Genetic diagnosis by whole exome capture and massively parallel DNA sequencing

Abstract excerpt

Protein coding genes constitute only approximately 1% of the human genome but harbor 85% of the mutations with large effects on disease-related traits. Therefore, efficient strategies for selectively sequencing complete coding regions (i.e., "whole exome") have the potential to contribute to the understanding of rare and common human diseases. Here we report a method for whole-exome sequencing coupling...
