摘要：

Purpose: This report describes the National Institutes of Health Undiagnosed Diseases Program, details the Program's application of genomic technology to establish diagnoses, and details the Program's success rate during its first 2 years. Methods: Each accepted study participant was extensively phenotyped. A subset of participants and selected family members (29 patients and 78 unaffected family members) was subjected to an integrated set of genomic analyses including high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays and whole exome or genome analysis. Results: Of 1,191 medical records reviewed, 326 patients were accepted and 160 were admitted directly to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center on the Undiagnosed Diseases Program service. Of those, 47% were children, 55% were females, and 53% had neurologic disorders. Diagnoses were reached on 39 participants (24%) on clinical, biochemical, pathologic, or molecular grounds; 21 diagnoses involved rare or ultra-rare diseases. Three disorders were diagnosed based on single-nucleotide polymorphism array analysis and three others using whole exome sequencing and filtering of variants. Two new disorders were discovered. Analysis of the single-nucleotide polymorphism array study cohort revealed that large stretches of homozygosity were more common in affected participants relative to controls. Conclusion: The National Institutes of Health Undiagnosed Diseases Program addresses an unmet need, i.e., the diagnosis of patients with complex, multisystem disorders. It may serve as a model for the clinical application of emerging genomic technologies and is providing insights into the characteristics of diseases that remain undiagnosed after extensive clinical workup.
