Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review discusses the strengths and challenges of using whole genome sequencing (WGS)/whole exome sequencing (WES) for identifying novel genetic causes of primary immunodeficiencies. RECENT FINDINGS: WGS permits comprehensive sequencing of introns and exons, whereas WES allows deeper sequencing of exonic regions at a lower cost. Due to the large number of genetic variants found in each...
