Development and validation of an expanded carrier screen that optimizes sensitivity via full-exon sequencing and panel-wide copy-number-variant identification

2017-08-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Purpose</h4> By identifying pathogenic variants across hundreds of genes, expanded carrier screening (ECS) enables prospective parents to assess risk of transmitting an autosomal recessive or X-linked condition. Detection of at-risk couples depends on the number of conditions tested, the diseases’ respective prevalences, and the screen’s sensitivity for identifying disease-causing variants....
