Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the fraction of putatively deleterious variants within genomic runs of homozygosity (ROH) regions in an inbred and selected cohort of Qatari individuals. METHODS: High-density SNP array analysis was performed in 36 individuals, and for 14 of them whole-exome sequencing (WES) was also carried out. RESULTS: In all individuals, regions characterized by a high (hotspot)...
