Whole Exome Sequencing Faqs
WHOLE EXOME SEQUENCING (WES) Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is generally ordered when a patient’s medical history and physical exam strongly suggest that there is an underlying genetic etiology. In some cases, the patient may have had an extensive evaluation consisting of multiple genetic tests, without identifying an etiology. In other cases, a physician may opt to order one of the Whole Exome Sequencing tests early in the patient’s evaluation in an effort to expedite a possible diagnosis and reduce costs incurred by multiple tests. Whole Exome Sequencing is a highly complex test that is newly developed for the identification of changes in a patient’s DNA that are causative or related to their medical concerns. In contrast to current sequencing tests that analyze one gene or small groups of related genes at a time, Whole Exome Sequencing analyzes the exons or coding regions of thousands of genes simultaneously using next-generation sequencing techniques. The exome refers to the portion of the human genome that contains functionally important sequences of DNA that direct the body to make proteins essential for the body to function properly. These regions of DNA are referred to as exons. There are approximately 180,000 exons in the human genome which represents about 3% of the genome. These 180,000 exons are arranged in about 22,000 genes. It is known that many of the errors that occur in DNA sequences that then lead to genetic disorders are located in the exons. Therefore, sequencing of the exome is thought to be an efficient method of analyzing a patient’s DNA to discover the genetic cause of diseases or disabilities. -
Next-Gen Sequencing Identifies Non-Coding Variation Disrupting
OPEN Molecular Psychiatry (2018) 23, 1375–1384 www.nature.com/mp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Next-gen sequencing identifies non-coding variation disrupting miRNA-binding sites in neurological disorders P Devanna1, XS Chen2,JHo1,2, D Gajewski1, SD Smith3, A Gialluisi2,4, C Francks2,5, SE Fisher2,5, DF Newbury6,7 and SC Vernes1,5 Understanding the genetic factors underlying neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders is a major challenge given their prevalence and potential severity for quality of life. While large-scale genomic screens have made major advances in this area, for many disorders the genetic underpinnings are complex and poorly understood. To date the field has focused predominantly on protein coding variation, but given the importance of tightly controlled gene expression for normal brain development and disorder, variation that affects non-coding regulatory regions of the genome is likely to play an important role in these phenotypes. Herein we show the importance of 3 prime untranslated region (3'UTR) non-coding regulatory variants across neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. We devised a pipeline for identifying and functionally validating putatively pathogenic variants from next generation sequencing (NGS) data. We applied this pipeline to a cohort of children with severe specific language impairment (SLI) and identified a functional, SLI-associated variant affecting gene regulation in cells and post-mortem human brain. This variant and the affected gene (ARHGEF39) represent new putative risk factors for SLI. Furthermore, we identified 3′UTR regulatory variants across autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder NGS cohorts demonstrating their impact on neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Our findings show the importance of investigating non-coding regulatory variants when determining risk factors contributing to neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. -
An Efficient and Scalable Analysis Framework for Variant Extraction and Refinement from Population-Scale DNA Sequence Data
Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on October 4, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Method An efficient and scalable analysis framework for variant extraction and refinement from population-scale DNA sequence data Goo Jun,1,2 Mary Kate Wing,2 Gonçalo R. Abecasis,2 and Hyun Min Kang2 1Human Genetics Center, School of Public Health, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, Texas 77030, USA; 2Center for Statistical Genetics and Department of Biostatistics, University of Michigan School of Public Health, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA The analysis of next-generation sequencing data is computationally and statistically challenging because of the massive vol- ume of data and imperfect data quality. We present GotCloud, a pipeline for efficiently detecting and genotyping high- quality variants from large-scale sequencing data. GotCloud automates sequence alignment, sample-level quality control, variant calling, filtering of likely artifacts using machine-learning techniques, and genotype refinement using haplotype in- formation. The pipeline can process thousands of samples in parallel and requires less computational resources than current alternatives. Experiments with whole-genome and exome-targeted sequence data generated by the 1000 Genomes Project show that the pipeline provides effective filtering against false positive variants and high power to detect true variants. Our pipeline has already contributed to variant detection and genotyping in several large-scale sequencing projects, including the 1000 Genomes Project and the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. We hope it will now prove useful to many medical sequencing studies.
