Targeted gene panel provides advantages over whole-exome sequencing for diagnosing obesity and diabetes mellitus

A small fraction of patients diagnosed with obesity or diabetes mellitus has an underlying monogenic cause.Here,we constructed a targeted gene panel consisting of 83 genes reported to be causative for monogenic obesity or diabetes.We performed this panel in 481 patients to detect causative variants and compared these results with whole-exome sequencing(WES)data available for 146 of these patients.The coverage of targeted gene panel sequencing was significantly higher than that of WES.The diagnostic yield in patients sequenced by the panel was 32.9%with subsequent WES leading to three additional diagnoses with two novel genes.In total,178 variants in 83 genes were detected in 146 patients by targeted sequencing.Three of the 178 variants were missed by WES,although the WES-only approach had a similar diagnostic yield.For the 335 samples only receiving targeted sequencing,the diagnostic yield was 32.2%.In conclusion,taking into account the lower costs,shorter turnaround time,and higher quality of data,targeted sequencing is a more effective screening method for monogenic obesity and diabetes compared to WES.Therefore,this approach could be routinely established and used as a first-tier test in clinical practice for specific patients.
