Rapid clinical diagnostic variant investigation of genomic patient sequencing data with iobio web tools

INTRODUCTION: Computational analysis of genome or exome sequences may improve inherited disease diagnosis, but is costly and time-consuming. METHODS: We describe the use of iobio, a web-based tool suite for intuitive, real-time genome diagnostic analyses. RESULTS: We used iobio to identify the disease-causing variant in a patient with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with prior nondiagnostic genetic testing. CONCLUSIONS: Iobio tools can be used by clinicians to rapidly identify disease-causing variants from genomic patient sequencing data.
