Abstract:
The potential of genome sequencing (GS), which allows detection of almost all types of genetic variation across nearly the entire genome of an individual, greatly expands the possibility for diagnosing genetic disorders. The opportunities provided with this single test are enticing to researchers and clinicians worldwide for human genetic research as well as clinical application. Multiple studies have highlighted the advantages of GS for genetic variant discovery, emphasizing its added value for routine clinical use. We have implemented GS as first-line genetic testing for patients with rare diseases. Here, we report on our experiences in establishing GS as a reliable diagnostic method for almost all types of genetic disorders, from validating diagnostic accuracy of sequencing pipelines to clinical implementation in routine practice.
