Discovery of runs-of-homozygosity diplotype clusters and their associations with diseases in UK Biobank
2020-10-27
Abstract excerpt
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) segments, contiguous homozygous regions in a genome were traditionally linked to families and inbred populations. However, a growing literature suggests that ROHs are ubiquitous in outbred populations. Still, most existing genetic studies of ROH in populations are limited to aggregated ROH content across the genome, which does not offer the resolution for mapping causal loci. This limita...
