Parental exome analysis identifies shared carrier status for a second recessive disorder in couples with an affected child.

Abstract excerpt

Consanguinity, commonplace in many regions around the globe, is associated with an increased risk of autosomal recessive (AR) genetic disorders. Consequently, consanguineous couples undergoing preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for one Mendelian disorder may be at increased risk for a child with a second, unrelated AR genetic disorder. We examined the yield of exome analysis for carrier screening of...
