Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by deleterious variants in each CFTR gene. We investigated the utility of whole-gene CFTR sequencing when fewer than two pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants were detected by conventional testing (sequencing of exons and flanking introns) of CFTR. METHODS Individuals with features of CF and a CF-diagnostic sweat chloride concentration with zero or one P/LP variants identified by conventional testing enrolled in the CF Mutation Analysis Program (MAP) underwent whole-gene CFTR sequencing. Replication was performed on individuals enrolled in the CF Genome Project (CFGP), followed by phenotype review and interrogation of other genes. RESULTS Whole-gene sequencing identified a second P/LP variant in 20/43 MAP enrollees (47 %) and 10/22 CFGP enrollees (45 %) who had one P/LP variant after conventional testing. No P/LP variants were detected when conventional testing was negative (MAP: n = 43; CFGP: n = 13). Genome-wide analysis was unable to find an alternative etiology in CFGP participants with fewer than two P/LP CFTR variants and CF could not be confirmed in 91 % following phenotype re-review. CONCLUSIONS Whole-gene CFTR analysis is beneficial in individuals with one previously-identified P/LP variant and a CF-diagnostic sweat chloride. Negative conventional CFTR testing indicates that the phenotype should be re-evaluated.

Abstract
Since genotype imputation was introduced, researchers have been relying on the estimated imputation quality from imputation software to perform post-imputation quality control (QC). However, this quality estimate (denoted as Rsq) performs less well for lower-frequency variants. We recently published MagicalRsq, a machine-learning-based imputation quality calibration, which leverages additional typed markers from the same cohort and outperforms Rsq as a QC metric. In this work, we extended the original MagicalRsq to allow cross-cohort model training and named the new model MagicalRsq-X. We removed the cohort-specific estimated minor allele frequency and included linkage disequilibrium scores and recombination rates as additional features. Leveraging whole-genome sequencing data from TOPMed, specifically participants in the BioMe, JHS, WHI, and MESA studies, we performed comprehensive cross-cohort evaluations for predominantly European and African ancestral individuals based on their inferred global ancestry with the 1000 Genomes and Human Genome Diversity Project data as reference. Our results suggest MagicalRsq-X outperforms Rsq in almost every setting, with 7.3%-14.4% improvement in squared Pearson correlation with true R2, corresponding to 85-218 K variant gains. We further developed a metric to quantify the genetic distances of a target cohort relative to a reference cohort and showed that such metric largely explained the performance of MagicalRsq-X models. Finally, we found MagicalRsq-X saved up to 53 known genome-wide significant variants in one of the largest blood cell trait GWASs that would be missed using the original Rsq for QC. In conclusion, MagicalRsq-X shows superiority for post-imputation QC and benefits genetic studies by distinguishing well and poorly imputed lower-frequency variants.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a well-described condition in which ~80% of cases have a genetic explanation, while the genetic basis of sporadic cystic kidney disease in adults remains unclear in ~30% of cases. This study aimed to identify novel genes associated with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in patients with sporadic cystic kidney disease in which a clear genetic change was not identified in established genes. A next-generation sequencing panel analyzed known genes related to renal cysts in 118 sporadic cases, followed by whole-genome sequencing on 47 unrelated individuals without identified candidate variants. Three male patients were found to have rare missense variants in the X-linked gene Cilia And Flagella Associated Protein 47 (CFAP47). CFAP47 was expressed in primary cilia of human renal tubules, and knockout mice exhibited vacuolation of tubular cells and tubular dilation, providing evidence that CFAP47 is a causative gene involved in cyst formation. This discovery of CFAP47 as a newly identified gene associated with PKD, displaying X-linked inheritance, emphasizes the need for further cases to understand the role of CFAP47 in PKD.

Abstract
Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is an autosomal recessive inflammatory syndrome that manifests as an early-onset encephalopathy with both neurologic and extraneurologic clinical findings. AGS has been associated with pathogenic variants in nine genes: TREX1, RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, RNASEH2A, SAMHD1, ADAR, IFIH1, LSM11, and RNU7-1. Diagnosis is established by clinical findings (encephalopathy and acquired microcephaly, intellectual and physical impairments, dystonia, hepatosplenomegaly, sterile pyrexia, and/or chilblains), characteristic abnormalities on cranial CT (calcification of the basal ganglia and white matter) and MRI (leukodystrophic changes), or the identification of pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the known genes. One of the genes associated with AGS, SAMHD1, has also been associated with a spectrum of cerebrovascular diseases, including moyamoya disease (MMD). In this report, we describe a 31-year-old male referred to genetics for MMD since childhood who lacked the hallmark features of AGS patients but was found to have compound heterozygous SAMHD1 variants. He later developed mitral valve insufficiency due to recurrent chordal rupture and ultimately underwent a heart transplant at 37 years of age. Thus, these data suggest that SAMHD1 pathogenic variants can cause MMD without typical AGS symptoms and support that SAMHD1 should be assessed in MMD patients even in the absence of AGS features.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is not known why severe cystic fibrosis (CF) liver disease (CFLD) with portal hypertension occurs in only ~7% of people with CF. We aimed to identify genetic modifiers for severe CFLD to improve understanding of disease mechanisms. APPROACH AND RESULTS Whole-genome sequencing was available in 4082 people with CF with pancreatic insufficiency (n = 516 with severe CFLD; n = 3566 without CFLD). We tested ~15.9 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for association with severe CFLD versus no-CFLD, using pre-modulator clinical phenotypes including (1) genetic variant ( SERPINA1 ; Z allele) previously associated with severe CFLD; (2) candidate SNPs (n = 205) associated with non-CF liver diseases; (3) genome-wide association study of common/rare SNPs; (4) transcriptome-wide association; and (5) gene-level and pathway analyses. The Z allele was significantly associated with severe CFLD ( p = 1.1 × 10 -4 ). No significant candidate SNPs were identified. A genome-wide association study identified genome-wide significant SNPs in 2 loci and 2 suggestive loci. These 4 loci contained genes [significant, PKD1 ( p = 8.05 × 10 -10 ) and FNBP1 ( p = 4.74 × 10 -9 ); suggestive, DUSP6 ( p = 1.51 × 10 -7 ) and ANKUB1 ( p = 4.69 × 10 -7 )] relevant to severe CFLD pathophysiology. The transcriptome-wide association identified 3 genes [ CXCR1 ( p = 1.01 × 10 -6 ) , AAMP ( p = 1.07 × 10 -6 ), and TRBV24 ( p = 1.23 × 10 -5 )] involved in hepatic inflammation and innate immunity. Gene-ranked analyses identified pathways enriched in genes linked to multiple liver pathologies. CONCLUSION These results identify loci/genes associated with severe CFLD that point to disease mechanisms involving hepatic fibrosis, inflammation, innate immune function, vascular pathology, intracellular signaling, actin cytoskeleton and tight junction integrity and mechanisms of hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. These discoveries will facilitate mechanistic studies and the development of therapeutics for severe CFLD.

