Imaging flow cytometry-based cellular screening elucidates pathophysiology in individuals with Variants of Uncertain Significance by Irena Josephina Johanna Muffels, Hans R. Waterham, Giuseppina D’Alessandro, Guido Zagnoli-Vieira, Michael Sacher, Dirk J. Lefeber, Celine Van der Vinne, Chaim M. Roifman, Koen L. I. Gassen, Holger Rehmann, Desiree Y. Van Haaften-Visser, Edward S. S. Nieuwenhuis, Stephen P. Jackson, Sabine A. Fuchs, Femke Wijk, Peter van Hasselt

“…Abstract Background Deciphering variants of uncertain significance (VUS) represents a major diagnostic challenge, partially due to the lack of easy-to-use and versatile cellular readouts that aid the interpretation of pathogenicity and pathophysiology. To address this challenge, we propose a high-throughput screening of cellular functionality through an imaging flow cytometry (IFC)-based platform. …”
