Comprehensive gene panels provide advantages over clinical exome sequencing for Mendelian diseases
25 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To understand the contribution of Mendelian mutations to the burden of undiagnosed diseases that are suspected to be genetic in origin, we developed a next-generation sequencing-based multiplexing assay that encompasses the ~3000 known Mendelian genes. This assay, which we term the Mendeliome, comprises 13 gene panels based on clinical themes, covering the spectrum of pediatric and adult clinical...
