Could inbred cases identified in GWAS data succeed in detecting rare recessive variants where affected sib-pairs have failed?

Abstract excerpt

To detect fully penetrant rare recessive variants that could constitute Mendelian subentities of complex diseases, we propose a novel strategy, the HBD-GWAS strategy, which can be applied to genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. This strategy first involves the identification of inbred individuals among cases using the genome-wide SNP data and then focuses on these inbred affected individuals and searches...
