Description

Pengfei Liu will present on a novel workflow for rare disease diagnostics using RNA-seq. The workflow leverages patient cell transdifferentiation into induced neurons to improve molecular diagnostic yield of neurological genetic disorders. 

Overview of Presentation

  • Transcriptome RNA-seq using clinically accessible tissues does not provide comprehensive characterization of Mendelian disease genes involved in neurological disorders.
  • Cell transdifferentiation can be streamlined into a diagnostic RNA-seq workflow.
  • Induced neuron RNA-seq increases molecular diagnostic yield by activating neurological disease-associated genes and neuron-specific isoforms
