Visualizing the geography of genetic variants [PDF]
Abstract Summary One of the key characteristics of any genetic variant is its geographic distribution. The geographic distribution can shed light on where an allele first arose, what populations it has spread to, and in turn on how migration, genetic drift, and natural selection have acted.

Causal Genetic Variants in Stillbirth
(N Engl J Med. 2020;383:1107–1116) Between 25% and 60% of stillbirth cases are unexplained. Exome sequencing has been used to determine the cause of disease, especially in childhood disorders and fetal structural anomalies. There is an opportunity to further apply clinical exome sequencing to investigating the cause of stillbirth.

DisVar: an R library for identifying variants associated with diseases using large-scale personal genetic information [PDF]
Background Genetic variants may potentially play a contributing factor in the development of diseases. Several genetic disease databases are used in medical research and diagnosis but the web applications used to search these databases for disease ...

Rare Variants of Putative Candidate Genes Associated With Sporadic Meniere's Disease in East Asian Population [PDF]
Objectives: The cause of Meniere's disease (MD) is unclear but likely involves genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic basis underlying MD by screening putative candidate genes for MD.

Genome-wide association studies are powerful tools to elucidate the genome-to-phenome relationship. In order to explain most of the observed heritability of a phenotypic trait, a sufficient number of individuals and a large set of genetic variants must ...

Reanalysis and reclassification of rare genetic variants associated with inherited arrhythmogenic syndromes [PDF]
Background: Accurate interpretation of rare genetic variants is a challenge for clinical translation. Updates in recommendations for rare variant classification require the reanalysis and reclassification.

Genetic Determinants of Circulating Sphingolipid Concentrations in European Populations [PDF]
Sphingolipids have essential roles as structural components of cell membranes and in cell signalling, and disruption of their metabolism causes several diseases, with diverse neurological, psychiatric, and metabolic consequences.

Unified representation of genetic variants [PDF]
Abstract Summary: A genetic variant can be represented in the Variant Call Format (VCF) in multiple different ways. Inconsistent representation of variants between variant callers and analyses will magnify discrepancies between them and complicate variant filtering and duplicate removal.
