Evolution of genetic techniques: past, present, and beyond. The utility of the traditional medical genetics diagnostic evaluation in the context of next-generation sequencing for undiagnosed genetic disorders. Diagnosis of rare diseases under focus: impacts for Canadian patients. Paediatric genomics: diagnosing rare disease in children. Toward clinical implementation of next-generation sequencing-based genetic testing in rare diseases: where are we? Trends Genet. Direct health-care costs for children diagnosed with genetic diseases are significantly higher than for children with other chronic diseases. The effect of Mendelian disease on human health: a measurement. Estimating cumulative point prevalence of rare diseases: analysis of the Orphanet database. This study provided one of the first estimates of the true burden of rare disease. If used effectively - through truly integrative multi-omics approaches and data sharing - the resulting large quantities of data from these established and emerging technologies will greatly improve the interpretative power of genetic and genomic diagnostics for rare diseases.įerreira, C. As genetic testing options rapidly expand, the clinical community needs to be mindful of their individual strengths and limitations, as well as remaining challenges, to select the appropriate diagnostic test, correctly interpret results and drive innovation to address insufficiencies. In addition, new omic technologies that measure the transcriptome, epigenome, proteome or metabolome are showing great potential for variant interpretation. Emerging approaches from research-based settings such as long-read genome sequencing and optical genome mapping hold promise for improving the identification of disease-causal genetic variants. However, more than half of patients remain without a diagnosis. Genomic technologies, such as targeted, exome and short-read genome sequencing approaches, have revolutionized the care of patients with rare genetic diseases. ![]()
