Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mendelian phenotypes in humans vary from benign variants to lethal disorders. Embryonic lethal phenotypes that are similar to what has been known for a long time in mice have remained largely unknown because of the difficulty in arriving at a molecular diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to test whether next generation sequencing can reveal the underlying etiology of recurrent fetal loss. METHODS: We...
