Extended homozygosity is not usually due to cytogenetic abnormality.

BMC genetics - 4 Oct 2007

Curtis David

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported frequent stretches of homozygosity in human subjects but have failed to clarify whether these are due to cytogenetic abnormalities or to autozygosity. METHODS: Trios which had been typed for closely spaced SNPs spanning the genome were studied. Stretches of extended homozygosity were identified in the child members, as were occasions on which the child had been genotyped...
