Leveraging ancestry to improve causal variant identification in exome sequencing for monogenic disorders.

Abstract excerpt

Recent breakthroughs in exome-sequencing technology have made possible the identification of many causal variants of monogenic disorders. Although extremely powerful when closely related individuals (eg, child and parents) are simultaneously sequenced, sequencing of a single case is often unsuccessful due to the large number of variants that need to be followed up for functional validation. Many approaches filter...
