Abstract

Patients with rare genetic diseases (RGD) experience a lengthy diagnostic odyssey, involving complex diagnostic testing pathways. Compared to standard genetic tests, whole exome sequencing (WES) has a higher diagnostic yield and has potential to decrease time to diagnosis which is important for patients with suspected RGD and their families. We estimated time-to-diagnosis and cost-effectiveness of WES at different points in the diagnostic pathway.
