Introduction: Analysis of sequence data in high-risk pedigrees is a powerful approach to detect rare predisposition variants.
Methods: Rare, shared candidate predisposition variants were identified from exome sequencing 19 Alzheimer's disease (AD)-affected cousin pairs selected from high-risk pedigrees. Variants were further prioritized by risk association in various external datasets. Candidate variants emerging from these analyses were tested for co-segregation to additional affected relatives of the original sequenced pedigree members.
Results: AD-affected high-risk cousin pairs contained 564 shared rare variants. Eleven variants spanning 10 genes were prioritized in external datasets: rs201665195 (ABCA7), and rs28933981 (TTR) were previously implicated in AD pathology; rs141402160 (NOTCH3) and rs140914494 (NOTCH3) were previously reported; rs200290640 (PIDD1) and rs199752248 (PIDD1) were present in more than one cousin pair; rs61729902 (SNAP91), rs140129800 (COX6A2, AC026471), and rs191804178 (MUC16) were not present in a longevity cohort; and rs148294193 (PELI3) and rs147599881 (FCHO1) approached significance from analysis of AD-related phenotypes. Three variants were validated via evidence of co-segregation to additional relatives (PELI3, ABCA7, and SNAP91).
Discussion: These analyses support ABCA7 and TTR as AD risk genes, expand on previously reported NOTCH3 variant identification, and prioritize seven additional candidate variants.

To analyze the relationship between genotype and clinical phenotype of the MYH7-R453C mutation in five Chinese hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) families. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 527 unrelated HCM probands who were first diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University (Xijing Hospital) from February 2014 to July 2018, and the high-throughput whole exome targeted sequencing of 96 genes related to hereditary cardiovascular disease was performed on the probands. The probands carrying the MYH7-R453C mutation were screened out, and their family members carrying the mutation were verified using Sanger sequencing.

: Congenital, non-syndromic orofacial clefts (CL/P) are infrequently monogenic in etiology. However, heterozygous pathogenic germline variants were reported in a few non-syndromic CL/P families, as well as in one syndromic form of CL/P: the blepharocheilodontic syndrome. encodes epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin), and close to 300 different pathogenic variants are listed in the ClinVar mutation database.

Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI), also known as Manteaux-Lamy syndrome, is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase B(ARSB). This syndrome is progressive and affects many tissues and organs, leading to inflammation and scarring. The classic clinical features of Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome are significant impairment of the osteoarticular system with dysostosis multiplex, short stature and motor dysfunction.

Background: Hereditary cancer syndromes cause a high lifetime risk of early, aggressive cancers. Early recognition of individuals at risk can allow risk-reducing interventions that improve morbidity and mortality. Family health history applications that gather data directly from patients could alleviate barriers to risk assessment in the clinical appointment, such as lack of provider knowledge of genetics guidelines and limited time in the clinical appointment.
