Open AccessDiagnostic yield of exome and genome sequencing after non-diagnostic multi-gene panels in patients with single-system diseases
Though next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests like exome sequencing (ES), genome sequencing (GS), and panels derived from exome and genome data (EGBP) are effective for rare diseases, the ideal diagnostic appr...

Semiautomated approach focused on new genomic information results in time and effort-efficient reannotation of negative exome data
Most rare disease patients (75–50%) undergoing genomic sequencing remain unsolved, often due to lack of information about variants identified. Data review over time can leverage novel information regarding dis...

Open AccessBi-allelic variants in CELSR3 are implicated in central nervous system and urinary tract anomalies
CELSR3 codes for a planar cell polarity protein. We describe twelve affected individuals from eleven independent families with bi-allelic variants in CELSR3. Affected individuals presented with an overlap** phe...

Open AccessGain and loss of TASK3 channel function and its regulation by novel variation cause KCNK9 imprinting syndrome
Genomics enables individualized diagnosis and treatment, but large challenges remain to functionally interpret rare variants. To date, only one causative variant has been described for KCNK9 imprinting syndrome (...

Pathogenic SPTBN1 variants cause an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental syndrome
SPTBN1 encodes βII-spectrin, the ubiquitously expressed β-spectrin that forms micrometer-scale networks associated with plasma membranes. Mice deficient in neuronal βII-spectrin have defects in cortical organizat...

Open AccessNovel loss-of-function variants in TRIO are associated with neurodevelopmental disorder: case report
Damaging variants in TRIO have been associated with moderate to severe neurodevelopmental disorders in humans. While recent work has delineated the positional effect of missense variation on the resulting phenoty...

Open AccessBest practices for the analytical validation of clinical whole-genome sequencing intended for the diagnosis of germline disease
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has shown promise in becoming a first-tier diagnostic test for patients with rare genetic disorders; however, standards addressing the definition and deployment practice of a best...

Open AccessMolecular modeling of LDLR aids interpretation of genomic variants
Genetic variants in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) are known to cause familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), occurring in up to 1 in 200 people (Youngblom E. et al. 1993 and Nordestgaard BG et al. 34:347...

Chapter
Mitochondrial 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Synthase Deficiency: Unique Presenting Laboratory Values and a Review of Biochemical and Clinical Features
We report an 8-month-old infant with decreased consciousness after a febrile episode and reduced oral intake. He was profoundly acidotic but his lactate was normal. Serum triglycerides were markedly elevated a...

Open AccessLate onset asymptomatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor – A case report on the phenotypic expansion for MEN1
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a hereditary cancer syndrome associated with several endocrine as well as non-endocrine tumors and is caused by mutations in the MEN1 gene. Primary hyperparathyroidis...

Disruption of the ATXN1–CIC complex causes a spectrum of neurobehavioral phenotypes in mice and humans
Huda Zoghbi and colleagues report that loss of the ATXN1–CIC protein complex in the develo** mouse forebrain results in hyperactivity and defects in learning and memory. Loss of Cic in specific brain regions ca...

Open AccessA novel ANO3 variant identified in a 53-year-old woman presenting with hyperkinetic dysarthria, blepharospasm, hyperkinesias, and complex motor tics
Cervical dystonias have a variable presentation and underlying etiology, but collectively represent the most common form of focal dystonia. There are a number of known genetic forms of dystonia (DYT1-27); howe...

Zebrafish: a model for the study of addiction genetics
Drug abuse and dependence are multifaceted disorders with complex genetic underpinnings. Identifying specific genetic correlates is challenging and may be more readily accomplished by defining endophenotypes s...

Open AccessImpact of sample acquisition and linear amplification on gene expression profiling of lung adenocarcinoma: laser capture micro-dissection cell-sampling versus bulk tissue-sampling
The methods used for sample selection and processing can have a strong influence on the expression values obtained through microarray profiling. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) provides higher specificity ...
