Revisiting disease genes based on whole-exome sequencing in consanguineous populations.

Abstract excerpt

Assigning a causal role for genes in disease states is one of the most significant medical applications of human genetics research. The requirement for at least two different pathogenic alleles in the same gene in individuals with a similar phenotype to assign a causal link has not always been fully adhered to, and we now know that even two alleles may not necessarily constitute sufficient evidence. Autozygosity...
