Another new #epilepsy NDD #RareDisease gene 👇👇 Great international @MyGene2 @GeneMatcher collaboration w/ @ingridscheffer @gaetan_lesca @GeneDx @UWCMG and many not on Twitter incl 1st author Yoeri Sleyp, co-sr Hilde Peeters. 🧬🧠🧬
New insights into the link between genetic variants in KLH20 and a neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by ID, seizures, ASD and hyperactivity. #ubiquitin #neurodevelopment bit.ly/3TBtu6t

Deletion of CTCF motifs can lead to a Mendelian disease, acheiropodia (limb truncation). A project we started 10 years ago and spearheaded by the outstanding @AkiUshiki along with numerous other amazing collaborators too long to list here. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Congrats @JulieCVDW @Dohertylab @UWCMG - yet another ciliopathy gene discovery! @HGGAdvances
New! Van De Weghe et al. identify bi-allelic TMEM218 variants in multiple ciliopathies bit.ly/3lWxCxH

Preprint for our newest #RareDisease gene discovery w/@mikebamshad @UWCMG @LabTalbot @debnick. This has been the works for almost SIX years (glad we shared our initial cases on @MyGene2 years ago!) 1/10

Do you think we're approaching the end Mendelian gene discovery? In this month's issue, @bamshadmike, @jxchong & @debnick60 say think again; the end is nowhere in sight bit.ly/2lFDG33
Accepting applications for our 7th annual rare disease/Mendelian analysis workshop this August! Learn how to QC, annotate, and analyze ES/WGS data to discover genes and diagnose #raredisease bit.ly/uwcmgworkshop @aaronquinlan @brent_p

Great for those interested in a high level view of variant interpretation. Once you gotten excited from the Broad course, follow up with our Mendelian analysis course in August and learn how to get your hands dirty with the raw data! :) bit.ly/uwcmgworkshop
Following a successful first run, our Broad CMG/ClinGen course on "Interpreting Genomes for Rare Disease: Variant and Gene Interpretation" will be held again on May 15-16, Cambridge, MA @broadinstitute Early bird registration March 31 - learn more here: bit.ly/2HyyZSD

It’s that time of year again! @UWCMG running our annual Mendelian data analysis workshop. Learn how to go from VCF->gene discovery/diagnosis! apply here: bit.ly/uwcmgworkshop @aaronquinlan @brent_p
Families & patients with #RareDiseases, as well as clinicians & researchers, can use mygene2.org @UWMedicine Center for Mendelian Genomics to connect with each other & help discover causes & diagnoses for rare genetic conditions #RareDiseaseDay @MyGene2 @uwgenome

We’ve hit a bit of a milestone with today’s update! Rare variants & broad HPO profiles for >10,000 individuals from families with rare genetic conditions now shared publicly in @Geno2MP

Amazing work from multiple UW-CMG collaborators including 1 of @hcmefford’s amazing research scientists Amy LaCroix as 1st author. WES, WGS couldn’t find it. Sanger barely worked. Solution=restriction digests & Southern blot?!?!
Our latest! Discovery of pathogenic var "invisible" to exome/genome - recessive trinuc repeat disorder. Fun facts: 1. Mechanism = repeat expansion + methylation 2. Repeat region NOT in ref genome 3. We did a SOUTHERN blot! 4. Repeat is fragile site FRA16A
