How to Catch All Those Mutations—The Report of the Third Human Variome Project Meeting, UNESCO Paris, May 2010

TLDR
The third Human Variome Project (HVP) Meeting “Integration and Implementation” was held under UNESCO Patronage in Paris, France, at the UNESCO Headquarters May 10–14, 2010, and addressed the 12 key areas that form the current framework of HVP activities.
Abstract
The third Human Variome Project (HVP) Meeting "Integration and Implementation" was held under UNESCO Patronage in Paris, France, at the UNESCO Headquarters May 10-14, 2010. The major aims of the HVP are the collection, curation, and distribution of all human genetic variation affecting health. The HVP has drawn together disparate groups, by country, gene of interest, and expertise, who are working for the common good with the shared goal of pushing the boundaries of the human variome and collaborating to avoid unnecessary duplication. The meeting addressed the 12 key areas that form the current framework of HVP activities: Ethics; Nomenclature and Standards; Publication, Credit and Incentives; Data Collection from Clinics; Overall Data Integration and Access-Peripheral Systems/Software; Data Collection from Laboratories; Assessment of Pathogenicity; Country Specific Collection; Translation to Healthcare and Personalized Medicine; Data Transfer, Databasing, and Curation; Overall Data Integration and Access-Central Systems; and Funding Mechanisms and Sustainability. In addition, three societies that support the goals and the mission of HVP also held their own Workshops with the view to advance disease-specific variation data collection and utilization: the International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours, the Micronutrient Genomics Project, and the Neurogenetics Consortium.

Exome sequencing as a tool for Mendelian disease gene discovery

TL;DR: Experimental and analytical approaches relating to exome sequencing have established a rich framework for discovering the genes underlying unsolved Mendelian disorders and set the stage for applying exome and whole-genome sequencing to facilitate clinical diagnosis and personalized disease-risk profiling.

How to evaluate performance of prediction methods? Measures and their interpretation in variation effect analysis

TL;DR: Six main performance evaluation measures are introduced and together with receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis they provide a good picture about the performance of methods and allow their objective and quantitative comparison.

Variation Interpretation Predictors: Principles, Types, Performance, and Choice.

TL;DR: The different types of predictors and their applications for variation interpretation are discussed, including generic tolerance (pathogenicity) predictors for filtering harmful variants and Gene/protein/disease‐specific tools available for some applications.

Deep sequencing of patient genomes for disease diagnosis: when will it become routine?

TL;DR: Whether and how genome sequencing might become routine for clinical diagnosis may be discussed, as well as whether and how whole-genome sequencing could be routine for diagnostic purposes.

Correlating disease related mutations to their effect on protein stability: a large scale analysis of the human proteome

TL;DR: Statistically validated analysis of the different P/Pd correlations indicate that Pd best correlates with Pp, corroborates the assumption that protein stability changes can also be disease associated at the proteome level and rationalizes in a nutshell the complexity of the question.
