Systematic evaluation of genome sequencing as a first-tier diagnostic test for prenatal and pediatric disorders

TL;DR: It is observed that whole genome sequencing was sensitive to the detection of all classes of pathogenic variation captured by three conventional tests, and diagnostic yields from WGS were superior to any individual genetic test, warranting further evaluation as a first-tier diagnostic approach.

New mutations, old statistical challenges

TL;DR: Based on targeted sequencing of 208 genes in 11,730 neurodevelopmental disorder cases, Stessman et al. report the identification of 91 genes associated with autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability, and developmental delay-including what they characterize as 38 novel genes, not previously reported as connected with these diseases.

Insights into the genetic epidemiology of Crohn's and rare diseases in the Ashkenazi Jewish population

TL;DR: The results suggest coordinated selection in AJ population for higher CD risk alleles in general and illustrate the value of exome sequencing data in case-control studies along with reference data sets like ExAC to pinpoint genetic variation that contributes to variable disease predisposition across populations.
