    Diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in academia are leading publishers and journals to re-examine their use of terminology for commonly used scientific variables. This reassessment of language is particularly important for human genetics, which is focused on identifying and explaining differences between individuals and populations. Recent guidance on the use of terms and symbols in clinical…

    Expanded pan-ethnic carrier screening is an effective tool for the management of reproductive risk. However, growth in the number of conditions screened, in combination with increasingly more comprehensive test methodologies, can lead to the detection of genetic findings that may affect the health of the tested individual. The objective of this study was to investigate the frequency of pathogenic…

    TANGO2 deficiency disorder (TDD), an autosomal recessive disease first reported in 2016, is characterized by neurodevelopmental delays, seizures, intermittent ataxia, hypothyroidism and life-threatening metabolic and cardiac crises. The purpose of this study was to define the natural history of TDD.

    Genetics professionals understand that variant classifications are not static and can change over time. Reclassifications may occur in response to changes in evidence, new or modified approaches to weighing the evidence, and/or changes in the overall systems used to classify variants. How should other laboratories be notified about proposed reclassifications or even the original classifications…

    Witteveen-Kolk syndrome (WITKOS) is a rare, autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by heterozygous loss-of-function alterations in the SIN3A gene. WITKOS has variable expressivity that commonly overlaps with other neurodevelopmental disorders. In this study, we characterized a distinct DNA methylation epigenetic signature (episignature) distinguishing WITKOS from unaffected…
