Disease-associated Genes Routinely Missed in Some Genetic Studies

Caption

Low-Coverage Genes in Whole-Exome Sequencing: Researchers identified 832 genes that have low coverage across multiple whole-exome sequencing platforms. These genes are associated with leukemia, psoriasis, heart failure, and other diseases, and may be missed by researchers using whole-exome sequencing to study these diseases.
