Addressing the Diagnostic Odyssey for Adults With Neurodevelopmental Disabilities: Case Study of an Individual With Mandibulofacial Dysostosis With Microcephaly

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole exome sequencing (WES) has been widely used in the pediatric setting to increase diagnostic yield, provide treatment options, and to estimate reoccurrence risks. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the utility of this technology in adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
