The Development of an Infrastructure to Facilitate the Use of Whole Genome Sequencing for Population Health.

The clinical use of genomic analysis has expanded rapidly resulting in an increased availability and utility of genomic information in clinical care. We have developed an infrastructure utilizing informatics tools and clinical processes to facilitate the use of whole genome sequencing data for population health management across the healthcare system. Our resulting framework scaled well to multiple clinical domains in both pediatric and adult care, although there were domain specific challenges that arose.

T Cell Transcriptome in Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome.

Phenotypic variations of chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22qDS) have unclear explanations. T cell lymphopenia in 22qDS related to varying degrees of thymic hypoplasia contributes to the phenotypic heterogeneity.
