Effective molecular diagnosis of congenital diseases hinges on comprehensive genomic analysis, traditionally reliant on various methodologies specific to each variant type--whole exome or genome sequencing for single nucleotide variants (SNVs), array CGH for copy-number variants (CNVs), and microscopy for structural variants (SVs). We introduce a novel, integrative approach combining exome sequencing with chromosome conformation capture, termed Exo-C. This method enables the concurrent identification of SNVs in clinically relevant genes and SVs across the genome and allows analysis of heterozygous and mosaic carriers. Enhanced with targeted long-read sequencing, Exo-C evolves into a cost-efficient solution capable of resolving complex SVs at base-pair accuracy. Through several case studies, we demonstrate how Exo-Cs multifaceted application can effectively uncover diverse causative variants and elucidate disease mechanisms in patients with rare disorders.
