With rapid advances in DNA sequencing technologies, whole exome sequencing (WES) has become a popular approach for detecting somatic mutations in oncology studies. The initial intent of WES was to characterize single nucleotide variants, but it was observed that the number of sequencing reads that mapped to a genomic region correlated with the DNA copy number variants (CNVs). We propose a method RefCNV that uses a reference set to estimate the distribution of the coverage for each exon. The construction of the reference set includes an evaluation of the sources of variability in the coverage distribution. We observed that the processing steps had an impact on the coverage distribution. For each exon, we compared the observed coverage with the expected normal coverage. Thresholds for determining CNVs were selected to control the false-positive error rate. RefCNV prediction correlated significantly ( r = 0.96–0.86) with CNV measured by digital polymerase chain reaction for MET (7q31), EGFR (7p12), or ERBB2 (17q12) in 13 tumor cell lines. The genome-wide CNV analysis showed a good overall correlation (Spearman's coefficient = 0.82) between RefCNV estimation and publicly available CNV data in Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia. RefCNV also showed better performance than three other CNV estimation methods in genome-wide CNV analysis.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in pediatric patients with other underlying neurological defects. Identifying the underlying etiology is crucial for better management of the disorder. We performed trio-whole exome sequencing in 221 pediatric patients with epilepsy. Probands were divided into seizures with developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID) and seizures without DD/ID groups. Pathogenic (P) or likely pathogenic (LP) variants were identified in 71/110 (64.5%) patients in the seizures with DD/ID group and 21/111 (18.9%) patients in the seizures without DD/ID group (P < 0.001). Eighty-seven distinct P/LP single nucleotide variants (SNVs)/insertion deletions (Indels) were detected, with 55.2% (48/87) of them being novel. All aneuploidy and P/LP copy number variants (CNVs) larger than 100 Kb were identifiable by both whole-exome sequencing and copy number variation sequencing (CNVseq) in 123 of individuals (41 pedigrees). Ten of P/LP CNVs in nine patients and one aneuploidy variant in one patient (Patient #56, #47, XXY) were identified by CNVseq. Herein, we identified seven genes (NCL, SEPHS2, PA2G4, SLC35G2, MYO1C, GPR158, and POU3F1) with de novo variants but unknown pathogenicity that were not previously associated with epilepsy. Potential effective treatment options were available for 32 patients with a P/LP variant, based on the molecular diagnosis. Genetic testing may help identify the molecular etiology of early onset epilepsy and DD/ID and further aid to choose the appropriate treatment strategy for patients.
