摘要
Complex genetic disease mechanisms, such as structural or non-coding variants, currently pose a substantial difficulty in frontline diagnostic tests. They thus may account for most unsolved rare disease patients regardless of the clinical phenotype. However, the clinical diagnosis can narrow the genetic focus to just a couple of genes for patients with well-established syndromes defined by prominent physical and/or unique biochemical phenotypes, allowing deeper analyses to consider complex genetic origin. Then, clinical-diagnosis-driven genome sequencing strategies may expedite the development of testing and analytical methods to account for complex disease mechanisms as well as to advance functional assays for the confirmation of complex variants, clinical management, and the development of new therapies.
