Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Consanguineous families have a relatively high prevalence of genetic disorders caused by bi-allelic mutations in recessive genes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of a consanguinity-based exome sequencing approach to capturing genetic mutations in inherited retinal dystrophy families with consanguineous marriages. METHODS: Ten unrelated consanguineous families with a...
