Whole Exome Sequencing of Intracranial Aneurysm [PDF]
The risk of intracranial aneurysm (IA) is increased among individuals with first-degree relatives with history of IA.1 A variety of approaches have been used to identify genes that contribute to the risk of IA.2–4 Genomewide association studies have identified and replicated associations on chromosome 4q31.23 ( EDNRA ), 8q12.1 ( SOX17 ), 9p21.3 ...

Whole exome sequencing of adenoid cystic carcinoma [PDF]
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy that can occur in multiple organ sites and is primarily found in the salivary gland. While the identification of recurrent fusions of the MYB-NFIB genes have begun to shed light on the molecular underpinnings, little else is known about the molecular genetics of this frequently fatal cancer.

Isolation of single cells from human hepatoblastoma tissues for whole-exome sequencing
Summary: By combining single-cell processing with whole-exome sequencing, we have developed single-cell whole-exome sequencing to investigate the mechanisms of hepatoblastoma development and to provide potential targets and therapeutic approaches for ...

Whole exome and targeted deep sequencing identify genome-wide allelic loss and frequent SETDB1 mutations in malignant pleural mesotheliomas. [PDF]
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis, is mainly caused by exposure to asbestos or other organic fibers, but the underlying genetic mechanism is not fully understood.

Criteria for reporting incidental findings in clinical exome sequencing : a focus group study on professional practices and perspectives in Belgian genetic centres [PDF]
Background: Incidental and secondary findings (IFs and SFs) are subject to ongoing discussion as potential consequences of clinical exome sequencing (ES). International policy documents vary on the reporting of these findings.

Whole-exome sequencing in familial atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Positional cloning and candidate gene approaches have shown that atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex disease with familial aggregation. Here, we employed whole-exome sequencing (WES) in AF kindreds to identify variants associated with familial AF.WES was performed on 18 individuals in six modestly sized familial AF kindreds. After filtering very rare

Whole-exome Sequencing Study of Hypospadias [PDF]
ABSTRACTWhile hypospadias is one of the most common male congenital disorders, the missing heritability contributed by rare variants with larger effects is poorly understood. To systematically explore the variant patterns in the developing of hypospadias, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) in 191 severe hypospadias cohort and three trios ...
