Supporting undiagnosed participants when clinical genomics studies end.
Halley Meghan C et al. Nature genetics 2022 7

Many large research initiatives have cumulatively enrolled thousands of patients with a range of complex medical issues but no clear genetic etiology. However, it is unclear how researchers, institutions and funders should manage the data and relationships with those participants who remain undiagnosed when these studies end. In this Comment, we outline the current literature relevant to post-study obligations in clinical genomics research and discuss the application of current guidelines to research with undiagnosed participants.

An automated 13.5 hour system for scalable diagnosis and acute management guidance for genetic diseases
MJ Owen et al, Nat Comm, July 26, 2022

While many genetic diseases have effective treatments, they frequently progress rapidly to severe morbidity or mortality if those treatments are not implemented immediately. Since front-line physicians frequently lack familiarity with these diseases, timely molecular diagnosis may not improve outcomes. Herein we describe Genome-to-Treatment, an automated, virtual system for genetic disease diagnosis and acute management guidance. Diagnosis is achieved in 13.5?h by expedited whole genome sequencing, with superior analytic performance for structural and copy number variants

Convergence and Divergence of Rare Genetic Disorders on Brain Phenotypes: A Review.
Raznahan Armin et al. JAMA psychiatry 2022 6

Rare genetic disorders modulating gene expression—as exemplified by gene dosage disorders (GDDs)—represent a collectively common set of high-risk factors for neuropsychiatric illness. Research on GDDs is rapidly expanding because these variants have high effect sizes and a known genetic basis. Moreover, the prevalence of recurrent GDDs (encompassing aneuploidies and certain copy number variations) enables genetic-first phenotypic characterization of the same GDD across multiple individuals, thereby offering a unique window into genetic influences on the human brain and behavior.

Reanalysis of exome negative patients with rare disease: a pragmatic workflow for diagnostic applications.
Schobers Gaby et al. Genome medicine 2022 6 (1) 66

We find that upon re-evaluation of undiagnosed patients, both reanalysis of existing ES data as well as resequencing strategies are needed to identify additional genetic diagnoses. Importantly, not all patients are routinely re-evaluated in clinical care, prolonging their diagnostic trajectory, unless systematic reanalysis is facilitated. We have translated our observations into considerations for systematic and ad hoc reanalysis in routine genetic care.
