Despite large sequencing and data sharing efforts it often remains challenging to provide a genetic diagnosis for individuals with suspected Mendelian (single-gene) disorders. Here, the authors describe their experiences in identifying likely causal genetic variants in thousands of families and highlight the need to consider a wide range of challenges rather than a narrow focus on sequencing technologies.
