Identification of technically challenging variants: Whole-genome sequencing improves diagnostic yield in patients with high clinical suspicion of rare diseases

Summary: The total burden of rare diseases is significant worldwide, with over 300 million people being affected. Many rare diseases have both well-defined clinical phenotypes and established genetic causes. However, a remarkable proportion of patients with high clinical suspicion of a rare disease...
