Accurate Molecular Diagnosis of Gaucher Disease Using Clinical Exome Sequencing as a First-Tier Test.

Abstract excerpt

Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder due to beta-glucosidase gene (GBA) mutations. The molecular diagnosis of GD is complicated by the presence of recombinant alleles originating from a highly homologous pseudogene. Clinical exome sequencing (CES) is a rapid genetic approach for identifying disease-causing mutations. However, copy number variation and recombination events are poorly...
