𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 On the International Day for Persons with Disabilities (to be respectfully called persons with alternative abilities), we recognize the importance of supporting individuals with disabilities and celebrating their contributions to society. Intellectual disability (ID) is a significant challenge that affects millions worldwide. In this light, next-generation sequencing (NGS) emerges as a groundbreaking tool, transforming how we diagnose and research ID, offering new hope and opportunities for those affected. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is revolutionizing the diagnosis of intellectual disability (ID) by allowing for rapid and comprehensive analysis of genetic material. For example, a recent study analyzed 280 children with unexplained developmental delays using whole exome sequencing (WES), identifying pathogenic variants in 36% of the cases (1). This technology provides precise and cost-effective diagnostic solutions, unraveling the complexities of genetic disorders with unprecedented accuracy. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 NGS is a game-changer in diagnosing ID, enabling the discovery of genetic mutations that traditional methods might miss. A study involving 87 families with neurodevelopmental disorders found that NGS identified causative gene alterations in approximately 36% of the families (2). These discoveries not only aid in accurate diagnosis but also contribute to advancements in genetic counseling and patient management. This technology is paving the way for personalized medicine and innovative therapeutic approaches. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 While NGS holds immense potential, it comes with challenges such as data interpretation and ethical considerations. However, ongoing advancements in bioinformatics and a deeper understanding of the human genome are addressing these hurdles. The future of NGS looks promising, with its role in genomics research expanding and offering new hope for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Every discovery in the realm of intellectual disability is a step towards a more inclusive and understanding world. Each breakthrough, like those enabled by NGS, brings us closer to a future where every person’s unique potential is recognized and celebrated. On this day, let us commit to supporting scientific advancements and fostering a society that values and uplifts every individual, regardless of their challenges. Together, we can make a difference.

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 @ Bengaluru Tech Summit (#BTS2024) It was a hive of activity at our event, with lively discussions buzzing both on and off stage. Entrepreneurs, investors, academics, industry experts, funding bodies, students, and enthusiastic parents all came together to explore the exciting world of bioinformatics. We were thrilled to see so many parents curious about the potential of bioinformatics for their school-going kids. It was mind-blowing to learn that they were already familiar with AlphaFold (thanks to the Nobel Prize) and AI's role in biology! Our stall was a constant hub of activity, drawing a steady stream of visitors. Our team worked tirelessly, engaging with everyone from seasoned professionals to curious newcomers. We loved answering questions, sharing insights, and forging new connections. In case you have missed the event and would like to catch up with us, reach us [email protected] A huge shoutout to our amazing team for their dedication and enthusiasm! Your hard work made this event a resounding success.
