Description

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to see if ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing can improve the diagnostic yield and accuracy of genetic testing compared to gene sequencing alone. Participants will be asked to share their medical history and prior genetic testing results, and to donate a blood sample for testing.

Official Title

RNAseq for the Evaluation of Splicing and Cryptic or Unrecognized Effects

Details

Participant will come on site for a one-time blood draw. Study personnel will review prior medical history, family history, and prior genetic testing results gathered from the participant's medical record, along with analysis of RNA sequencing results derived from participant's blood sample. Results will be shared with participants through their clinical geneticist.
