From the abstract: " An early genetic diagnosis can guide the time-sensitive treatment of individuals with genetic epilepsies. However, most genetic diagnoses occur long after disease onset. We aimed to identify early clinical features suggestive of genetic diagnoses in individuals with epilepsy through large-scale analysis of full-text electronic medical records (EMR)... We identified 47,774 age-dependent associations of clinical features with genetic etiologies a median of 3.6 years prior to molecular diagnosis. Across all 710 genetic etiologies identified in our cohort, neurodevelopmental differences between 6-9 months increased the likelihood of a later molecular diagnosis fivefold."
From the abstract: "A minority of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are offered genetic testing by their providers or referred for genetics evaluation despite published guidelines and consensus statements supporting genetics-informed care for this population. This study aimed to investigate the ordering habits of providers of different specialties and to additionally assess the diagnostic utility of genetic testing by test type, patient sex, and race and ethnicity.

APOE4 homozygozity represents a distinct genetic form of Alzheimer’s disease
From the abstract: "This study aimed to evaluate the impact of APOE4 homozygosity on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by examining its clinical, pathological and biomarker changes to see whether APOE4 homozygotes constitute a distinct, genetically determined form of AD. Data from the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center and five large cohorts with AD biomarkers were analyzed. The analysis included 3,297 individuals for the pathological study and 10,039 for the clinical study. Findings revealed that almost all APOE4 homozygotes exhibited AD pathology and had significantly higher levels of AD biomarkers from age 55 compared to APOE3 homozygotes. By age 65, nearly all had abnormal amyloid levels in cerebrospinal fluid, and 75% had positive amyloid scans. "
The FDA and Gene Therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
From the article: " DMD is the largest human gene and has 79 exons. This large size creates issues for gene therapies, but also opportunities, because shortened forms of dystrophin can have some ability to preserve muscle function, although less than the full-length dystrophin protein. A less severe and clinically variable form of muscular dystrophy, Becker muscular dystrophy, is due to alterations in DMD that result in variable levels of expression (5%-50% of normal) of a shortened form of dystrophin."
