The genetic architecture of pediatric cardiomyopathy

Stephanie M. Ware et al.

Summary: This study identified genetic causes in 32% of pediatric cardiomyopathy patients through exome sequencing. The sub-phenotypes of cardiomyopathy varied by ancestry, age at diagnosis, and family history. Enrichment in a candidate gene set suggests that multigenic mechanisms contribute to sub-phenotype-specific causes and presentations of cardiomyopathy.

Guidelines for clinical interpretation of variant pathogenicity using RNA phenotypes

Dmitrii Smirnov et al.

Summary: RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become an increasingly applied and effective approach in molecular diagnostics, providing complementary information to DNA sequencing. It has been shown to enhance diagnostic rates by about 15% over whole-exome sequencing by detecting aberrant RNA phenotypes associated with pathogenic variants. However, there is currently no consensus on assessing variant pathogenicity strength based on RNA phenotypes. This study aims to evaluate the value of statistical significance and effect size of RNA phenotypes as evidence for variant pathogenicity and establish recommendations for integrating RNA-seq data into classification systems for molecular diagnostics.

Emerging technologies for prenatal diagnosis: The application of whole genome and RNA sequencing

Pengfei Liu et al.

Summary: This review provides an overview of the recent developments in DNA sequencing technologies for clinical genetic testing in prenatal diagnostics. Whole genome sequencing and RNA-sequencing offer additional benefits in variant interpretation, and emerging technologies may further enhance the interpretation of expanding genetic data sets. The practical implications of introducing these technologies in prenatal diagnostics are also discussed.

A guide for the diagnosis of rare and undiagnosed disease: beyond the exome

Shruti Marwaha et al.

Summary: Rare diseases affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide, with traditional diagnostic techniques often failing to provide accurate diagnoses. New technologies such as whole genome sequencing and transcriptomics offer additional benefits in diagnosing undiagnosed patients. This review discusses the potential of these technologies, as well as computational methods and automation in genomic analysis.

Clinical implementation of RNA sequencing for Mendelian disease diagnostics

Vicente A. Yepez et al.

Summary: The lack of functional evidence hampers variant interpretation, but further sequencing of transcriptomes can help probe gene expression defects. A streamlined experimental and computational process involving RNA-seq analysis of skin fibroblasts led to the establishment of genetic diagnoses for 16% of WES-inconclusive cases, with detection of aberrant gene expression playing a major role in diagnosis, especially in identifying splice-disrupting variants.

Semaphorin Regulation by the Chromatin Remodeler CHD7: An Emerging Genetic Interaction Shaping Neural Cells and Neural Crest in Development and Cancer

Antonella Lettieri et al.

Summary: CHD7 is a chromatin remodeler protein that controls gene expression by forming multi-protein complexes with specific transcription factors. It plays roles in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, as well as organs colonized by neural crest cells such as the heart. Mutated CHD7 is associated with CHARGE syndrome and various neoplastic transformations. Recent evidence suggests genetic interactions between CHD7 and semaphorins in developmental processes and cancer progression.
