WES uncovers mutations for rare paediatric diseases

WES uncovers mutations for rare paediatric diseases Shannon Gunn 19 February 2021 Using whole-exome sequencing (WES), researchers have identified underlying variants in children with rare genetic paediatric diseases. Rare genetic paediatric diseases Although rare genetic diseases are individually uncommon, they collectively impact significant numbers worldwide. There are approximately 7,000 rare diseases that affect around 250 million people. These disorders encompass a spectrum of complex clinical manifestations that can be difficult to diagnose and pinpoint causation. Unfortunately, clinics within developing countries are not currently equipped with technologically advanced health facilities to effectively diagnose and treat rare disease patients. In Bangladesh, genetic tests are not widely used in a clinical setting and are mostly used in research. The current standard of care in most developing nations does not include first-tier genetic testing.

Abby MacCurtain marks 10 years with drive-by birthday party

Wicked Local Out on a routine call, the fire engine moves slowly though the neighborhood. Bundled up against a blustery breeze in her wheelchair, Abby MacCurtain spots it as is rounds the corner. A big grin spreads across her face. Suddenly, the fire engine lets loose with a shrill shriek from the siren. Abby turns her head and covers her ears – but the broad smile and look of delight are still there. “Happy birthday, Abby,” come the shouts from friends as the fire truck pulls in front of the glowing girl. Also beaming, Abby’s mother is about as excited as her daughter. Waving to the vehicles that follow the fire truck, Heidi profusely thanks each carload of well wishers in this drive-by birthday celebration on Sunday.
