Abstract

Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is a promising method in human genetics. Because the majority of pathogenic mutations that lead to the development of diseases are localized in exons and splice sites, WES could become a major tool for the diagnosis of diseases with a complex hereditary nature. This tool appears to be particularly useful for hereditary neurological diseases, such as autism spectrum disorders, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and others. In our review, we discuss the clinical application of WES, with special emphasis on the diagnosis of hereditary neurological diseases.

В статье обзорного характера представлено развитие методов современной молекулярной генетики, которые могут быть применены в клинической практике. Это показано на примере полноэкзомного секвенирования - WES (Whole Exome Sequencing), которое представлено в следующих разделах: особенности метода полноэкзомного секвенирования, захвата экзома, применение в клинической практике, стратегия выявления патогенной мутации, диагностика психических расстройств аутистического спектра, диагностика болезни Шарко-Мари-Тута, применение в клинико-диагностических лабораториях.
