TL;DR: The CLARITY Challenge provides a comprehensive assessment of current practices for using genome sequencing to diagnose and report genetic diseases and reveals a general convergence of practices on most elements of the analysis and interpretation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive genetic testing in the clinical evaluation of 1119 patients with hearing loss

TL;DR: Findings support the more efficient utilization of medical resources through the development of evidence-based algorithms for the diagnosis of hearing loss through targeted genomic enrichment and massively parallel sequencing.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel deletion involving the connexin-30 gene, del(GJB6-d13s1854), found in trans with mutations in the GJB2 gene (connexin-26) in subjects with DFNB1 non-syndromic hearing impairment

TL;DR: The finding of a large number of affected subjects with only one GJB2 mutant allele complicates the molecular diagnosis of DFNB1 deafness, which has become the standard of care for the diagnosis of patients with non-syndromic hearing impairment of unknown cause.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A comprehensive illustration of the newly specified ACMG/AMP HL rules are provided, which will help standardize variant interpretation, ultimately leading to better care for individuals with HL.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genotype-phenotype correlation for GJB2 (connexin 26) deafness.
