Leveraging underrepresented population data improves interpretation of genetic variants associated with hearing loss

Scientific Reports
Hearing loss is genetically heterogeneous, with over 121 implicated genes. Minor allele frequency (MAF) data from population databases greatly aid variant interpretation; however, these databases are predominantly based on individuals of European ...

Performance Characteristics of Anti‐Collagen II Antibodies in Relapsing Polychondritis and Related Diseases: Prospective Analysis, Systematic Review, and Meta‐Analysis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare disease defined by recurrent cartilaginous inflammation. Anti‐collagen II (anti‐Col2) antibodies have been proposed as a diagnostic biomarker for RP, but their performance characteristics are not well defined.

Systematic genetic assessment of hearing loss using whole-genome sequencing identifies pathogenic variants

Experimental and Molecular Medicine
Hearing loss is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous sensorineural disease that affects approximately 1 out of 1000 newborns. For the molecular diagnosis of genetic hearing loss, target panel or whole-exome sequencing (WES) have been widely used ...