Abstract
Since the first novel gene discovery for a Mendelian condition was made via exome sequencing (ES), the rapid increase in the number of genes known to underlie Mendelian conditions coupled with the adoption of exome (and more recently, genome) sequencing by diagnostic testing labs has changed the landscape of genomic testing for rare disease. Specifically, many individuals suspected to have a Mendelian condition are now routinely offered clinical ES. This commonly results in a precise genetic diagnosis but frequently overlooks the identification of novel candidate genes. Such candidates are also less likely to be identified in the absence of large-scale gene discovery research programs. Accordingly, clinical laboratories have both the opportunity, and some might argue a responsibility, to contribute to novel gene discovery which should in turn increase the diagnostic yield for many conditions. However, clinical diagnostic laboratories must necessarily balance priorities for throughput, turnaround time, cost efficiency, clinician preferences, and regulatory constraints, and often do not have the infrastructure or resources to effectively participate in either clinical translational or basic genome science research efforts. For these and other reasons, many laboratories have historically refrained from broadly sharing potentially pathogenic variants in novel genes via networks like Matchmaker Exchange, much less reporting such results to ordering providers. Efforts to report such results are further complicated by a lack of guidelines for clinical reporting and interpretation of variants in novel candidate genes. Nevertheless, there are myriad benefits for many stakeholders, including patients/families, clinicians, researchers, if clinical laboratories systematically and routinely identify, share, and report novel candidate genes. To facilitate this change in practice, we developed criteria for triaging, sharing, and reporting novel candidate genes that are most likely to be promptly validated as underlying a Mendelian condition and translated to use in clinical settings.

Abstract
Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) is the most common adult congenital heart lesion with an estimated population prevalence of 1%. We hypothesize that early onset complications of BAV (EBAV) are driven by specific impactful genetic variants. We analyzed whole exome sequences (WES) to identify rare coding variants that contribute to BAV disease in 215 EBAV families. Predicted pathogenic variants of causal genes were present in 111 EBAV families (51% of total), including genes that cause BAV (8%) or heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD, 17%). After appropriate filtration, we also identified 93 variants in 26 novel genes that are associated with autosomal dominant congenital heart phenotypes, including recurrent deleterious variation of FBN2, MYH6, channelopathy genes, and type 1 and 5 collagen genes. These findings confirm our hypothesis that unique rare genetic variants contribute to early onset complications of BAV disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the genetic etiology of Lisch epithelial corneal dystrophy (LECD). DESIGN Multicenter cohort study. METHODS A discovery cohort of 27 individuals with LECD from 17 families, including 7 affected members from the original LECD family, 6 patients from 2 new families and 14 simplex cases, was recruited. A cohort of 6 individuals carrying a pathogenic MCOLN1 (mucolipin 1) variant was reviewed for signs of LECD. Next-generation sequencing or targeted Sanger sequencing were used in all patients to identify pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants and penetrance of variants. RESULTS Nine rare heterozygous MCOLN1 variants were identified in 23 of 27 affected individuals from 13 families. The truncating nature of 7 variants and functional testing of 1 missense variant indicated that they result in MCOLN1 haploinsufficiency. Importantly, in the homozygous and compound-heterozygous state, 4 of 9 LECD-associated variants cause the rare lysosomal storage disorder mucolipidosis IV (MLIV). Autosomal recessive MLIV is a systemic disease and comprises neurodegeneration as well as corneal opacity of infantile-onset with epithelial autofluorescent lysosomal inclusions. However, the 6 parents of 3 patients with MLIV confirmed to carry pathogenic MCOLN1 variants did not have the LECD phenotype, suggesting MCOLN1 haploinsufficiency may be associated with reduced penetrance and variable expressivity. CONCLUSIONS MCOLN1 haploinsufficiency is the major cause of LECD. Based on the overlapping clinical features of corneal epithelial cells with autofluorescent inclusions reported in both LECD and MLIV, it is concluded that some carriers of MCOLN1 haploinsufficiency-causing variants present with LECD.

Abstract
Intellectual disability (ID) and retinal dystrophy (RD) are the frequently found features of multiple syndromes involving additional systemic manifestations. Here, we studied a family with four members presenting severe ID and retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Using genome wide genotyping and exome sequencing, we identified a nonsense variant c.747 C > A (p.Tyr249Ter) in exon 7 of AGPAT3 which co-segregates with the disease phenotype. Western blot analysis of overexpressed WT and mutant AGPAT3 in HEK293T cells showed the absence of AGPAT3, suggesting instability of the truncated protein. Knockdown of Agpat3 in the embryonic mouse brain caused marked deficits in neuronal migration, strongly suggesting that reduced expression of AGPAT3 affects neuronal function. Altogether, our data indicates that AGPAT3 activity is essential for neuronal functioning and loss of its activity probably causes intellectual disability and retinitis pigmentosa (IDRP) syndrome.

Abstract
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a severe congenital heart defect (CHD) characterized by hypoplasia of the left ventricle and aorta along with stenosis or atresia of the aortic and mitral valves. HLHS represents only ∼4%-8% of all CHDs but accounts for ∼25% of deaths. HLHS is an isolated defect (i.e., iHLHS) in 70% of families, the vast majority of which are simplex. Despite intense investigation, the genetic basis of iHLHS remains largely unknown. We performed exome sequencing on 331 families with iHLHS aggregated from four independent cohorts. A Mendelian-model-based analysis demonstrated that iHLHS was not due to single, large-effect alleles in genes previously reported to underlie iHLHS or CHD in >90% of families in this cohort. Gene-based association testing identified increased risk for iHLHS associated with variation in CAPN2 (p = 1.8 × 10-5), encoding a protein involved in functional adhesion. Functional validation studies in a vertebrate animal model (Xenopus laevis) confirmed CAPN2 is essential for cardiac ventricle morphogenesis and that in vivo loss of calpain function causes hypoplastic ventricle phenotypes and suggest that human CAPN2707C>T and CAPN21112C>T variants, each found in multiple individuals with iHLHS, are hypomorphic alleles. Collectively, our findings show that iHLHS is typically not a Mendelian condition, demonstrate that CAPN2 variants increase risk of iHLHS, and identify a novel pathway involved in HLHS pathogenesis.

