Missense-depleted regions in population exomes implicate ras superfamily nucleotide-binding protein alteration in patients with brain malformation. [PDF]
Genomic sequence interpretation can miss clinically relevant missense variants for several reasons. Rare missense variants are numerous in the exome and difficult to prioritise. Affected genes may also not have existing disease association.

A computational method for estimating the PCR duplication rate in DNA and RNA-seq experiments. [PDF]
BackgroundPCR amplification is an important step in the preparation of DNA sequencing libraries prior to high-throughput sequencing. PCR amplification introduces redundant reads in the sequence data and estimating the PCR duplication rate is important to

Quantifying single nucleotide variant detection sensitivity in exome sequencing [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The targeted capture and sequencing of genomic regions has rapidly demonstrated its utility in genetic studies. Inherent in this technology is considerable heterogeneity of target coverage and this is expected to systematically impact our ...

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 ...

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 ...

Combined exome and whole-genome sequencing identifies mutations in ARMC4 as a cause of primary ciliary dyskinesia with defects in the outer dynein arm [PDF]
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, genetically heterogeneous ciliopathy disorder affecting cilia and sperm motility. A range of ultrastructural defects of the axoneme underlie the disease, which is characterised by chronic respiratory symptoms ...

Whole-Exome Sequencing in Familial Parkinson Disease [PDF]
Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease for which susceptibility is linked to genetic and environmental risk factors.To identify genetic variants contributing to disease risk in familial PD.A 2-stage study design that included a discovery cohort of families with PD and a replication cohort of familial probands was used. In the
