Next-generation Sequencing

101.9K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Endocrine Signaling01:45

Endocrine Signaling

69.7K
Endocrine cells produce hormones to communicate with remote target cells found in other organs. The hormone reaches these distant areas using the circulatory system. This exposes the whole organism to the hormone but only those cells expressing hormone receptors or target cells are affected. Thus, endocrine signaling induces slow responses from its target cells but these effects also last longer.

What is the Endocrine System?

426.2K
The endocrine system sends hormones—chemical signals—through the bloodstream to target cells—the cells the hormones selectively affect. These signals are produced in endocrine cells, secreted into the extracellular fluid, and then diffuse into the blood. Eventually, they diffuse out of the blood and bind to target cells which have specialized receptors to recognize the hormones.

RNA-seq03:21

RNA-seq

12.6K
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases. 
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Endocrinology
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Advances in genomic sequencing, particularly next-generation sequencing (NGS), have significantly increased the use of molecular diagnostics in clinical settings.
  • NGS overcomes previous limitations, facilitating the adoption of molecular testing for routine diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide clinicians with a guide to applying NGS for genetic testing in endocrine conditions.
  • To compile a list of established gene mutations detectable by NGS for endocrine disorders.
  • To highlight key phenotypic features associated with these genetic mutations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established gene mutations detectable by NGS in endocrine disorders.
  • Compilation of key phenotypic features for each disorder.
  • Inclusion of a case study illustrating NGS application (hypophosphatasia due to ALPL mutation).

Main Results:

  • Targeted NGS is a valuable tool complementing biochemical and imaging studies in endocrinology.
  • The clinical utility of NGS-based molecular testing for endocrine disorders is very high.
  • Identifying the genetic etiology improves disease comprehension and family understanding.

Conclusions:

  • NGS-based genetic testing offers significant clinical utility in endocrinology.
  • Accurate genetic diagnosis guides screening, prevention, and treatment decisions for endocrine conditions.
  • NGS facilitates a precise understanding of disease mechanisms and inheritance patterns.