Abstract
Objectives Transcript sequencing of patient-derived samples has been shown to improve the diagnostic yield for solving cases of suspected Mendelian conditions, yet the added benefit of full-length long-read transcript sequencing is largely unexplored. Methods We applied short-read and full-length transcript sequencing and mitochondrial functional studies to a patient-derived fibroblast cell line from an individual with neuropathy that previously lacked a molecular diagnosis. Results We identified an intronic homozygous MFN2 c.600-31T>G variant that disrupts the branch point critical for intron 6 splicing. Full-length long-read isoform complementary DNA (cDNA) sequencing after treatment with a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) inhibitor revealed that this variant creates 5 distinct altered splicing transcripts. All 5 altered splicing transcripts have disrupted open reading frames and are subject to NMD. Furthermore, a patient-derived fibroblast line demonstrated abnormal lipid droplet formation, consistent with MFN2 dysfunction. Although correctly spliced full-length MFN2 transcripts are still produced, this branch point variant results in deficient MFN2 levels and autosomal recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2A (CMT2A). Discussion This case highlights the utility of full-length isoform sequencing for characterizing the molecular mechanism of undiagnosed rare diseases and expands our understanding of the genetic basis for CMT2A.

Abstract
Resolving the molecular basis of a Mendelian condition (MC) remains challenging owing to the diverse mechanisms by which genetic variants cause disease. To address this, we developed a synchronized long-read genome, methylome, epigenome, and transcriptome sequencing approach, which enables accurate single-nucleotide, insertion-deletion, and structural variant calling and diploid de novo genome assembly, and permits the simultaneous elucidation of haplotype-resolved CpG methylation, chromatin accessibility, and full-length transcript information in a single long-read sequencing run. Application of this approach to an Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) participant with a chromosome X;13 balanced translocation of uncertain significance revealed that this translocation disrupted the functioning of four separate genes (NBEA, PDK3, MAB21L1, and RB1) previously associated with single-gene MCs. Notably, the function of each gene was disrupted via a distinct mechanism that required integration of the four 'omes' to resolve. These included nonsense-mediated decay, fusion transcript formation, enhancer adoption, transcriptional readthrough silencing, and inappropriate X chromosome inactivation of autosomal genes. Overall, this highlights the utility of synchronized long-read multi-omic profiling for mechanistically resolving complex phenotypes.

Abstract
Moyamoya disease, a cerebrovascular disease leading to strokes in children and young adults, is characterized by progressive occlusion of the distal internal carotid arteries and the formation of collateral vessels. Altered genes play a prominent role in the aetiology of moyamoya disease, but a causative gene is not identified in the majority of cases. Exome sequencing data from 151 individuals from 84 unsolved families were analysed to identify further genes for moyamoya disease, then candidate genes assessed in additional cases (150 probands). Two families had the same rare variant in ANO1, which encodes a calcium-activated chloride channel, anoctamin-1. Haplotype analyses found the families were related, and ANO1 p.Met658Val segregated with moyamoya disease in the family with an LOD score of 3.3. Six additional ANO1 rare variants were identified in moyamoya disease families. The ANO1 rare variants were assessed using patch-clamp recordings, and the majority of variants, including ANO1 p.Met658Val, displayed increased sensitivity to intracellular Ca2+. Patients harbouring these gain-of-function ANO1 variants had classic features of moyamoya disease, but also had aneurysm, stenosis and/or occlusion in the posterior circulation. Our studies support that ANO1 gain-of-function pathogenic variants predispose to moyamoya disease and are associated with unique involvement of the posterior circulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized in stages: never (prior to first positive culture) to incident (first positive culture) to chronic. The association of Pa infection stage with lung function trajectory is poorly understood and the impact of age on this association has not been examined. We hypothesized that FEV1 decline would be slowest prior to Pa infection, intermediate after incident infection and greatest after chronic Pa infection. METHODS Participants in a large US prospective cohort study diagnosed with CF prior to age 3 contributed data through the U.S. CF Patient Registry. Cubic spline linear mixed effects models were used to evaluate the longitudinal association of Pa stage (never, incident, chronic using 4 different definitions) with FEV1 adjusted for relevant covariates. Models contained interaction terms between age and Pa stage. RESULTS 1,264 subjects born 1992-2006 provided a median 9.5 (IQR 0.25 to 15.75) years of follow up through 2017. 89% developed incident Pa; 39-58% developed chronic Pa depending on the definition. Compared to never Pa, incident Pa infection was associated with greater annual FEV1 decline and chronic Pa infection with the greatest FEV1 decline. The most rapid FEV1 decline and strongest association with Pa infection stage was seen in early adolescence (ages 12-15). CONCLUSIONS Annual FEV1 decline worsens significantly with each Pa infection stage in children with CF. Our findings suggest that measures to prevent chronic infection, particularly during the high-risk period of early adolescence, could mitigate FEV1 decline and improve survival.

Abstract
Despite advances in clinical genetic testing, including the introduction of exome sequencing (ES), more than 50% of individuals with a suspected Mendelian condition lack a precise molecular diagnosis. Clinical evaluation is increasingly undertaken by specialists outside of clinical genetics, often occurring in a tiered fashion and typically ending after ES. The current diagnostic rate reflects multiple factors, including technical limitations, incomplete understanding of variant pathogenicity, missing genotype-phenotype associations, complex gene-environment interactions, and reporting differences between clinical labs. Maintaining a clear understanding of the rapidly evolving landscape of diagnostic tests beyond ES, and their limitations, presents a challenge for non-genetics professionals. Newer tests, such as short-read genome or RNA sequencing, can be challenging to order, and emerging technologies, such as optical genome mapping and long-read DNA sequencing, are not available clinically. Furthermore, there is no clear guidance on the next best steps after inconclusive evaluation. Here, we review why a clinical genetic evaluation may be negative, discuss questions to be asked in this setting, and provide a framework for further investigation, including the advantages and disadvantages of new approaches that are nascent in the clinical sphere. We present a guide for the next best steps after inconclusive molecular testing based upon phenotype and prior evaluation, including when to consider referral to research consortia focused on elucidating the underlying cause of rare unsolved genetic disorders.

