Standardized transcriptome analysis improves rare disease diagnosis in the pan-European Solve-RD consortium

The paper presents a standardized RNA-seq analysis framework for rare disease diagnosis, identifying molecular diagnoses in 7.7% of previously undiagnosed cases.

Comprehensive reanalysis for CNVs in exome sequencing data from unsolved rare disease cases results in new diagnoses

The paper reanalyzes exome sequencing data from rare disease cases to identify previously undetected copy number variants, resulting in diagnoses for 51 families and partial explanations for 34 individuals.

Unravelling undiagnosed rare disease cases by HiFi long-read genome sequencing

The paper uses HiFi long-read sequencing to identify genetic variants in undiagnosed rare disease families, finding novel diagnoses in 13% of cases and candidate variants in 4.3%.

The GA4GH Phenopacket schema: A computable representation of clinical data for precision medicine

The paper introduces the GA4GH Phenopacket schema to standardize the exchange of phenotypic data for precision medicine applications.
