Abstract excerpt
When a potential disease-causing variant is detected in a proband, parental testing is used to determine the mode of inheritance. This study demonstrates that next-generation sequencing (NGS) is uniquely well suited for parental testing, in particular because of its ability to detect clinically relevant germline mosaicism. Parental variant testing by NGS was performed in a clinical laboratory for 1 year. The...