Abstract
GATA zinc finger domain containing 2A (GATAD2A) is a subunit of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex. NuRD is known to regulate gene expression during neural development and other processes. The NuRD complex modulates chromatin status through histone deacetylation and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling activities. Several neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) have been previously linked to variants in other components of NuRD's chromatin remodeling subcomplex (NuRDopathies). We identified five individuals with features of an NDD that possessed de novo autosomal dominant variants in GATAD2A. Core features in affected individuals include global developmental delay, structural brain defects, and craniofacial dysmorphology. These GATAD2A variants are predicted to affect protein dosage and/or interactions with other NuRD chromatin remodeling subunits. We provide evidence that a GATAD2A missense variant disrupts interactions of GATAD2A with CHD3, CHD4, and CHD5. Our findings expand the list of NuRDopathies and provide evidence that GATAD2A variants are the genetic basis of a previously uncharacterized developmental disorder.

Abstract
Contraction of the human sarcomere is the result of interactions between myosin cross-bridges and actin filaments. Pathogenic variants in genes such as MYH7, TPM1, and TNNI3 that encode parts of the cardiac sarcomere cause muscle diseases that affect the heart, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In contrast, pathogenic variants in homologous genes such as MYH2, TPM2, and TNNI2 that encode parts of the skeletal muscle sarcomere cause muscle diseases affecting skeletal muscle, such as distal arthrogryposis (DA) syndromes and skeletal myopathies. To date, there have been few reports of genes (e.g., MYH7) encoding sarcomeric proteins in which the same pathogenic variant affects skeletal and cardiac muscle. Moreover, none of the known genes underlying DA have been found to contain pathogenic variants that also cause cardiac abnormalities. We report five families with DA because of heterozygous missense variants in the gene actin, alpha, cardiac muscle 1 (ACTC1). ACTC1 encodes a highly conserved actin that binds to myosin in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Pathogenic variants in ACTC1 have been found previously to underlie atrial septal defect, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and left ventricular noncompaction. Our discovery delineates a new DA condition because of variants in ACTC1 and suggests that some functions of ACTC1 are shared in cardiac and skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The etiology of biliary atresia (BA) is unknown, but recent studies suggest a role for rare protein-altering variants (PAVs). Exome sequencing data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study on 54 child-parent trios, one child-mother duo, and 1513 parents of children with other birth defects were analyzed. Most (91%) cases were isolated BA. We performed (1) a trio-based analysis to identify rare de novo, homozygous, and compound heterozygous PAVs and (2) a case-control analysis using a sequence kernel-based association test to identify genes enriched with rare PAVs. While we replicated previous findings on PKD1L1, our results do not suggest that recurrent de novo PAVs play important roles in BA susceptibility. In fact, our finding in NOTCH2, a disease gene associated with Alagille syndrome, highlights the difficulty in BA diagnosis. Notably, IFRD2 has been implicated in other gastrointestinal conditions and warrants additional study. Overall, our findings strengthen the hypothesis that the etiology of BA is complex.

Abstract
SLC1A4 is a trimeric neutral amino acid transporter essential for shuttling L-serine from astrocytes into neurons. Individuals with biallelic variants in SLC1A4 are known to have spastic tetraplegia, thin corpus callosum, and progressive microcephaly (SPATCCM) syndrome, but individuals with heterozygous variants are not thought to have disease. We identify an 8-year-old patient with global developmental delay, spasticity, epilepsy, and microcephaly who has a de novo heterozygous three amino acid duplication in SLC1A4 (L86_M88dup). We demonstrate that L86_M88dup causes a dominant-negative N-glycosylation defect of SLC1A4, which in turn reduces the plasma membrane localization of SLC1A4 and the transport rate of SLC1A4 for L-serine.

Abstract
Rationale: Lung disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in persons with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Variability in CF lung disease has substantial non-CFTR (CF transmembrane conductance regulator) genetic influence. Identification of genetic modifiers has prognostic and therapeutic importance. Objectives: Identify genetic modifier loci and genes/pathways associated with pulmonary disease severity. Methods: Whole-genome sequencing data on 4,248 unique pwCF with pancreatic insufficiency and lung function measures were combined with imputed genotypes from an additional 3,592 patients with pancreatic insufficiency from the United States, Canada, and France. This report describes association of approximately 15.9 million SNPs using the quantitative Kulich normal residual mortality-adjusted (KNoRMA) lung disease phenotype in 7,840 pwCF using premodulator lung function data. Measurements and Main Results: Testing included common and rare SNPs, transcriptome-wide association, gene-level, and pathway analyses. Pathway analyses identified novel associations with genes that have key roles in organ development, and we hypothesize that these genes may relate to dysanapsis and/or variability in lung repair. Results confirmed and extended previous genome-wide association study findings. These whole-genome sequencing data provide finely mapped genetic information to support mechanistic studies. No novel primary associations with common single variants or rare variants were found. Multilocus effects at chr5p13 (SLC9A3/CEP72) and chr11p13 (EHF/APIP) were identified. Variant effect size estimates at associated loci were consistently ordered across the cohorts, indicating possible age or birth cohort effects. Conclusions: This premodulator genomic, transcriptomic, and pathway association study of 7,840 pwCF will facilitate mechanistic and postmodulator genetic studies and the development of novel therapeutics for CF lung disease.

Abstract
Rationale and Objectives: Up to 20% of idiopathic interstitial lung disease is familial, referred to as familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF). An integrated analysis of FPF genetic risk was performed by comprehensively evaluating for genetic rare variants (RVs) in a large cohort of FPF kindreds. Methods: Whole-exome sequencing and/or candidate gene sequencing from affected individuals in 569 FPF kindreds was performed, followed by cosegregation analysis in large kindreds, gene burden analysis, gene-based risk scoring, cell-type enrichment analysis, and coexpression network construction. Measurements and Main Results: It was found that 14.9-23.4% of genetic risk in kindreds could be explained by RVs in genes previously linked to FPF, predominantly telomere-related genes. New candidate genes were identified in a small number of families-including SYDE1, SERPINB8, GPR87, and NETO1-and tools were developed for evaluation and prioritization of RV-containing genes across kindreds. Several pathways were enriched for RV-containing genes in FPF, including focal adhesion and mitochondrial complex I assembly. By combining single-cell transcriptomics with prioritized candidate genes, expression of RV-containing genes was discovered to be enriched in smooth muscle cells, type II alveolar epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. Conclusions: In the most comprehensive FPF genetic study to date, the prevalence of RVs in known FPF-related genes was defined, and new candidate genes and pathways relevant to FPF were identified. However, new RV-containing genes shared across multiple kindreds were not identified, thereby suggesting that heterogeneous genetic variants involving a variety of genes and pathways mediate genetic risk in most FPF kindreds.

