Despite advances in high-throughput sequencing that have revolutionized the discovery of gene defects in rare Mendelian diseases, there are still gaps in translating individual …
Abstract InterPro (http://www. ebi. ac. uk/interpro/) is a freely available database used to classify protein sequences into families and to predict the presence of important domains …
Deep phenotyping has been defined as the precise and comprehensive analysis of phenotypic abnormalities in which the individual components of the phenotype are observed …
There are approximately 800 annotated G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) genes, making these membrane receptors members of the most abundant gene family in the human …
Patient genomes are interpretable only in the context of other genomes; however, genome sharing enables discrimination. Thousands of monogenic diseases have yielded definitive …
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most frequent symptomatic primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent infections, hypogammaglobulinemia and poor …
Notwithstanding important advances in the context of single-variant pathogenicity identification, novel breakthroughs in discerning the origins of many rare diseases require …
