Whole-genome sequencing in an autism multiplex family
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) represent a group of childhood neurodevelopmental disorders that affect 1 in 88 children in the US. Previous exome sequencing studies on family trios have implicated a role for ...
Identification of rare DNA sequence variants in high-risk autism families and their prevalence in a large case/control population
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background: Genetics clearly plays a major role in the etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), but studies to date are only beginning to characterize the causal genetic variants responsible. Until recently, studies ...
Meta-analysis of Dense Genecentric Association Studies Reveals Common and Uncommon Variants Associated with Height.
(Elsevier, 2011)
Height is a classic complex trait with common variants in a growing list of genes known to contribute to the phenotype. Using a genecentric genotyping array targeted toward cardiovascular-related loci, comprising 49,320 ...

Whole-genome DNA/RNA sequencing identifies truncating mutations in RBCK1 in a novel Mendelian disease with neuromuscular and cardiac involvement
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Whole-exome sequencing has identified the causes of several Mendelian diseases by analyzing multiple
unrelated cases, but it is more challenging to resolve the cause of extremely rare and suspected Mendelian ...