Abstract
The use of genetic and genomic technology to infer ancestry is commonplace in a variety of contexts, particularly in biomedical research and for direct-to-consumer genetic testing. In 2013 and 2015, two roundtables engaged a diverse group of stakeholders toward the development of guidelines for inferring genetic ancestry in academia and industry. This report shares the stakeholder groups' work and provides an analysis of, commentary on, and views from the groundbreaking and sustained dialogue. We describe the engagement processes and the stakeholder groups' resulting statements and proposed guidelines. The guidelines focus on five key areas: application of genetic ancestry inference, assumptions and confidence/laboratory and statistical methods, terminology and population identifiers, impact on individuals and groups, and communication or translation of genetic ancestry inferences. We delineate the terms and limitations of the guidelines and discuss their critical role in advancing the development and implementation of best practices for inferring genetic ancestry and reporting the results. These efforts should inform both governmental regulation and self-regulation.

Abstract
Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) is a rare limb abnormality with clefting of the fingers and/or toes. For many individuals, the genetic etiology is unknown. Through whole-exome and targeted sequencing, we detected three novel variants in a gene encoding a transcription factor, PRDM1, that arose de novo in families with SHFM or segregated with the phenotype. PRDM1 is required for limb development; however, its role is not well understood and it is unclear how the PRDM1 variants affect protein function. Using transient and stable overexpression rescue experiments in zebrafish, we show that the variants disrupt the proline/serine-rich and DNA-binding zinc finger domains, resulting in a dominant-negative effect. Through gene expression assays, RNA sequencing, and CUT&RUN in isolated pectoral fin cells, we demonstrate that Prdm1a directly binds to and regulates genes required for fin induction, outgrowth and anterior/posterior patterning, such as fgfr1a, dlx5a, dlx6a and smo. Taken together, these results improve our understanding of the role of PRDM1 in the limb gene regulatory network and identified novel PRDM1 variants that link to SHFM in humans.

Abstract
Contraction of the human sarcomere is the result of interactions between myosin cross-bridges and actin filaments. Pathogenic variants in genes such as MYH7 , TPM1 , and TNNI3 that encode parts of the cardiac sarcomere cause muscle diseases that affect the heart, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In contrast, pathogenic variants in homologous genes MYH2 , TPM2 , and TNNI2 , that encode parts of the skeletal muscle sarcomere, cause muscle diseases affecting skeletal muscle, such as the distal arthrogryposis (DA) syndromes and skeletal myopathies. To date, there have been few reports of genes (e.g., MYH7 ) encoding sarcomeric proteins in which the same pathogenic variant affects both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Moreover, none of the known genes underlying DA have been found to contain mutations that also cause cardiac abnormalities. We report five families with DA due to heterozygous missense variants in the gene actin, alpha, cardiac muscle 1 ( ACTC1 ). ACTC1 encodes a highly conserved actin that binds to myosin in both cardiac and skeletal muscle. Mutations in ACTC1 have previously been found to underlie atrial septal defect, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and left ventricular noncompaction. Our discovery delineates a new DA condition due to mutations in ACTC1 and suggests that some functions of actin, alpha, cardiac muscle 1 are shared in cardiac and skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Exome sequencing of genes associated with heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) failed to identify a pathogenic variant in a large family with Marfan syndrome (MFS). A genome-wide linkage analysis for thoracic aortic disease identified a peak at 15q21.1, and genome sequencing identified a novel deep intronic FBN1 variant that segregated with thoracic aortic disease in the family (LOD score 2.7) and was predicted to alter splicing. RT-PCR and bulk RNA sequencing of RNA harvested from fibroblasts explanted from the affected proband revealed an insertion of a pseudoexon between exons 13 and 14 of the FBN1 transcript, predicted to lead to nonsense mediated decay (NMD). Treating the fibroblasts with an NMD inhibitor, cycloheximide, greatly improved the detection of the pseudoexon-containing transcript. Family members with the FBN1 variant had later onset aortic events and fewer MFS systemic features than typical for individuals with haploinsufficiency of FBN1. Variable penetrance of the phenotype and negative genetic testing in MFS families should raise the possibility of deep intronic FBN1 variants and the need for additional molecular studies.

