Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Exome and genome sequencing have drastically accelerated novel disease gene discoveries. However, discovery is still hindered by myriad variants of uncertain significance found in genes of undetermined biological function. This necessitates intensive functional experiments on genes of equal predicted causality, leading to a major bottleneck. METHODS: We apply the loss-of-function observed/expected...
