Abstract
Understanding the genomic basis of inherited respiratory disorders can assist in the clinical management of individuals with these rare disorders. We apply whole genome sequencing for the discovery of disease-causing variants in the non-coding regions of known disease genes for two individuals with inherited respiratory disorders. We describe analysis strategies to pinpoint candidate non-coding variants within the non-coding genome and demonstrate aberrant RNA splicing as a result of deep intronic variants in DNAH11 and CFTR. These findings confirm clinical diagnoses of primary ciliary dyskinesia and cystic fibrosis, respectively.
