De novo genic and copy number variants are enriched in patients with congenital heart disease, particularly those extra-cardiac anomalies. The impact of de damaging on outcomes following cardiac repair is unknown.
Abstract Background The contribution of somatic mosaicism, or genetic mutations arising after oocyte fertilization, to congenital heart disease (CHD) is not well understood. Further, the relationship between mosaicism in blood and cardiovascular tissue has been determined. Methods We developed a new computational method, EM-mosaic (Expectation-Maximization-based detection mosaicism), analyze exome sequences derived primarily from DNA 2530 CHD proband-parent trios. To optimize this we...
Non-coding rare variants (RVs) may contribute to Mendelian disorders but have been challenging study due small sample sizes, genetic heterogeneity and uncertainty about relevant non-coding features. Previous studies identified RVs associated with expression outliers, varying outlier definitions were employed no comprehensive open-source software was developed.We developed Outlier-RV Enrichment (ORE) identify biologically-meaningful RVs. We implemented ORE combining whole-genome sequencing...
Multiple tools have been developed to identify copy number variants (CNVs) from whole exome (WES) and genome sequencing (WGS) data. Current such as XHMM for WES CNVnator WGS CNVs based on changes in read depth. For WGS, other methods include utilizing discordant pairs split reads genome-wide local assembly with Lumpy SvABA, respectively. Here, we introduce a new method deletion trio data the clustering of Mendelian errors (MEs). Using our Error Method (MEM), identified 127 deletions...
