Resumen
La secuenciación del genoma de lectura corta (GS) ayuda al diagnóstico de enfermedades raras mediante la identificación de variantes genéticas omitidas por la secuenciación del exoma (ES). Este estudio encontró nuevas causas genéticas para la discapacidad intelectual / retraso en el desarrollo, mejorando las capacidades de diagnóstico.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La genómica
- La genética médica
- Enfermedades raras
Sus antecedentes:
- La discapacidad intelectual/retraso en el desarrollo (ID/DD) a menudo tiene una causa genética no diagnosticada.
- La secuenciación del exoma (ES) tiene limitaciones de diagnóstico para ciertas variaciones genéticas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Evaluar la utilidad de la secuenciación del genoma de lectura corta (GS) en el diagnóstico de trastornos genéticos raros.
- Identificar los nuevos mecanismos etiológicos subyacentes a la ID/DD.
Principales métodos:
- Realizó GS en 260 familias con ID/DD.
- Se utilizó secuenciación de larga lectura y mapeo óptico del genoma para la resolución de variantes estructurales.
- Se llevó a cabo la secuenciación del ARN para evaluaciones funcionales.
Principales resultados:
- GS detectó variantes potencialmente relacionadas con la enfermedad en el 10,5% de los casos no resueltos por ES.
- Se identificaron nuevos mecanismos, incluida la microduplicación de ATP6V0C, las interacciones reguladoras de TBL1XR1/ NR2F1 y la expansión de repetición de CHD3 CCG.
- GS proporcionó resolución estructural para reordenamientos cromosómicos complejos.
Conclusiones:
- GS es crítico para el diagnóstico clínico de trastornos genéticos raros.
- GS amplía la comprensión de las etiologías genéticas y el rendimiento diagnóstico.
- Este enfoque mejora la detección de diversas variaciones genéticas.

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.

Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

11.5K
In the same year as the discovery of the Sanger sequencing method, another group of scientists, Allan Maxam and Walter Gilbert, demonstrated their chemical-cleavage method for DNA sequencing. The Maxam-Gilbert method relies on using different chemicals that can cleave the DNA sequence at specific sites, the separation of resulting DNA fragments of variable size using electrophoresis, and deciphering the DNA sequence from the resulting gel bands.

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

35.2K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...
