Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Estimating the total allele frequency of all pathogenic alleles of an autosomal recessive disease is not possible if only mutational data of a sample of affected individuals are available. However, if the affected individuals come from a population where consanguinity is not uncommon, this total allele frequency can be estimated by additionally using the positive individual inbreeding coefficients or...
