Table 2 -. Diagnostic yield of exome sequencing in our cohort of 500 patients with rare diseases (Quaio CRDC et al., 2020) and projected diagnostic yield of NGS panels per clinical indication in the same cohort considering the rates of missed molecular diagnoses shown in Table 1.

Clinical manifestation Diagnostic yield
Exome sequencing Projected yield for NGS panels
Neurodevelopmental disorders 35% 15%
Seizure 34% 18%
Syndromic/malformative 41% 17%
Immune/hematological diseases 19% 10%
Cardiovascular disease 31% 7%
Metabolic anomaly 33% 5%
