Biallelic variants in DNAH10 are associated with skeletalf developmental abnormalities and ciliary dysfunction
BackgroundPrimary cilia are essential for skeletal development by coordinating key signalling pathways in osteoblasts and chondrocytes. While pathogenic variants in approximately 40 genes have been linked to skeletal ciliopathies, additional causative …

Uterine serous carcinoma and germline genetic testing: patterns of referral, completion and pathogenic variant detection
BackgroundCurrent guidelines recommend consideration of germline genetic testing for patients with uterine serous carcinoma (USC) but real-world data are limited on completion rates of testing and pathogenic variant (PV) identification. This study aime…

Pathogenic mobile element insertion in the MEN1 gene mimicking a deletion in MLPA: characterisation by long-read sequencing
BackgroundMobile element insertions (MEIs) disrupting coding sequences are rare but clinically significant mutations that are often missed by standard next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosoma…

Long-read genome sequencing increases diagnostic yield in a short-read sequencing unsolved developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) cohort
Developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) comprises neurodevelopmental disorders with early-onset seizures and developmental impairment. Despite >900 implicated genes, many patients remain undiagnosed after short-read sequencing (SRS). We assesse…

VHL gene fragment analysis: large inversion detection in Alu region for clinical applications
von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is an autosomal-dominant tumour susceptibility disorder associated with pathogenic germline variants in the VHL gene that put patients at increased risk of developing benign and malignant tumours within various organs. While cur…
