Exome Sequencing in Clinical Hepatology
Hepatology, 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

Whole-exome sequencing study of hypospadias
iScience, 2023 Hypospadias results from the impaired urethral development, which is influenced by androgens, but its genetic etiology is still unknown. Through whole exome sequencing analysis, we identified NR5A1, SRD5A2, and AR as mutational hotspots in the etiology of severe hypospadias, as these genes are related to androgen signaling.

Systematic analysis of paralogous regions in 41,755 exomes uncovers clinically relevant variation
Nature Communications, 2023 The short lengths of short-read sequencing reads challenge the analysis of paralogous genomic regions in exome and genome sequencing data. Most genetic variants within these homologous regions therefore remain unidentified in standard analyses.

Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies Novel Genetic Alterations in Patients with Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020 Background Pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas (PPGL) are known as tumors with the highest level of heritability, approximately 30% of all cases. Clinical practice guidelines of PPGL recommend genetic testing for germline variants in all patients.

CEQer: a graphical tool for copy number and allelic imbalance detection from whole-exome sequencing data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Copy number alterations (CNA) are common events occurring in leukaemias and solid tumors. Comparative Genome Hybridization (CGH) is actually the gold standard technique to analyze CNAs; however, CGH analysis requires dedicated instruments and is able to ...
