The role of exome sequencing in childhood interstitial or diffuse lung disease

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Children’s interstitial and diffuse lung disease (chILD) is a complex heterogeneous group of lung disorders. Gene panel approaches have a reported diagnostic yield of ~ 12%.

Histiocytoid cardiomyopathy and microphthalmia with linear skin defects syndrome: phenotypes linked by truncating variants in NDUFB11 [PDF]

, 2016
Variants in NDUFB11, which encodes a structural component of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC), were recently independently reported to cause histiocytoid cardiomyopathy (histiocytoid CM) and microphthalmia with linear skin defects ...

Exome Sequencing: Current and Future Perspectives

G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2015
The falling cost of DNA sequencing has made the technology af fordable to many research groups, enabling researchers to link genomic variants to observed phenotypes in a range of species. This review focusses on whole exome sequencing and its applications in humans and other species.

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy due to Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in PIGM

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective PIGM encodes a critical enzyme in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchor biosynthesis pathway. While promoter‐region mutations in PIGM have been associated with a relatively mild phenotype characterized by portal vein thrombosis and absence seizures, recent evidence suggests that coding‐region mutations result in a more severe

Diagnostic value of partial exome sequencing in developmental disorders.

PLoS ONE, 2018
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

ISOWN: accurate somatic mutation identification in the absence of normal tissue controls. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundA key step in cancer genome analysis is the identification of somatic mutations in the tumor. This is typically done by comparing the genome of the tumor to the reference genome sequence derived from a normal tissue taken from the same donor ...

Explorations to improve the completeness of exome sequencing [PDF]

BMC Medical Genomics, 2016
Exome sequencing has advanced to clinical practice and proven useful for obtaining molecular diagnoses in rare diseases. In approximately 75 % of cases, however, a clinical exome study does not produce a definitive molecular diagnosis. These residual cases comprise a new diagnostic challenge for the genetics community.

Ketogenic Diet as an Epigenetic Therapy in SETD1B‐Related Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Histone lysine methyltransferases such as SETD1B regulate chromatin structure and gene transcription. Ketone bodies, including butyrate, act as histone deacetylase inhibitors. We report a 4‐year‐old boy with SETD1B‐related absence epilepsy, refractory to conventional medications, who achieved sustained > 90% seizure reduction on the Modified ...

Molecular diagnostic yield of exome sequencing in a Chinese cohort of 512 fetuses with anomalies

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Background Currently, whole exome sequencing has been performed as a helpful complement in the prenatal setting in case of fetal anomalies. However, data on its clinical utility remain limited in practice.
