A flexible computational pipeline for research analyses of unsolved clinical exome cases

Abstract Exome sequencing has enabled molecular diagnoses for rare disease patients but often with initial diagnostic rates of ~25−30%. Here we develop a robust computational pipeline to rank variants for reassessment of unsolved rare disease patients. A comprehensive web-based patient report is gen...
