Abstract
The invention generally relates to methods for analyzing nucleic acids to identify novel mutations associated with diseases. In certain embodiments, methods of the invention involve obtaining nucleic acid from a subject having a disease, identifying at least one mutation in the nucleic acid, and comparing the mutation to a database of mutations known to be associated with the disease, wherein mutations that do not match to the database are identified as novel mutations.