Abstract
Objectives Transcript sequencing of patient derived samples has been shown to improve the diagnostic yield for solving cases of likely Mendelian disorders, yet the added benefit of full-length long-read transcript sequencing is largely unexplored. Methods We applied short-read and full-length isoform cDNA sequencing and mitochondrial functional studies to a patient-derived fibroblast cell line from an individual with neuropathy that previously lacked a molecular diagnosis. Results We identified an intronic homozygous MFN2 c.600-31T>G variant that disrupts a branch point critical for intron 6 spicing. Full-length long-read isoform cDNA sequencing after treatment with a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) inhibitor revealed that this variant creates five distinct altered splicing transcripts. All five altered splicing transcripts have disrupted open reading frames and are subject to NMD. Furthermore, a patient-derived fibroblast line demonstrated abnormal lipid droplet formation, consistent with MFN2 dysfunction. Although correctly spliced full-length MFN2 transcripts are still produced, this branch point variant results in deficient MFN2 protein levels and autosomal recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2A (CMT2A). Discussion This case highlights the utility of full-length isoform sequencing for characterizing the molecular mechanism of undiagnosed rare diseases and expands our understanding of the genetic basis for CMT2A.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sub-Saharan Africa bears the highest burden of epilepsy worldwide. A presumed proportion is genetic, but this etiology is buried under the burden of infections and perinatal insults in a setting of limited awareness and few options for testing. Children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are most severely affected by this diagnostic gap in Africa, because the rate of actionable findings is highest in DEE-associated genes. METHODS We tested 234 genetically naive South African children diagnosed with/possible DEE using gene panels, exome sequencing, and chromosomal microarray. Statistical comparison of electroclinical features in children with and children without candidate variants was performed to identify characteristics most likely predictive of a positive genetic finding. RESULTS Of the 41 (of 234) children with likely/pathogenic variants, 26 had variants supporting precision therapy. Multivariate regression modeling highlighted neonatal or infantile-onset seizures and movement abnormalities as predictive of a positive genetic finding. We used this, coupled with an emphasis on precision medicine outcomes, to propose the pragmatic "Think-Genetics" strategy for early recognition of a possible genetic etiology. CONCLUSION Our findings emphasize the importance of an early genetic diagnosis in DEE. We designed the Think-Genetics strategy for early recognition, appropriate interim management, and genetic testing for DEE in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract
Despite advances in clinical genetic testing, including the introduction of exome sequencing (ES), more than 50% of individuals with a suspected Mendelian condition lack a precise molecular diagnosis. Clinical evaluation is increasingly undertaken by specialists outside of clinical genetics, often occurring in a tiered fashion and typically ending after ES. The current diagnostic rate reflects multiple factors, including technical limitations, incomplete understanding of variant pathogenicity, missing genotype-phenotype associations, complex gene-environment interactions, and reporting differences between clinical labs. Maintaining a clear understanding of the rapidly evolving landscape of diagnostic tests beyond ES, and their limitations, presents a challenge for non-genetics professionals. Newer tests, such as short-read genome or RNA sequencing, can be challenging to order and emerging technologies, such as optical genome mapping and long-read DNA or RNA sequencing, are not available clinically. Furthermore, there is no clear guidance on the next best steps after inconclusive evaluation. Here, we review why a clinical genetic evaluation may be negative, discuss questions to be asked in this setting, and provide a framework for further investigation, including the advantages and disadvantages of new approaches that are nascent in the clinical sphere. We present a guide for the next best steps after inconclusive molecular testing based upon phenotype and prior evaluation, including when to consider referral to a consortium such as GREGoR, which is focused on elucidating the underlying cause of rare unsolved genetic disorders.

Abstract
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is the gold standard for fully characterizing genetic variation but is still prohibitively expensive for large samples. To reduce costs, many studies sequence only a subset of individuals or genomic regions, and genotype imputation is used to infer genotypes for the remaining individuals or regions without sequencing data. However, not all variants can be well imputed, and the current state-of-the-art imputation quality metric, denoted as standard Rsq, is poorly calibrated for lower-frequency variants. Here, we propose MagicalRsq, a machine-learning-based method that integrates variant-level imputation and population genetics statistics, to provide a better calibrated imputation quality metric. Leveraging WGS data from the Cystic Fibrosis Genome Project (CFGP), and whole-exome sequence data from UK BioBank (UKB), we performed comprehensive experiments to evaluate the performance of MagicalRsq compared to standard Rsq for partially sequenced studies. We found that MagicalRsq aligns better with true R2 than standard Rsq in almost every situation evaluated, for both European and African ancestry samples. For example, when applying models trained from 1,992 CFGP sequenced samples to an independent 3,103 samples with no sequencing but TOPMed imputation from array genotypes, MagicalRsq, compared to standard Rsq, achieved net gains of 1.4 million rare, 117k low-frequency, and 18k common variants, where net gains were gained numbers of correctly distinguished variants by MagicalRsq over standard Rsq. MagicalRsq can serve as an improved post-imputation quality metric and will benefit downstream analysis by better distinguishing well-imputed variants from those poorly imputed. MagicalRsq is freely available on GitHub.

Abstract
Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop complications of the gastrointestinal tract influenced by genetic variants outside of CFTR. Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is a distinct form of diabetes with a variable age of onset that occurs frequently in individuals with CF, while meconium ileus (MI) is a severe neonatal intestinal obstruction affecting ∼20% of newborns with CF. CFRD and MI are slightly correlated traits with previous evidence of overlap in their genetic architectures. To better understand the genetic commonality between CFRD and MI, we used whole-genome-sequencing data from the CF Genome Project to perform genome-wide association. These analyses revealed variants at 11 loci (6 not previously identified) that associated with MI and at 12 loci (5 not previously identified) that associated with CFRD. Of these, variants at SLC26A9, CEBPB, and PRSS1 associated with both traits; variants at SLC26A9 and CEBPB increased risk for both traits, while variants at PRSS1, the higher-risk alleles for CFRD, conferred lower risk for MI. Furthermore, common and rare variants within the SLC26A9 locus associated with MI only or CFRD only. As expected, different loci modify risk of CFRD and MI; however, a subset exhibit pleiotropic effects indicating etiologic and mechanistic overlap between these two otherwise distinct complications of CF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Club cell secretory protein (CC16) exerts anti-inflammatory functions in lung disease. We sought to determine the relation of serum CC16 deficits and genetic variants that control serum CC16 to lung function among children with cystic fibrosis (CF). METHODS We used longitudinal data from CF children (EPIC Study) with no positive cultures for Pseudomonas aeruginosa prior to enrollment. Circulating levels of CC16 and an inflammatory score (generated from CRP, SAA, calprotectin, G-CSF) were compared between participants with the lowest and highest FEV1 levels in adolescence (LLF and HLF groups, respectively; N = 130-per-group). Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the SCGB1A1, EHF-APIP loci were tested for association with circulating CC16 and with decline of FEV1 and FEV1/FVC% predicted levels between ages 7-16 using mixed models. RESULTS Compared with the HLF group, the LLF group had lower levels of CC16 (geometric means: 8.2 vs 6.5 ng/ml, respectively; p = 0.0002) and higher levels of the normalized inflammatory score (-0.21 vs 0.21, p = 0.0007). Participants in the lowest CC16 and highest inflammation tertile had the highest odds for having LLF (p<0.0001 for comparison with participants in the highest CC16 and lowest inflammation tertile). Among seven SNVs associated with circulating CC16, the top SNV rs3741240 was associated with decline of FEV1/FVC and, marginally, FEV1 (p = 0.003 and 0.025, respectively; N = 611 participants, 20,801 lung function observations). CONCLUSIONS Serum CC16 deficits are strongly associated with severity of CF lung disease and their effects are additive with systemic inflammation. The rs3741240 A allele is associated with low circulating CC16 and, possibly, accelerated lung function decline in CF.

