The Genetic Basis of Mendelian Phenotypes: Discoveries, Challenges, and Opportunities

TL;DR: This collaborative effort has identified 956 genes, including 375 not previously associated with human health, that underlie a Mendelian phenotype, providing insight into study design and analytical strategies, identify novel mechanisms of disease, and reveal the extensive clinical variability of Mendelia phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detectable clonal mosaicism from birth to old age and its relationship to cancer.

Cathy C. Laurie, +72 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Clonal mosaicism for large chromosomal anomalies (duplications, deletions and uniparental disomy) is detected using SNP microarray data from over 50,000 subjects recruited for genome-wide association studies to identify common deleted regions with genes previously associated with hematological cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detecting and Estimating Contamination of Human DNA Samples in Sequencing and Array-Based Genotype Data

TL;DR: Through a combination of analysis of in silico and experimentally contaminated samples, it is shown that the methods described can reliably detect and estimate levels of contamination as low as 1%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lessons learned from whole exome sequencing in multiplex families affected by a complex genetic disorder, intracranial aneurysm

Janice L. Farlow, +80 more
- 24 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sequencing of densely affected families permits exploration of the role of rare variants in a relatively common disease such as IA, although there are important study design considerations for applying sequencing to complex disorders.
