Continuum of Human Genetics Discovery From bench to bedside

Variant Identification: Cataloging the

complete picture of variation in humans

Whole-genome Applications: Agnostic scan of

the entire genome to narrow down

regions of interest 3 Billion BP à

a few MB

Targeted Applications: Identification of causal loci in

regions of association or

candidate genes A few MB à a few specific variants

Prioritization and Functional

Understanding: Combining

orthogonal data (expression, protein, drug

response, etc.)

Translational Genomics:

Moving research findings from the RUO space into

the clinic: assessing utility

and patient impact, cost

Diagnostics: Routine use of

genetic information in the

diagnosis, treatment and prevention of

disease

Functional Validation shows Biological Relevance All 95 Loci Identified in This Study Will Be Subject to Further Investigation

“We expect that future investigations of the new loci (for example, resequencing efforts to identify low-frequency and rare variants, or functional experiments in cells and animal models) will uncover additional important new genes.”