Abstract
PURPOSE To summarise the clinical, molecular and biochemical phenotype of mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase-related congenital disorders of glycosylation (MOGS-CDG), which presents with variable clinical manifestations, and to analyse which clinical biochemical assay consistently supports diagnosis in individuals with bi-allelic variants in MOGS. METHODS Phenotypic characterisation was performed through an international and multicentre collaboration. Genetic testing was done by exome sequencing and targeted arrays. Biochemical assays on serum and urine were performed to delineate the biochemical signature of MOGS-CDG. RESULTS Clinical phenotyping revealed heterogeneity in MOGS-CDG, including neurological, immunological and skeletal phenotypes. Bi-allelic variants in MOGS were identified in 12 individuals from 11 families. The severity in each organ system was variable, without definite genotype correlation. Urine oligosaccharide analysis was consistently abnormal for all affected probands, whereas other biochemical analyses such as serum transferrin analysis was not consistently abnormal. CONCLUSION The clinical phenotype of MOGS-CDG includes multisystemic involvement with variable severity. Molecular analysis, combined with biochemical testing, is important for diagnosis. In MOGS-CDG, urine oligosaccharide analysis via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry can be used as a reliable biochemical test for screening and confirmation of disease.

Abstract
Here we describe MyGene2, Geno2MP, VariantMatcher, and Franklin; databases that provide variant-level information and phenotypic features to researchers, clinicians, healthcare providers and patients. Following the footsteps of the Matchmaker Exchange project that connects exome, genome, and phenotype databases at the gene level, these databases have as one goal to facilitate connection to one another using Data Connect, a standard for discovery and search of biomedical data from the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH).

Abstract
Pathogenic variants in ACTA2, encoding smooth muscle α-actin, predispose to thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections. ACTA2 variants altering arginine 179 predispose to a more severe, multisystemic disease termed smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (SMDS; OMIM 613834). Vascular complications of SMDS include patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) or aortopulmonary window, early-onset thoracic aortic disease (TAD), moyamoya-like cerebrovascular disease, and primary pulmonary hypertension. Patients also have dysfunction of other smooth muscle-dependent systems, including congenital mydriasis, hypotonic bladder, and gut hypoperistalsis. Here, we describe five patients with novel heterozygous ACTA2 missense variants, p.Arg179Gly, p.Met46Arg, p.Thr204Ile, p.Arg39Cys, and p.Ile66Asn, who have clinical complications that align or overlap with SMDS. Patients with the ACTA2 p.Arg179Gly and p.Thr204Ile variants display classic features of SMDS. The patient with the ACTA2 p.Met46Arg variant exhibits exclusively vascular complications of SMDS, including early-onset TAD, PDA, and moyamoya-like cerebrovascular disease. The patient with the ACTA2 p.Ile66Asn variant has an unusual vascular complication, a large fusiform internal carotid artery aneurysm. The patient with the ACTA2 p.Arg39Cys variant has pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary complications of SMDS but no vascular manifestations. Identifying pathogenic ACTA2 variants associated with features of SMDS is critical for aggressive surveillance and management of vascular and nonvascular complications and delineating the molecular pathogenesis of SMDS.

Abstract
Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is an autosomal dominant disorder with febrile or afebrile seizures that exhibits phenotypic variability. Only a few variants in SCN1A have been previously characterized for GEFS+, in Latin American populations where studies on the genetic and phenotypic spectrum of GEFS+ are scarce. We evaluated members in two multi-generational Colombian Paisa families whose affected members present with classic GEFS+. Exome and Sanger sequencing were used to detect the causal variants in these families. In each of these families, we identified variants in SCN1A causing GEFS+ with incomplete penetrance. In Family 047, we identified a heterozygous variant (c.3530C > G; p.(Pro1177Arg)) that segregates with GEFS+ in 15 affected individuals. In Family 167, we identified a previously unreported variant (c.725A > G; p.(Gln242Arg)) that segregates with the disease in a family with four affected members. Both variants are located in a cytoplasmic loop region in SCN1A and based on our findings the variants are classified as pathogenic and likely pathogenic, respectively. Our results expand the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum associated with SCN1A variants and will aid in improving molecular diagnostics and counseling in Latin American and other populations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mendelian disease genomic research has undergone a massive transformation over the past decade. With increasing availability of exome and genome sequencing, the role of Mendelian research has expanded beyond data collection, sequencing, and analysis to worldwide data sharing and collaboration. METHODS Over the past 10 years, the National Institutes of Health-supported Centers for Mendelian Genomics (CMGs) have played a major role in this research and clinical evolution. RESULTS We highlight the cumulative gene discoveries facilitated by the program, biomedical research leveraged by the approach, and the larger impact on the research community. Beyond generating a list of gene-phenotype relationships and participating in widespread data sharing, the CMGs have created resources, tools, and training for the larger community to foster understanding of genes and genome variation. The CMGs have participated in a wide range of data sharing activities, including deposition of all eligible CMG data into the Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL), sharing candidate genes through the Matchmaker Exchange and the CMG website, and sharing variants in Genotypes to Mendelian Phenotypes (Geno2MP) and VariantMatcher. CONCLUSION The work is far from complete; strengthening communication between research and clinical realms, continued development and sharing of knowledge and tools, and improving access to richly characterized data sets are all required to diagnose the remaining molecularly undiagnosed patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sacral agenesis (SA) consists of partial or complete absence of the caudal end of the spine and often presents with additional birth defects. Several studies have examined gene variants for syndromic forms of SA, but only one has examined exomes of children with non-syndromic SA. METHODS Using buccal cell specimens from families of children with non-syndromic SA, exomes of 28 child-parent trios (eight with and 20 without a maternal diagnosis of pregestational diabetes) and two child-father duos (neither with diagnosis of maternal pregestational diabetes) were exome sequenced. RESULTS Three children had heterozygous missense variants in ID1 (Inhibitor of DNA Binding 1), with CADD scores >20 (top 1% of deleterious variants in the genome); two children inherited the variant from their fathers and one from the child's mother. Rare missense variants were also detected in PDZD2 (PDZ Domain Containing 2; N = 1) and SPTBN5 (Spectrin Beta, Non-erythrocytic 5; N = 2), two genes previously suggested to be associated with SA etiology. Examination of variants with autosomal recessive and X-linked recessive inheritance identified five and two missense variants, respectively. Compound heterozygous variants were identified in several genes. In addition, 12 de novo variants were identified, all in different genes in different children. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting a possible association between ID1 and non-syndromic SA. Although maternal pregestational diabetes has been strongly associated with SA, the missense variants in ID1 identified in two of three children were paternally inherited. These findings add to the knowledge of gene variants associated with non-syndromic SA and provide data for future studies.

