Review of estimates of birth incidence and population prevalence over time and between countries of the rare neurodevelopmental condition Prader-Willi syndrome ...
Background Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) typically follow a single inheritance pattern, but some genes cause disease through both autosomal recessive (AR) and autosomal dominant (AD) patterns, ...
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EPCAM)-associated Lynch syndrome arises from deletions at the 3′-end of EPCAM that disrupt transcriptional termination, generate read-through transcripts and cause ...

2 St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK Background The 2015 American College of Medical Genetics/Association of Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) variant classification ...
Background Expanded genetic screening before conception or during prenatal care can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of heritable fetal diseases. This study aimed to provide a large cohort to ...
Background KBG syndrome is caused by haploinsufficiency of ANKRD11 and is characterised by macrodontia of upper central incisors, distinctive facial features, short stature, skeletal anomalies, ...
Background Our study aimed to establish ‘real-world’ performance and cost-effectiveness of ovarian cancer (OC) surveillance in women with pathogenic germline BRCA1/2 variants who defer risk-reducing ...
Background 17q12 microdeletion and microduplication syndromes present as overlapping, multisystem disorders. We assessed the disease phenotypes of individuals with 17q12 CNV in a population-based ...
This study systematically reviewed the literature on the impact of digital genetics tools on patient care and system efficiencies. MEDLINE and Embase were searched for articles published between ...
Background Identifying genetic disease-susceptible individuals through population screening is considered as a promising approach for disease prevention. DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes including MLH1 ...
Background Although rare missense variants in Mendelian disease genes often cluster in specific regions of proteins, it is unclear how to consider this when evaluating the pathogenicity of a gene or ...
