In up to 30% of individuals with chronic liver disease, the cause is unknown. To test for possible genetic factors in such cases, Yale researchers conducted whole-exome sequencing for a small group of patients, finding specific mutations that would have otherwise been missed. The results led to accurate diagnoses and informed treatment for a subset […]
