Graphical summary

Excited to share a genome-wide analysis of pathogenic truncating variants that escape nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) that may produce truncated and/or altered protein tails that are likely to disrupt condensate behavior, contributing to human disease.

How a β€œcommon language” to share genetic variation can improve patient care
When a doctor suspects their patient might have a genetic disease, they can test a person’s genome to find differences (variants) that might cause the symptoms. However, it can be challenging to find… How a β€œcommon language” to share genetic variation can improve patient care

The GA4GH Genomics Knowledge Standards (GKS) Work Stream aims to develop a β€œcommon language” to describe and share variants, helping to deliver on the promise of scalable genomic medicine. Watch the animation to learn more!
