Detecting identity by descent and homozygosity mapping in whole-exome sequencing data. [PDF]
The detection of genetic segments of Identical by Descent (IBD) in Genome-Wide Association Studies has proven successful in pinpointing genetic relatedness between reportedly unrelated individuals and leveraging such regions to shortlist candidate genes.

Diagnostic utility of exome sequencing for inherited peripheral neuropathies
Introduction. Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies, a highly genetic heterogeneous group of disorders, have a phenotype caused by peripheral nerve damage.Purpose of the study – to assess the extent of genetic heterogeneity of hereditary motor and ...

SavvyCNV: Genome-wide CNV calling from off-target reads.
Identifying copy number variants (CNVs) can provide diagnoses to patients and provide important biological insights into human health and disease. Current exome and targeted sequencing approaches cannot detect clinically and biologically-relevant CNVs ...

Diagnostic value of partial exome sequencing in developmental disorders. [PDF]
Although intellectual disability is one of the major indications for genetic counselling, there are no homogenous diagnostic algorithms for molecular testing. While whole exome sequencing is increasingly applied, we questioned whether analyzing a partial

Dynamical System Modeling to Simulate Donor T Cell Response to Whole Exome Sequencing-Derived Recipient Peptides: Understanding Randomness in Clinical Outcomes Following Stem Cell Transplantation [PDF]
Alloreactivity following stem cell transplantation (SCT) is difficult to predict in patients undergoing transplantation from HLA matched donors. In this study we performed whole exome sequencing of SCT donor-recipient pairs (DRP). This allowed determination of entire library of alloreactive peptide sequences which would bind HLA class I molecules in ...

When moments matter: Finding answers with rapid exome sequencing
Background When time is of the essence in critical care cases, a fast molecular diagnosis is often necessary to help health care providers quickly determine best next steps for treatments, prognosis, and counseling of their patients.

Beyond the exome: what's next in diagnostic testing for Mendelian conditions [PDF]
Despite advances in clinical genetic testing, including the introduction of exome sequencing (ES), more than 50% of individuals with a suspected Mendelian condition lack a precise molecular diagnosis. Clinical evaluation is increasingly undertaken by specialists outside of clinical genetics, often occurring in a tiered fashion and typically ending ...
