A Path to Implement Precision Child Health Cardiovascular Medicine. [PDF]
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) affect approximately 1% of live births and are a major source of childhood morbidity and mortality even in countries with advanced healthcare systems. Along with phenotypic heterogeneity, the underlying etiology of CHDs is

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.

SECNVs: A Simulator of Copy Number Variants and Whole-Exome Sequences From Reference Genomes
Copy number variants are duplications and deletions of the genome that play an important role in phenotypic changes and human disease. Many software applications have been developed to detect copy number variants using either whole-genome sequencing or ...

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 ...

PCR-free whole exome sequencing: Cost-effective and efficient in detecting rare mutations.
In this study, we describe the development of a PCR-free whole exome sequencing method. Using this method, 2 μg DNA was sufficient for library preparation for whole exome sequencing.
