Diagnostic yield of exome and genome sequencing after non-diagnostic multi-gene panels in patients with single-system diseases. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2024; 19:216. [PMID: 38790019 PMCID: PMC11127317 DOI: 10.1186/s13023-024-03213-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Though next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests like exome sequencing (ES), genome sequencing (GS), and panels derived from exome and genome data (EGBP) are effective for rare diseases, the ideal diagnostic approach is debated. Limited research has explored reanalyzing raw ES and GS data post-negative EGBP results for diagnostics. RESULTS We analyzed complete ES/GS raw sequencing data from Mayo Clinic's Program for Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases (PRaUD) patients to assess whether supplementary findings could augment diagnostic yield. ES data from 80 patients (59 adults) and GS data from 20 patients (10 adults), averaging 43 years in age, were analyzed. Most patients had renal (n=44) and auto-inflammatory (n=29) phenotypes. Ninety-six cases had negative findings and in four cases additional genetic variants were found, including a variant related to a recently described disease (RRAGD-related hypomagnesemia), a variant missed due to discordant inheritance pattern (COL4A3), a variant with high allelic frequency (NPHS2) in the general population, and a variant associated with an initially untargeted phenotype (HNF1A). CONCLUSION ES and GS show diagnostic yields comparable to EGBP for single-system diseases. However, EGBP's limitations in detecting new disease-associated genes underscore the necessity for periodic updates.

Maceda I, Lao O. Analysis of the Batch Effect Due to Sequencing Center in Population Statistics Quantifying Rare Events in the 1000 Genomes Project. Genes (Basel) 2021; 13:genes13010044. [PMID: 35052384 PMCID: PMC8775088 DOI: 10.3390/genes13010044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 12/19/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
The 1000 Genomes Project (1000G) is one of the most popular whole genome sequencing datasets used in different genomics fields and has boosting our knowledge in medical and population genomics, among other fields. Recent studies have reported the presence of ghost mutation signals in the 1000G. Furthermore, studies have shown that these mutations can influence the outcomes of follow-up studies based on the genetic variation of 1000G, such as single nucleotide variants (SNV) imputation. While the overall effect of these ghost mutations can be considered negligible for common genetic variants in many populations, the potential bias remains unclear when studying low frequency genetic variants in the population. In this study, we analyze the effect of the sequencing center in predicted loss of function (LoF) alleles, the number of singletons, and the patterns of archaic introgression in the 1000G. Our results support previous studies showing that the sequencing center is associated with LoF and singletons independent of the population that is considered. Furthermore, we observed that patterns of archaic introgression were distorted for some populations depending on the sequencing center. When analyzing the frequency of SNPs showing extreme patterns of genotype differentiation among centers for CEU, YRI, CHB, and JPT, we observed that the magnitude of the sequencing batch effect was stronger at MAF < 0.2 and showed different profiles between CHB and the other populations. All these results suggest that data from 1000G must be interpreted with caution when considering statistics using variants at low frequency.