Abstract
Loss-of-function variants in PHD Finger Protein 8 (PHF8) cause Siderius X-linked intellectual disability (ID) syndrome, hereafter called PHF8-XLID. PHF8 is a histone demethylase that is important for epigenetic regulation of gene expression. PHF8-XLID is an under-characterized disorder with only five previous reports describing different PHF8 predicted loss-of-function variants in eight individuals. Features of PHF8-XLID include ID and craniofacial dysmorphology. In this report we present 16 additional individuals with PHF8-XLID from 11 different families of diverse ancestry. We also present five individuals from four different families who have ID and a variant of unknown significance in PHF8 with no other explanatory variant in another gene. All affected individuals exhibited developmental delay and all but two had borderline to severe ID. Of the two who did not have ID, one had dyscalculia and the other had mild learning difficulties. Craniofacial findings such as hypertelorism, microcephaly, elongated face, ptosis, and mild facial asymmetry were found in some affected individuals. Orofacial clefting was seen in three individuals from our cohort, suggesting that this feature is less common than previously reported. Autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which were not previously emphasized in PHF8-XLID, were frequently observed in affected individuals. This series expands the clinical phenotype of this rare ID syndrome caused by loss of PHF8 function.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe genetic disorder that can cause multiple comorbidities affecting the lungs, the pancreas, the luminal digestive system and beyond. In our previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we genotyped approximately 8,000 CF samples using a mixture of different genotyping platforms. More recently, the Cystic Fibrosis Genome Project (CFGP) performed deep (approximately 30×) whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 5,095 samples to better understand the genetic mechanisms underlying clinical heterogeneity among patients with CF. For mixtures of GWAS array and WGS data, genotype imputation has proven effective in increasing effective sample size. Therefore, we first performed imputation for the approximately 8,000 CF samples with GWAS array genotype using the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) freeze 8 reference panel. Our results demonstrate that TOPMed can provide high-quality imputation for patients with CF, boosting genomic coverage from approximately 0.3–4.2 million genotyped markers to approximately 11–43 million well-imputed markers, and significantly improving polygenic risk score (PRS) prediction accuracy. Furthermore, we built a CF-specific CFGP reference panel based on WGS data of patients with CF. We demonstrate that despite having approximately 3% the sample size of TOPMed, our CFGP reference panel can still outperform TOPMed when imputing some CF disease-causing variants, likely owing to allele and haplotype differences between patients with CF and general populations. We anticipate our imputed data for 4,656 samples without WGS data will benefit our subsequent genetic association studies, and the CFGP reference panel built from CF WGS samples will benefit other investigators studying CF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive condition caused by variants in each CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) allele. Clinically affected individuals without two identified causal variants typically have no further interrogation of CFTR beyond examination of coding regions, but the development of variant-specific CFTR-targeted treatments necessitates complete understanding of CFTR genotype. METHODS Whole genome sequences were analyzed on 5,058 individuals with CF. We focused on the full CFTR gene sequence and identified disease-causing variants in three phases: screening for known and structural variants; discovery of novel loss-of-function variants; and investigation of remaining variants. RESULTS All variants identified in the first two phases and coding region variants found in the third phase were interpreted according to CFTR2 or ACMG criteria (n = 371; 16 [4.3%] previously unreported). Full gene sequencing enabled delineation of 18 structural variants (large insertions or deletions), of which two were novel. Additional CFTR variants of uncertain effect were found in 76 F508del homozygotes and in 21 individuals with other combinations of CF-causing variants. Both causative variants were identified in 98.1% (n = 4,960) of subjects, an increase of 2.3 percentage points from the 95.8% (n = 4,847) who had a registry- or chart-reported disease-causing CFTR genotype. Of the remaining 98 individuals, 78 carried one variant that has been associated with CF (CF-causing [n = 70] or resulting in varying clinical consequences n = 8]). CONCLUSIONS Complete CFTR gene sequencing in 5,058 individuals with CF identified at least one DNA variant in 99.6% of the cohort that is targetable by current molecular or emerging gene-based therapeutic technologies.

Abstract
Otitis media (OM) is common in young children and can cause hearing loss and speech, language, and developmental delays. OM has high heritability; however, little is known about OM-related molecular and genetic processes. CDHR3 was previously identified as a locus for OM susceptibility, but to date, studies have focused on how the CDHR3 p.Cys529Tyr variant increases epithelial binding of rhinovirus-C and risk for lung or sinus pathology. In order to further delineate a role for CDHR3 in OM, we performed the following: exome sequencing using DNA samples from OM-affected individuals from 257 multi-ethnic families; Sanger sequencing, logistic regression and transmission disequilibrium tests for 407 US trios or probands with OM; 16S rRNA sequencing and analysis for middle ear and nasopharyngeal samples; and single-cell RNA sequencing and differential expression analyses for mouse middle ear. From exome sequence data, we identified a novel pathogenic CDHR3 splice variant that co-segregates with OM in US and Finnish families. Additionally, a frameshift and six missense rare or low-frequency variants were identified in Finnish probands. In US probands, the CDHR3 p.Cys529Tyr variant was associated with the absence of middle ear fluid at surgery and also with increased relative abundance of Lysobacter in the nasopharynx and Streptomyces in the middle ear. Consistent with published data on airway epithelial cells and our RNA-sequence data from human middle ear tissues, Cdhr3 expression is restricted to ciliated epithelial cells of the middle ear and is downregulated after acute OM. Overall, these findings suggest a critical role for CDHR3 in OM susceptibility. KEY MESSAGES: • Novel rare or low-frequency CDHR3 variants putatively confer risk for otitis media. • Pathogenic variant CDHR3 c.1653 + 3G > A was found in nine families with otitis media. • CDHR3 p.Cys529Tyr was associated with lack of effusion and bacterial otopathogens. • Cdhr3 expression was limited to ciliated epithelial cells in mouse middle ear. • Cdhr3 was downregulated 3 h after infection of mouse middle ear.
