This report describes the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Program (UDP), details the Program's application of genomic technology to establish diagnoses, and details the Program's success rate over its first two years. Each accepted study participant was extensively phenotyped. A subset of participants and selected family members (29 patients and 78 unaffected family members) was subjected to an integrated set of genomic analyses including high-density SNP arrays and whole exome or genome analysis. Of 1191 medical records reviewed, 326 patients were accepted and 160 were admitted directly to the NIH Clinical Center on the UDP service. Of those, 47% were children, 55% were females, and 53% had neurological disorders. Diagnoses were reached on 39 participants (24%) on clinical, biochemical, pathological, or molecular grounds; 21 diagnoses involved rare or ultra-rare diseases. Three disorders were diagnosed based upon SNP array analysis and three others using WES and filtering of variants. Two new disorders were discovered. Analysis of the SNP-array study cohort revealed that large stretches of homozygosity were more common in affected participants relative to controls. The NIH UDP addresses an unmet need, i.e., the diagnosis of patients with complex, multisystem disorders. It may serve as a model for the clinical application of emerging genomic technologies, and is providing insights into the characteristics of diseases that remain undiagnosed after extensive clinical workup.
