of Exome Chips
Genotyping chips for rare and low-frequent variants have recently gained popularity with the introduction of exome chips, but the utility of these chips remains unclear. These chips were designed using exome sequencing data from mainly American-European individuals, enriched for a narrow set of common diseases.
