摘要: Many patients suffering from developmental disorders have submicroscopic deletions or duplications affecting the copy number of dosage-sensitive genes disrupting normal gene expression. these changes are novel extremely rare, making clinical interpretation problematic and genotype/phenotype correlations difficult. Identification sharing a genomic rearrangement having phenotypes in common increases certainty diagnosis allows characterization new syndromes. The DECIPHER database is an online repository genotype phenotype data whose chief objective to facilitate association variation with enable (CNV). This unit shows how can be used (1) search for consented defined chromosomal location, (2) navigate regions interest using in-house visualization tools Ensembl genome browser, (3) analyze affected prioritize them according their likelihood haploinsufficiency, (4) upload patient aberrations phenotypes, (5) create printouts at different levels detail. By following this protocol, clinicians researchers alike will able learn characterize patients' imbalances DECIPHER.
