Most of the disease-causing mutations that science has been able to identify so far are located within the exons. Whereas most genetic tests focus on a single gene or on a set number of predetermined genes, whole exome sequencing examines thousands of genes simultaneously.

Development of an Evidence-Based Algorithm in WES-Based Diagnostics
Development of an evidence-based algorithm that optimizes sensitivity and specificity in WES-based diagnostics of a clinically heterogeneous patient population. Sensitivity of whole exome sequencing (WES) is not well-defined. We applied very low thresholds in WES-associated variant calling to also…
