Legend:
Disease: name of disease. Gene (symbol, exons): name of gene carrying disease-causing mutations. symbol - official gene symbol (HGNC), exons - number of exons in the gene. DNA: molecular diagnosis performed at DNA-level. deletion/duplication - quantitative screen to detect deletions and duplications, point mutation - screen to detect changes at basepair level. RNA: molecular diagnosis performed at RNA-level. Protein: molecular diagnosis performed at protein-level.
