Abstract excerpt
Disease gene discovery has been transformed by affordable sequencing of exomes and genomes. Identification of disease-causing mutations requires sifting through a large number of sequence variants. A subset of the variants are unlikely to be good candidates for disease causation based on one or more of the following criteria: (1) being located in genomic regions known to be highly polymorphic, (2) having...
