项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over the past three decades, the genes underlying nearly 3,000 Mendelian disorders have been identified by methods such as linkage analysis and positional cloning. Although the availability of a reference human genome greatly accelerated these efforts, there are thousands of additional suspected Mendelian disorders that remain unsolved. An understanding of the genetic basis of a Mendelian disorder can yield fundamental insights into basic human biology and disease pathophysiology, as well as a molecular basis for diagnosis or carrier status determination. In some instances, biological insights from studying Mendelian disorders can prove highly relevant to our understanding of more common diseases. Recently, we and others have shown that the coupling of targeted capture and next-generation DNA sequencing technology can be used to cost-effectively determine nearly all coding variation in an individual human genome, a process termed exome sequencing. We, and others, have also demonstrated how exome sequencing can be applied to efficiently identify the causal genes for Mendelian disorders that have proven intractable to conventional modes of analysis. To accelerate progress towards a comprehensive understanding of the genetic basis of all Mendelian disorders, we propose to establish the UW Center for Mendelian Genomics. Our proposal has four specific aims: (1) To organize samples for all unsolved Mendelian disorders from investigators around the world, either by their submission to our center for sequencing, or by their inclusion on a public sample list that we will develop; (2) To apply our existing production pipeline for exome and genome sequencing to samples corresponding to unsolved Mendelian disorders, and to improve this process through ongoing technology innovation; (3) To determine the genetic basis for as many unsolved Mendelian disorders as possible, through efficient study design and effective, innovative analysis; (4) To take a leadership role in the dissemination of methods and data.

描述（由申请人提供）：在过去的三十年中，通过连锁分析和位置克隆等方法已经鉴定了近3000种孟德尔疾病的基因。尽管参考人类基因组的可用性大大加快了这些努力，但仍有数千种额外的疑似孟德尔疾病尚未解决。了解孟德尔疾病的遗传基础可以对基本的人类生物学和疾病病理生理学以及诊断或携带者状态确定的分子基础产生基本的见解。在某些情况下，研究孟德尔疾病的生物学见解可以证明与我们对更常见疾病的理解高度相关。最近，我们和其他人已经证明，靶向捕获和下一代DNA测序技术的耦合可以用于经济有效地确定人类个体基因组中几乎所有的编码变异，这一过程被称为外显子组测序。我们和其他人也证明了外显子组测序可以有效地识别孟德尔疾病的致病基因，而传统的分析模式已经证明了这一点。为了加速全面了解所有孟德尔疾病的遗传基础，我们建议建立华盛顿大学孟德尔基因组学中心。我们的提案有四个具体目标：(1)组织来自世界各地研究者的所有未解决的孟德尔疾病样本，要么通过他们提交给我们的中心进行测序，要么通过将他们纳入我们将开发的公共样本列表；(2)将我们现有的外显子组和基因组测序生产线应用于未解决的孟德尔疾病对应的样品，并通过持续的技术创新改进这一过程；(3)通过高效的研究设计和有效、创新的分析，尽可能多地确定尚未解决的孟德尔疾病的遗传基础；(4)在方法和数据的传播方面发挥领导作用。
