    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate genetic testing platforms used to aid in the diagnosis of inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs).
    Design: Evaluation of diagnostic tests and technologies.
    Subjects: Targeted genetic panel testing for IRDs.
    Methods: Data collected regarding targeted genetic panel testing for IRDs offered by different laboratories were investigated for the inclusion of coding and noncoding variants in disease genes. Both large IRD panels and smaller, more focused, disease-specific panels were included in the analysis.
    Main outcome measures: Number of disease genes tested as well as the commonality and uniqueness across testing platforms in both coding and noncoding variants of disease.
    Results: Across the 3 IRD panel tests investigated, 409 unique genes are represented, of which 269 genes are tested by all 3 panels. The top 20 genes known to cause over 70% of all IRDs are represented in the 269 common genes tested by all 3 panels. In addition, 138 noncoding variants in 50 unique genes are assayed across the 3 platforms. Focused, disease-specific panels exhibit significant variability across the 5 testing platforms that were studied.
    Conclusions: Ordering genetic testing for IRDs is not straightforward, as evidenced by the multitude of panels available to providers. It is important that there is coverage of both coding and noncoding regions in IRD genes to offer diagnoses in these patients. This paper details the diversity of testing platforms currently available to clinicians and provides a thorough explanation of the genes tested in the different IRD panels. In a time of increased importance of the clinical genetic testing of patients with IRDs, knowledge of the proper test to order is paramount.

    Abstract The purpose of this early contribution to the new Fellows Forum of this pioneering journal for what is now called Geroscience is to provide an example of how the author's interest in using the emerging tools of human genetics has led to strong support for one of the hallmarks of aging-Genomic Instability. We shall also briefly review our emerging interests in the genetic analysis of what we have called Antigeroid Syndromes. While there has been significant progress in that direction via genetic studies of centenarians, the search for genetic pathways that make individuals unusually resistant or resilient to the ravages of specific geriatric disorders has been comparatively neglected. We refer to these disorders as Unimodal Antigeroid Syndromes. It is our hope that our young colleagues will consider research efforts in that direction.

    Abstract Background: Clinicians express concern that they may be unaware of important information contained in voluminous scanned and other outside documents contained in electronic health records (EHRs). An example is "unrecognized EHR risk factor information," defined as risk factors for heritable cancer that exist within a patient's EHR but are not known by current treating providers. In a related study using manual EHR chart review, we found that half of the women whose EHR contained risk factor information meet criteria for further genetic risk evaluation for heritable forms of breast and ovarian cancer. They were not referred for genetic counseling.
    Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the use of automated methods (optical character recognition with natural language processing) versus human review in their ability to identify risk factors for heritable breast and ovarian cancer within EHR scanned documents.
    Methods: We evaluated the accuracy of the chart review by comparing our criterion standard (physician chart review) versus an automated method involving Amazon's Textract service (Amazon.com, Seattle, Washington, United States), a clinical language annotation modeling and processing toolkit (CLAMP) (Center for Computational Biomedicine at The University of Texas Health Science, Houston, Texas, United States), and a custom-written Java application.
    Results: We found that automated methods identified most cancer risk factor information that would otherwise require clinician manual review and therefore is at risk of being missed.
    Conclusion: The use of automated methods for identification of heritable risk factors within EHRs may provide an accurate yet rapid review of patients' past medical histories. These methods could be further strengthened via improved analysis of handwritten notes, tables, and colloquial phrases.

    Abstract Phasing genetic variants is essential in determining those that are potentially disease-causing. In autosomal recessive inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), reclassification of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) can provide a genetic diagnosis in indeterminate compound heterozygote cases. We report four cases in which familial co-segregation demonstrated a VUS resided in trans to a known pathogenic variant, which in concert with other supporting criteria, led to the reclassification of the VUS to likely pathogenic, thereby providing a genetic diagnosis in each case. We also demonstrate in a simplex patient without access to family members for co-segregation analysis that targeted long-read sequencing can provide haplotagged variant calling. This can elucidate if variants reside in trans and provide phase of genetic variants from the proband alone without parental testing. This emerging method can alleviate the bottleneck of haplotype analysis in cases where genetic testing of family members is unfeasible to provide a complete genetic diagnosis.

    Abstract A progeroid family was found to harbor a pathogenic variant in the CASP5 gene that encodes inflammatory caspase 5. Caspase 5-depleted fibroblasts exhibited hyper-activation of inflammatory cytokines in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli. Long-term intermittent hyper-inflammatory response is likely the cause of the accelerated aging phenotype comprised of earlier onset of common aging diseases, supporting inflammaging as a potential common disease mechanism of progeroid syndromes and possibly normative aging.

    Abstract Our work evaluates the contributions of a genetics clinic visit in assessing patients' risk of hereditary cancers and in meeting National Cancer Comprehensive Network (NCCN) criteria for genetic testing. We reviewed the electronic health records (EHR) of 56 women seen for medical care in our healthcare system who were subsequently seen in the Adult Genetics Clinic. We searched for all personal or family cancer history available in either free-text or structured form within the EHR prior to the genetics visit. For each patient, we then compared the aggregate data with the pedigree information obtained at the Genetics Clinic visit for first-, second-, and third-degree relatives. During the genetics clinic visit, the number of relatives with cancer diagnoses doubled from 121 to 235, and for 17 of 56 (30%) of patients, family histories changed one or more NCCN criteria. For 39/56 (70%) of patients, the family history in the EHR was not changed during the genetics clinic visit. Of 56 women referred to the genetics clinic, 45 (80%) met NCCN guidelines for testing, 40 women underwent genetic testing, and 9 of 40 (23%) tested were positive for a Likely Pathogenic or Pathogenic (LP/P) variant. This study of 56 women quantitatively demonstrates the value of a genetics clinic visit by improved identification of key family history components.
