Filtering for compound heterozygous sequence variants in non-consanguineous pedigrees.

The identification of disease-causing mutations in next-generation sequencing (NGS) data requires efficient filtering techniques. In patients with rare recessive diseases, compound heterozygosity of pathogenic mutations is the most likely inheritance model if the parents are non-consanguineous. We d...
