TLDR
The impact of discovering rare-disease-causing genes, from clinical diagnostics to insights gained into biological mechanisms and common diseases, is highlighted and the increasing therapeutic opportunities and challenges that the resulting expansion of the 'atlas' of human genetic pathology will bring are explored.Abstract:
Work over the past 25 years has resulted in the identification of genes responsible for ~50% of the estimated 7,000 rare monogenic diseases, and it is predicted that most of the remaining disease-causing genes will be identified by the year 2020, and probably sooner. This marked acceleration is the result of dramatic improvements in DNA-sequencing technologies and the associated analyses. We examine the rapid maturation of rare-disease genetic analysis and successful strategies for gene identification. We highlight the impact of discovering rare-disease-causing genes, from clinical diagnostics to insights gained into biological mechanisms and common diseases. Last, we explore the increasing therapeutic opportunities and challenges that the resulting expansion of the 'atlas' of human genetic pathology will bring.read more

Prevalence and architecture of de novo mutations in developmental disorders
TL;DR: It is shown that the most important factors influencing the diagnostic yield of DNMs are the sex of the affected individual, the relatedness of their parents, whether close relatives are affected and the parental ages.

Engineering adeno-associated viruses for clinical gene therapy
TL;DR: New approaches to engineer and improve AAV vectors and their genetic cargo are increasingly helping to overcome barriers to extension of clinical gene therapy successes to many other human diseases.

TL;DR: In this article, a software program incorporating automatic speech-identification technology processed the recorded file to analyze the sounds the children were exposed to and the sounds they made, and a conditional linear regression was used to determine the association between audible television and the outcomes of interest.
