Variants of unknown significance (VUS) are an increasing problem for clinicians and researchers. Excited to share our comprehensive review, now out in Genome Medicine, that addresses VUS as an issue and the latest clinical and research approaches to resolve them. This article was inspired by my own frustrations in dealing with VUS in both clinical and research space. Thank you Qifei Li, Sarah Morton, Shiyu Luo, @ZornitzaS for your contributions in making it possible! @GenomeMedicine @univmiami @NEONATOLOGYUM @JacksonHealth @UMPediatrics @ExpertKidsCare
