Abstract

PURPOSE: Roughly 70% of suspected Mendelian disease patients remain undiagnosed after genome sequencing, partly because knowledge about pathogenic genes is incomplete and constantly growing. Generating a novel pathogenic gene hypothesis from patient data can be time-consuming especially where cohort-based analysis is not available.
