Expanded carrier screening for inherited genetic disease using exome and genome sequencing.
The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of using exome (ES) and genome sequencing (GS) in guiding preconception genetic screening (PCGS) for couples who are planning to conceive by creating a workflow for identifying risk alleles for autosomal recessive (AR) and X‐linked (XL) disorders...

There were several limitations and challenges related to reporting and the technical aspects of ES and GS, which are listed in the discussion. We selected 150 couples from a cohort of families (trios) enrolled in a research protocol where the goal was to define the genetic etiology of disease in an affected child. Pre‐existing, de‐identified parental sequencing data were analyzed to define variants that would place the couple at risk of having a child affected by an AR or XL disorder. We identified 17 families who would be selected for counseling about risk alleles. We noted that only 3 of these at‐risk couples would be identified if we limited ourselves to the current ACMG‐recommended expanded carrier screening gene panel. ES and GS successfully identified couples who are at risk of having a child with a rare AR or XL disorder that would have been missed by the current recommended guidelines. Current limitations of this approach include ethical concerns, difficulties in reporting results including variant calling due to the rare nature of some of the variants, determining which disorders to report, as well as technical difficulties in detecting certain variants such as repeat expansions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
