PurposeIt has been hypothesized that diagnostic yield (DY) from Exome Sequencing (ES) may be lower among patients with non-European ancestries than those with European ancestry. We examined the association of DY with estimated continental genetic ancestry in a racially/ethnically diverse pediatric and prenatal clinical cohort. MethodsCases (N=845) with suspected genetic disorders underwent ES for diagnosis. Continental genetic ancestry proportions were estimated from the ES data. We compared th...
