What if one variant can cause splicing outliers transcriptome-wide? In our preprint, we show how examining transcriptome-wide patterns of splicing outliers can both diagnose individuals with rare spliceopathies and uncover novel disease-gene relationships! (www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...)

Transcriptome-wide outlier approach identifies individuals with minor spliceopathies
RNA-sequencing has improved the diagnostic yield of individuals with rare diseases. Current analyses predominantly focus on identifying outliers in single genes that can be attributed to cis-acting va...
