Detection of distant familial relatedness in biobanks for identification of undiagnosed carriers of a Mendelian disease variant: application to Long QT Syndrome https://t.co/Q677xqUxzu #medRxiv

[Jennifer “Piper” Below @piperbelow]

The best way I can imagine to end a week: a tweet from @EimearEKenny complimenting our work leveraging patterns of relatedness to find rare variant carriers and understand their effects! ❤️

[Eimear Kenny @EimearEKenny]

Really nice work from ⁦@piperbelow⁩ group on using long shared haplotypes to detect undiagnosed carriers of a long QT syndrome, and refine estimates of penetrance at a population-scale.
