HDR: a statistical two-step approach successfully identifies disease genes in autosomal recessive families.

Abstract excerpt

In the search for sequence variants underlying disease, commonly applied filtering steps usually result in a number of candidate variants that cannot further be narrowed down. In autosomal recessive families, disease usually occurs only in one generation so that genetic linkage analysis is unlikely to help. Because homozygous recessive mutations tend to be inherited together with flanking homozygous variants, we...
