The development of next-generation sequencing technologies has allowed for the identification of several new genes and genetic factors in human genetics. Common results from the application of these technologies have revealed unexpected presentations for mutations in known disease genes. In this review, we summarize the major contributions of exome sequencing to the study of neurodegenerative disorders and other neurological conditions and discuss the interface between Mendelian and complex neurological diseases with a particular focus on pleiotropic events.
下一代测序技术的发展使得在人类遗传学中能够鉴定出多个新基因和遗传因素。应用这些技术的常见结果揭示了已知疾病基因中突变的意外表现。在本综述中,我们总结了外显子组测序对神经退行性疾病和其他神经系统疾病研究的主要贡献,并讨论孟德尔神经疾病和复杂神经疾病之间的交叉点,特别关注多效性事件。
