Routes for breaching and protecting genetic privacy [PDF]
We are entering the era of ubiquitous genetic information for research, clinical care, and personal curiosity. Sharing these datasets is vital for rapid progress in understanding the genetic basis of human diseases. However, one growing concern is the ability to protect the genetic privacy of the data originators.

Analysis of the human diseasome reveals phenotype modules across common, genetic, and infectious diseases [PDF]
Phenotypes are the observable characteristics of an organism arising from its response to the environment. Phenotypes associated with engineered and natural genetic variation are widely recorded using phenotype ontologies in model organisms, as are signs and symptoms of human Mendelian diseases in databases such as OMIM and Orphanet.

Cataract and genetic diseases [PDF]
Despite the decreasing number of cases, cataract is still the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. The search for the causes of this disease, its risk factors and the relationship with systemic diseases is the subject of many ...

While many genetic diseases have effective treatments, they frequently progress rapidly to severe morbidity or mortality if those treatments are not implemented immediately.

Future of genetic therapies for rare genetic diseases: what to expect for the next 15 years?
Introduction: Rare genetic diseases affect millions of people worldwide. Most of them are caused by defective genes that impair quality of life and can lead to premature death.

Deep learning for diagnosing patients with rare genetic diseases
There are more than 7,000 rare diseases, some of which affect 3,500 or fewer patients in the US. Due to clinicians' limited experience with such diseases and the considerable heterogeneity of their clinical presentations, many patients with rare genetic ...

Clinical interpretation of genetic variants in the context of the patient’s phenotype is becoming the largest component of cost and time expenditure for genome-based diagnosis of rare genetic diseases.

To elevate the accuracy of diagnostic results, CNV-seq is usually performed simultaneously with karyotyping or QF-PCR. Although several studies have investigated the performance of the combined use of CNV-seq with karyotyping or QF-PCR, there have been ...

Network location and clustering of genetic mutations determine chronicity in a stylized model of genetic diseases [PDF]
In a highly simplified view, a disease can be seen as the phenotype emerging from the interplay of genetic predisposition and fluctuating environmental stimuli. We formalize this situation in a minimal model, where a network (representing cellular regulation) serves as an interface between an input layer (representing environment) and an output layer ...

Background There is a paucity of information available regarding the carrier frequency for autosomal recessive pathogenic variants among Syrian Jews. This report provides data to support carrier screening for a group of autosomal recessive conditions ...
