Abstract excerpt
Trio exome sequencing is a powerful tool in the molecular investigation of monogenic disorders and provides an incremental diagnostic yield over proband-only sequencing, mainly due to the rapid identification of de novo disease-causing variants. However, heterozygous variants inherited from unaffected parents may be inadvertently dismissed, although multiple explanations are available for such scenarios including...
