Diagnostic testing laboratories are valuable partners for disease gene discovery: 5-year experience with GeneMatcher.

Abstract excerpt

Although the rates of disease gene discovery have steadily increased with the expanding use of genome and exome sequencing by clinical and research laboratories, only ~16% of genes in the genome have confirmed disease associations. Here we describe our clinical laboratory's experience utilizing GeneMatcher, an online portal designed to promote disease gene discovery and data sharing. Since 2016, we submitted 246...
