Unexpected perinatal death caused by an occult MTM1 mutation: a case report
BackgroundGenetic mutations can lead to miscarriages, perinatal deaths, and abnormalities in fetal development. Sometimes, the regular prenatal test cannot identify some rare diseases, but whole-exome sequencing can be performed.

Whole exome sequencing enhances diagnosis of hereditary bronchiectasis
Background Hereditary bronchiectasis refers to a subset of bronchiectasis related to genetic mutations, presenting with common clinical features. Historically, diagnosing this condition has been difficult due to the inaccessibility of diagnostic services

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.

Clinical impact of splicing in neurodevelopmental disorders. [PDF]
Clinical exome sequencing is frequently used to identify gene-disrupting variants in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. While splice-disrupting variants are known to contribute to these disorders, clinical interpretation of cryptic splice ...
