Journal ArticleDOI

The 2017 international classification of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes

TL;DR: The International EDS Consortium proposes a revised EDS classification, which recognizes 13 subtypes, and revised the clinical criteria for hypermobile EDS in order to allow for a better distinction from other joint hypermobility disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved diagnostic yield compared with targeted gene sequencing panels suggests a role for whole-genome sequencing as a first-tier genetic test.

TL;DR: WGS as a primary clinical test provided a higher diagnostic yield than conventional genetic testing in a clinically heterogeneous cohort and confirmed recent disease associations with the genes PIGG, RNU4ATAC, TRIO, and UNC13A.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utility of whole-exome sequencing for those near the end of the diagnostic odyssey: time to address gaps in care.

TL;DR: The analysis of this dataset showed that these known disease genes were not identified prior to WES enrollment for two key reasons: genetic heterogeneity associated with a clinical diagnosis and atypical presentation of known, clinically recognized diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-genome sequencing expands diagnostic utility and improves clinical management in paediatric medicine

TL;DR: Clinical implementation of WGS as a primary test will provide a higher diagnostic yield than conventional genetic testing and potentially reduce the time required to reach a genetic diagnosis.
