摘要

This presentation will introduce our current approaches and research in interpreting genomes, especially of newborns for rare disease.  We developed an analysis protocol for individual genome interpretation and used its distinctive features to diagnose numerous clinical cases. We applied the protocol to exomes from newborn patients with undiagnosed primary immune disorders. To yield high quality sets of possible causative variants, we used multiple callers with multi-sample calling and integrated variant annotation, variant filtering, and gene prioritization.
