Whole-genome sequencing as a first-tier diagnostic framework for rare genetic diseases
(Sage, 2021) Nisar, Haseeb; Wajid, Bilal; Shahid, Samiah; Anwar, Faria; Wajid, Imran; Khatoon, Asia; Sattar, Mian Usman; Sadaf, Saima
Rare diseases affect nearly 300 million people globally with most patients aged five or less. Traditional diagnostic approaches have provided much of the diagnosis; however, there are limitations. For instance, simply inadequate and untimely diagnosis adversely affects both the patient and their families. This review advocates the use of whole genome sequencing in clinical settings for diagnosis of rare genetic diseases by showcasing five case studies. These examples specifically describe the utilization of whole genome sequencing, which helped in providing relief to patients via correct diagnosis followed by use of precision medicine.
