Open AccessTargeting de novo loss-of-function variants in constrained disease genes improves diagnostic rates in the 100,000 Genomes Project
Genome sequencing was first offered clinically in the UK through the 100,000 Genomes Project (100KGP). Analysis was restricted to predefined gene panels associated with the patient’s phenotype. However, panels...

Open AccessA CRISPR and high-content imaging assay compliant with ACMG/AMP guidelines for clinical variant interpretation in ciliopathies
Ciliopathies are a broad range of inherited developmental and degenerative diseases associated with structural or functional defects in motile or primary non-motile cilia. There are around 200 known ciliopathy...

Evaluation of PRDM9 variation as a risk factor for recurrent genomic disorders and chromosomal non-disjunction
Recent studies have identified PRDM9, a zinc finger (ZF) protein, as a key regulator of meiotic recombination. As both recurrent genomic disorders and chromosomal non-disjunction are known to be associated with s...

Breakpoint map** and haplotype analysis of three reciprocal translocations identify a novel recurrent translocation in two unrelated families: t(4;11)(p16.2;p15.4)
The majority of constitutional reciprocal translocations appear to be unique rearrangements arising from independent events. However, a small number of translocations are recurrent, most significantly the t(11...

Investigation of the origins of human autosomal inversions
A significant proportion of both pericentric and paracentric inversions have recurrent breakpoints and so could either have arisen through multiple independent events or be identical by descent (IBD) with a si...

Parental and chromosomal origin of unbalanced de novo structural chromosome abnormalities in man
We report the parental origin, and where possible the chromosomal origin of 115 de novo unbalanced structural chromosome abnormalities detectable by light microscopy. These consisted of 39 terminal deletions, ...

Functional disomy resulting from duplications of distal Xq in four unrelated patients
Duplications involving the X chromosome, in which the duplicated region is not subject to inactivation, are rare. We describe four distal Xq duplications, in three males and one female, in which the duplicated...

A study of females with deletions of the short arm of the X chromosome
We have undertaken a clinical and molecular study of 25 females with deletions of the short arm of the X chromosome. We have determined the deletion breakpoints, the parental origin and the activation status o...
