Abstract excerpt
Autozygosity mapping is a powerful method for the identification of recessively inherited disease genes using small inbred families. Typically, microarray SNP genotype data are first used to identify autozygous regions as extended runs of homozygous genotypes. Next, candidate disease loci are found by defining regions that are autozygous in all affected patients. Finally, the disease gene is identified by...
