Next generation sequencing--implications for clinical practice

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic testing in inherited disease has traditionally relied upon recognition of the presenting clinical syndrome and targeted analysis of genes known to be linked to that syndrome. Consequently, many patients with genetic syndromes remain without a specific diagnosis. AREAS OF AGREEMENT: New 'next-generation' sequencing (NGS) techniques permit simultaneous sequencing of enormous amounts of DNA. A...
