Abstract excerpt
Functional annotation and interpretation of genetic variants are a critical step in genetic diagnosis, as it may lead to personalized therapeutic options and genetic counseling. While the number of confirmed pathogenic genetic variants in an individual is relatively low, the number of variants of uncertain significance (VOUS) can be considerably higher, increasing the number of potential carriers of genetic...
