    In contrast to multifactorial diseases, the genetic basis of many monogenic disorders is firmly established. It is published, summarized and explained on paper or in highly regarded databases such as a series of reviews in http://www.genetests.org/ (recently moved to the NCBI bookshelf, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=gene ).

    There are thousands of recognized single gene (monogenic) disorders. Their cumulative incidence is roughly 1%.

    Also, the penetrance is usually very high with single gene disorders. So must be the clinical validity or predictive value of the DNA tests.

    The new-generation methods of DNA sequencing or, for that matter, chip genotyping could probably be capable of detecting all single-gene disease mutations listed in the Genetests reviews over single run. Conceivably, in the clinical diagnostics setting the computer-annotated sequence data should be examined and verified by a qualified physician.

    Thus, the rapid comprehensive analysis of the genes implicated in single-gene genetic disorders appears to be feasible.

    Does anybody do that? If not, what is the matter?

    Michael,

    This post did not make any sense where you put it, so I've moved it here. If you had another destination in mind, let me know.

      Seems like a custom SNP-Chip would pass the FDA/CLIA more readily.

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
