Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: Rare genetic diseases are a major cause for severe illness in children. Whole exome sequencing (WES) is a powerful tool for identifying genetic causes of rare diseases. For a better and faster assessment of the vast number of variants that are identified in the index patient in WES, parental sequencing can be applied (“trio WES”). Methods: We assessed the diagnostic rate of routine trio WES including analysis of copy number variants in 224 pediatric patients during an evaluation period of three years. Results: Trio WES provided a diagnosis in 67 (30%) of all 224 analysed children. The turnaround time of trio WES analysis has been reduced significantly from 41 days in 2019 to 23 days in 2021. Copy number variants could be identified to be causative in 10 cases (4.5%), underlying the importance of copy number variant analysis. Variants in three genes which were previously not associated with a clinical condition (GAD1, TMEM222 and ZNFX1) were identified using the matching tool GeneMatcher and were part of the first description of a new syndrome. Discussion: Trio WES has proven to have a high diagnostic yield and to shorten the process of identifying the correct diagnosis in paediatric patients. Re-evaluation of all 224 trio WES 1–3 years after initial analysis did not establish new diagnoses. Initiating (trio) WES as a first-tier diagnostics including copy number variant detection should be considered as early as possible, especially for children treated in ICU, if a monogenetic disease is suspected.
