Q

why is NGS so powerful for diagnosing rare disease

A
  • most rare diseases have a genetic component
  • rare diseases are caused by many different genes
  • rare diseases are caused by many different types of mutations
  • NGS offers a gene-agnostic approach of testing
17
Q

what is NGS specifically powerful at

A

for diagnosing paediatric rate diseases, such as DDs

18
Q

why is NGS powerful at diagnosing DD

A
  • lots of different genes cause overlapping phenotypes
  • reduced reproductive fitness therefore expect ultra-rare variants
  • phenotypes arises early, less likely to be influenced by environmental facts
19
Q

de novo mutations are

A

easy to find

20
Q

recessive diseases are enriched in

A

consanguineous populations
