However, most approaches for studying copy-number variation rely upon uniquely mapping reads to a genome reference and are unable to distinguish among duplicated sequences. Specialized approaches to interrogate specific paralogs are comparatively slow and have a high degree of computational complexity, limiting their effective application to emerging population-scale data sets. We present QuicK-mer2, a self-contained, mapping-free approach that enables the rapid construction of paralog-specific copy-number maps from short-read sequence data. This approach is based on the tabulation of unique k-mer sequences from short-read data sets, and is able to analyze a 20X coverage human genome in approximately 20 min. We applied our approach to newly released sequence data from the 1000 Genomes Project, constructed paralog-specific copy-number maps from 2457 unrelated individuals, and uncovered copy-number variation of paralogous genes. We identify nine genes where none of the analyzed samples have a copy number of two, 92 genes where the majority of samples have a copy number other than two, and describe rare copy number variation effecting multiple genes at the APOBEC3 locus.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32013076?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orange, Dana E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yao, Vicky</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sawicka, Kirsty</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fak, John</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frank, Mayu O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parveen, Salina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blachère, Nathalie E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hale, Caryn</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhang, Fan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raychaudhuri, Soumya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Troyanskaya, Olga G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Darnell, Robert B</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA Identification of PRIME Cells Predicting Rheumatoid Arthritis Flares.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N Engl J Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N Engl J Med</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arthritis, Rheumatoid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">B-Lymphocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fibroblasts</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Flow Cytometry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mesenchymal Stem Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patient Acuity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, RNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surveys and Questionnaires</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Symptom Flare Up</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synovial Fluid</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020 07 16</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">383</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">218-228</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Rheumatoid arthritis, like many inflammatory diseases, is characterized by episodes of quiescence and exacerbation (flares). The molecular events leading to flares are unknown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We established a clinical and technical protocol for repeated home collection of blood in patients with rheumatoid arthritis to allow for longitudinal RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Specimens were obtained from 364 time points during eight flares over a period of 4 years in our index patient, as well as from 235 time points during flares in three additional patients. We identified transcripts that were differentially expressed before flares and compared these with data from synovial single-cell RNA-seq. Flow cytometry and sorted-blood-cell RNA-seq in additional patients were used to validate the findings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Consistent changes were observed in blood transcriptional profiles 1 to 2 weeks before a rheumatoid arthritis flare. B-cell activation was followed by expansion of circulating CD45-CD31-PDPN+ preinflammatory mesenchymal, or PRIME, cells in the blood from patients with rheumatoid arthritis; these cells shared features of inflammatory synovial fibroblasts. Levels of circulating PRIME cells decreased during flares in all 4 patients, and flow cytometry and sorted-cell RNA-seq confirmed the presence of PRIME cells in 19 additional patients with rheumatoid arthritis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Longitudinal genomic analysis of rheumatoid arthritis flares revealed PRIME cells in the blood during the period before a flare and suggested a model in which these cells become activated by B cells in the weeks before a flare and subsequently migrate out of the blood into the synovium.

Although genetic and prenatal non-genetic causes have been described, no systematic analysis has been performed. Here, we present a large-exome sequencing study of Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM) and cerebellar hypoplasia (CBLH). We performed exome sequencing in 282 individuals from 100 families with DWM or CBLH, and we established a molecular diagnosis in 36 of 100 families, with a significantly higher yield for CBLH (51%) than for DWM (16%). The 41 variants impact 27 neurodevelopmental-disorder-associated genes, thus demonstrating that CBLH and DWM are often features of monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders. Though only seven monogenic causes (19%) were identified in more than one individual, neuroimaging review of 131 additional individuals confirmed cerebellar abnormalities in 23 of 27 genetic disorders (85%). Prenatal risk factors were frequently found among individuals without a genetic diagnosis (30 of 64 individuals [47%]). Single-cell RNA sequencing of prenatal human cerebellar tissue revealed gene enrichment in neuronal and vascular cell types; this suggests that defective vasculogenesis may disrupt cerebellar development. Further, de novo gain-of-function variants in PDGFRB, a tyrosine kinase receptor essential for vascular progenitor signaling, were associated with CBLH, and this discovery links genetic and non-genetic etiologies. Our results suggest that genetic defects impact specific cerebellar cell types and implicate abnormal vascular development as a mechanism for cerebellar malformations. We also confirmed a major contribution for non-genetic prenatal factors in individuals with cerebellar abnormalities, substantially influencing diagnostic evaluation and counseling regarding recurrence risk and prognosis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31474318?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Posey, Jennifer E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harel, Tamar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liu, Pengfei</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosenfeld, Jill A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">James, Regis A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coban Akdemir, Zeynep H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walkiewicz, Magdalena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bi, Weimin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xiao, Rui</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ding, Yan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xia, Fan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beaudet, Arthur L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muzny, Donna M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gibbs, Richard A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boerwinkle, Eric</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eng, Christine M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sutton, V Reid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shaw, Chad A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plon, Sharon E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yang, Yaping</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lupski, James R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Resolution of Disease Phenotypes Resulting from Multilocus Genomic Variation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N Engl J Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N Engl J Med</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Diseases, Inborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Variation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genotyping Techniques</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, DNA</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Jan 05</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">376</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21-31</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Whole-exome sequencing can provide insight into the relationship between observed clinical phenotypes and underlying genotypes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from a series of 7374 consecutive unrelated patients who had been referred to a clinical diagnostic laboratory for whole-exome sequencing; our goal was to determine the frequency and clinical characteristics of patients for whom more than one molecular diagnosis was reported. The phenotypic similarity between molecularly diagnosed pairs of diseases was calculated with the use of terms from the Human Phenotype Ontology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A molecular diagnosis was rendered for 2076 of 7374 patients (28.2%); among these patients, 101 (4.9%) had diagnoses that involved two or more disease loci. We also analyzed parental samples, when available, and found that de novo variants accounted for 67.8% (61 of 90) of pathogenic variants in autosomal dominant disease genes and 51.7% (15 of 29) of pathogenic variants in X-linked disease genes; both variants were de novo in 44.7% (17 of 38) of patients with two monoallelic variants. Causal copy-number variants were found in 12 patients (11.9%) with multiple diagnoses. Phenotypic similarity scores were significantly lower among patients in whom the phenotype resulted from two distinct mendelian disorders that affected different organ systems (50 patients) than among patients with disorders that had overlapping phenotypic features (30 patients) (median score, 0.21 vs. 0.36; P=1.77×10).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In our study, we found multiple molecular diagnoses in 4.9% of cases in which whole-exome sequencing was informative. Our results show that structured clinical ontologies can be used to determine the degree of overlap between two mendelian diseases in the same patient; the diseases can be distinct or overlapping. Distinct disease phenotypes affect different organ systems, whereas overlapping disease phenotypes are more likely to be caused by two genes encoding proteins that interact within the same pathway.
