Gilissen: Compared their list of de novo mutations to Univ Wash 6k exome database, and calculated rare non-syn mutation rates #ESHG14

12:02pm May 31st 2014 via Hootsuite

Gilissen: 79 de novo cp to 84 (WES n=100 cp to WGS n=50). Plotting different de novo per individual: theirs is much higher rate #ESHG14

11:59am May 31st 2014 via Hootsuite

Gilissen: The same were found - 16/18 from WES cp to WGS; one was mosaic (30% present), another failed #ESHG14

11:58am May 31st 2014 via Hootsuite

Gilissen: From de novo muts: systematic validation (overall 38% validation), 84 de novo SNV's identified. Cp to WES 12% validated #ESHG14

Gilissen" n=50 for WGS via Complete Genomics. % of exome is 'much higher'; >20X goes from 80% to above 97% #ESHG14

11:55am May 31st 2014 via Hootsuite

Gilissen: Of 1500 ID patients: 1.5% via single-gene for ID; 12% via microarray; another 27% by WES (n=100) #ESHG14
