    Abstract Human genome sequencing is routine and will soon be a staple in research and clinical genetics. However, the promise of sequencing is often just that, with genome data routinely failing to reveal useful insights about disease in general or a person's health in particular. Nowhere is this chasm between promise and progress more evident than in the designation, "variant of uncertain significance" (VUS). Although it serves an important role, careful consideration of VUS reveals it to be a nebulous description of genomic information and its relationship to disease, symptomatic of our inability to make even crude quantitative assertions about the disease risks conferred by many genetic variants. In this perspective, I discuss the challenge of "variant interpretation" and the value of comparative and functional genomic information in meeting that challenge. Although already essential, genomic annotations will become even more important as our analytical focus widens beyond coding exons. Combined with more genotype and phenotype data, they will help facilitate more quantitative and insightful assessments of the contributions of genetic variants to disease.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Identifying pathogenic variation underlying pediatric developmental disease is critical for medical management, therapeutic development, and family planning. This review summarizes current genetic testing options along with their potential benefits and limitations. We also describe results from large-scale genomic sequencing projects in pediatric and neonatal populations with a focus on clinical utility.
    Recent findings: Recent advances in DNA sequencing technology have made genomic sequencing a feasible and effective testing option in a variety of clinical settings. These cutting-edge tests offer much promise to both medical providers and patients as it has been demonstrated to detect causal genetic variation in ∼25% or more of previously unresolved cases. Efforts aimed at promoting data sharing across clinical genetics laboratories and systematic reanalysis of existing genomic sequencing data have further improved diagnostic rates and reduced the number of unsolved cases.
    Summary: Genomic sequencing is a powerful and increasingly cost-effective alternative to current genetic tests and will continue to grow in clinical utility as more of the genome is understood and as analytical methods are improved. The evolution of genomic sequencing is changing the landscape of clinical testing and requires medical professionals who are adept at understanding and returning genomic results to patients.

    Abstract Designing an appropriate tissue engineering solution for craniosynostosis (CS) necessitates determination of whether CS-derived cells differ from normal (wild-type, WT) cells and what assays are appropriate to test for differences. Traditional methodologies to statistically compare cellular behavior may not accurately reflect biologically relevant differences because they poorly address variation. Here, logistic regression was used to determine which assays could identify a biological difference between WT and CS progenitor cells. Quantitative alkaline phosphatase and MTS proliferation assays were performed on adipose, muscle, and bone marrow-derived cells from WT and CS rabbits. Data were stratified by assay, cell type, and days in culture. Coefficients of variation were calculated and assay results coded as predictive variables. Phenotype (WT or CS) was coded as the dependent variable. Sensitivity-specificity curves, classification tables, and receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted for discriminating models. Two data sets were utilized for subsequent analyses; one was used to develop the logistic regression models for prediction, and the other independent data set was used to determine the ability to predict group membership based on the predictive equation. The resulting coefficients of variation were high for all differentiation measures. Upon model implementation, bone marrow assays were observed to result in 72%-100% predictability for phenotype. We found predictive differences in our muscle-derived and bone marrow-derived cells suggesting biologically relevant differences. This data analysis methodology could help identify homogenous cells that do not differ between pathologic and normal individuals or cells that differ in their osteogenic potential, depending on the type of cell-based therapy being developed.

    Abstract Variant detection from long-read genome sequencing (lrGS) has proven to be considerably more accurate and comprehensive than variant detection from short-read genome sequencing (srGS). However, the rate at which lrGS can increase molecular diagnostic yield for rare disease is not yet precisely characterized. We performed lrGS using Pacific Biosciences "HiFi" technology on 96 short-read-negative probands with rare disease that were suspected to be genetic. We generated hg38-aligned variants and

    Abstract Transcription Factors (TFs) influence gene expression by facilitating or disrupting the formation of transcription initiation machinery at particular genomic loci. Because genomic localization of TFs is in part driven by TF recognition of DNA sequence, variation in TF binding sites can disrupt TF-DNA associations and affect gene regulation. To identify variants that impact TF binding in human brain tissues, we quantified allele bias for 93 TFs analyzed with ChIP-seq experiments of multiple structural brain regions from two donors. Using graph genomes constructed from phased genomic sequence data, we compared ChIP-seq signal between alleles at heterozygous variants within each tissue sample from each donor. Comparison of results from different brain regions within donors and the same regions between donors provided measures of allele bias reproducibility. We identified thousands of DNA variants that show reproducible bias in ChIP-seq for at least one TF. We found that alleles that are rarer in the general population were more likely than common alleles to exhibit large biases, and more frequently led to reduced TF binding. Combining ChIP-seq with RNA-seq, we identified TF-allele interaction biases with RNA bias in a phased allele linked to 6,709 eQTL variants identified in GTEx data, 3,309 of which were found in neural contexts. Our results provide insights into the effects of both common and rare variation on gene regulation in the brain. These findings can facilitate mechanistic understanding of cis-regulatory variation associated with biological traits, including disease.

    Abstract Background: Using immunomodulatory methods to address the challenging issue of craniofacial bone repair may be a potentially effective approach. The protease inhibitor saquinavir has been shown to inhibit the inflammatory response by targeting the toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation primary response complex. Independently, inhibition of toll-like receptor 4 or myeloid differentiation primary response led to enhanced skull bone repair. Therefore, the authors aimed to investigate the effects of saquinavir on skull bone healing.
    Methods: The effects of saquinavir on skull bone healing were assessed by means of gene expression, histology, immunohistochemistry, and tomography in a mouse calvarial defect model. Subsequently, the role of saquinavir in cell viability, migration, and osteogenic and osteoclastogenic differentiation was also evaluated in vitro.
    Results: One-week saquinavir administration improved skull bone healing based on micro-computed tomographic and histomorphometric analyses. Compared to the vehicle control, 1-week saquinavir treatment (1) enhanced osteoclast infiltration (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining) at day 7, but not at days 14 and 28; (2) induced more CD206 + M2 macrophage infiltration, but not F4/80 + M0 macrophages at days 7, 14, and 28; and (3) elevated osteoclastogenic gene RANKL (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) expression and other osteogenic and cytokine expression. Furthermore, in vitro data showed that saquinavir administration did not influence MC3T3-E1 cell migration or mineralization, whereas higher concentrations of saquinavir inhibited cell viability. Saquinavir treatment also enhanced the osteoclastic differentiation of bone marrow-derived precursors, and partially reversed high-mobility group box 1-driven osteoclastogenesis inhibition and elevated proinflammatory cytokine expression.
    Conclusion: The improved skull bone repair following short-term saquinavir treatment may involve enhanced osteoclastogenesis and modulated inflammatory response following skull injury.
    Clinical relevance statement: The authors' work demonstrates improved skull bone healing by short-term application of saquinavir, a drug traditionally used in the treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. As such, saquinavir may be repurposed for skeletal repair.
