| Research Abstract |
In this study, we have developed RNA and DNA integrated analysis for unresolved genetic disease patients. At first, we constructed and tested cDNA-based exome capture libraries for better variant calling on RNA sequence data. Then, we identified 290 candidate genes for allele-specific gene expression. There were 23 known imprinted genes. In addition, like MRPL43 or ERAP2, several known allele-specific expressed genes were also detected. Finally, to examine the possibility of f contributing to the development of the disease, we conducted to screen heterozygous harmful variants of these candidate genes in clinical samples.
