Abstract

This report illustrates the value of whole genome sequencing (WGS) in elucidating the genetic cause of disease in patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID). As sequencing costs decline, we predict that utilization of next generation sequencing (NGS) in the clinical setting will increase.
