Abstract excerpt
Genetic methods can complement epidemiological surveys and clinical registries in determining prevalence of monogenic autosomal recessive diseases. Several large population-based genetic databases, such as the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, are now publically available. By assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of individuals homozygous in the general population for a particular pathogenic allele...
