A Drosophila Genetic Resource of Mutants to Study Mechanisms Underlying Human Genetic Diseases

TL;DR: A mosaic genetic screen of lethal mutations on the Drosophila X chromosome is conducted to identify genes required for the development, function, and maintenance of the nervous system and to provide insights into microcephaly associated with brain dysgenesis.

Lessons learned from additional research analyses of unsolved clinical exome cases

TL;DR: In this article, the authors designed and implemented protocols for the study of cases for which a plausible molecular diagnosis was not achieved in a clinical genomics diagnostic laboratory (i.e., unsolved clinical exomes).

Lessons learned from additional research analyses of unsolved clinical exome cases

TL;DR: An efficient genomics pipeline in which clinical sequencing in a diagnostic laboratory is followed by the detailed reanalysis of unsolved cases in a research environment, supplemented with WES data from additional family members, and subject to adjuvant bioinformatics analyses including relaxed variant filtering parameters in informatics pipelines, can enhance the molecular diagnostic yield and provide mechanistic insights into Mendelian disorders.
