Abstract excerpt
Long continuous stretches of homozygosity (LCSH) are associated with risk of recessive disorders. Though LCSH can be detected by SNP microarrays, additional testing is necessary to clarify the clinical significance. This study is to assess the yield of additional exome sequencing (ES) after LCSH detection and inform the likelihood of eventual diagnosis. In 2226 patients referred to SNP microarrays, 35 patients...
