Abstract
An important tool in the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases is whole exome or genome sequencing (WES/WGS). It is believed that many rare genetic diseases are caused by rare variations in the patients’ genome. Typically, clinical WES/WGS is done for patients and their parents in an attempt to find potential pathogenic variations. Advanced bioinformatics skills are needed to analyze these WES/WGS data. Variant annotations about the variant position in a gene, biological functions, and possible pathogenicity need to be referred to from genomic databases. WES/WGS data with variant annotation need to be cleaned, filtered, and presented in a meaningful way. An automated web tool for the processing and analysis of trio-based WES/WGS data could help clinicians diagnose rare genetic diseases. I have developed a workflow process that automatically, which will create a table of possibly pathogenic variants and display the output table alongside the input WES/WGS data in a webtool. The tool makes the process of variant identification and visual review easier and quicker in the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases.
