The Efficacy of Whole Genome Sequencing and RNA-Seq in the Diagnosis of Whole Exome Sequencing Negative Patients with Complex Neurological Phenotypes

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is being increasingly utilized for the diagnosis of neurological disease by sequencing both the exome and the remaining 98 to 99% of the genetic code. In addition to more complete coverage, WGS can detect structural variants (SVs) and intronic variants (SNVs) that cannot be identified by whole exome sequencing (WES) or chromosome microarray (CMA). Other multi-omics tools, such as RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), can be …
