Recent exome-sequencing studies have successfully identified disease-causing sequence variants for several rare monogenic diseases by examining variants common to a group of patients. However, the current data analysis strategies are only insufficiently able to deal with confounding factors such as genetic heterogeneity, incomplete penetrance, individuals lacking data and involvement of several genes.
