Next-generation sequencing in molecular diagnosis: NUBPL mutations highlight the challenges of variant detection and interpretation.

Abstract excerpt

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is transitioning from being a research tool to being used in routine genetic diagnostics, where a major challenge is distinguishing which of many sequence variants in an individual are truly pathogenic. We describe some limitations of in silico analyses of NGS data that emphasize the need for experimental confirmation. Using NGS, we recently identified an apparently homozygous...
