Using case-parent trios to look for rare de novo genetic variants in adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Rare de novo genetic variants have been detected in a number of diseases using case-parent trios. So far, trio studies have largely been confined to early-onset diseases where parent DNA samples are readily available. To test the feasibility of finding rare de novo variants in a typical late-onset neurodegenerative disease, we compared genome-wide copy number variants (CNVs) between patients with sporadic...
