An optimized variant prioritization process for rare disease diagnostics: recommendations for Exomiser and Genomiser

This paper optimizes variant prioritization parameters for Exomiser and Genomiser to improve diagnostic yield in rare disease cases using WES and WGS data.

Adaptor protein 2 sigma subunit (AP2S1) variants associated with neurodevelopmental disorders

The paper identifies AP2S1 variants linked to neurodevelopmental disorders by showing they impair clathrin-mediated endocytosis and disrupt protein interactions.

De novo coding variants in the AGO1 gene cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with intellectual disability

This study identifies de novo coding variants in the AGO1 gene as a cause of a novel monogenic neurodevelopmental disorder with intellectual disability and associated behavioral features.
