A Novel null homozygous mutation confirms CACNA2D2 as a gene mutated in epileptic encephalopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Contribution to epileptic encephalopathy (EE) of mutations in CACNA2D2, encoding α2δ-2 subunit of Voltage Dependent Calcium Channels, is unclear. To date only one CACNA2D2 mutation altering channel functionality has been identified in a single family. In

Exome Sequencing in Clinical Hepatology

open access: yesHepatology, 2019
The clinical relevance of the Human Genome Project and next‐generation sequencing technology was demonstrated for the first time in 2009, when whole‐exome sequencing (WES) provided the definitive diagnosis of congenital chloride diarrhea in an infant with presumed renal salt‐wasting disease. Over the past decade, numerous studies have shown the utility

Integrated Model of De Novo and Inherited Genetic Variants Yields Greater Power to Identify Risk Genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
De novo mutations affect risk for many diseases and disorders, especially those with early-onset. An example is autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Four recent whole-exome sequencing (WES) studies of ASD families revealed a handful of novel risk genes ...
