| Popis: | The number and distribution of recessive alleles in the population for various diseases are not known at genome-wide-scale. Based on 6447 exome-sequences of healthy, genetically-unrelated Europeans of two distinct ancestries, we estimate that every individual is a carrier of at least 2 pathogenic variants in currently known autosomal recessive (AR) genes, and that 0.8-1% of European couples are at-risk of having a child affected with a severe AR genetic disorder. This risk is 16.5-fold higher for first cousins, but is significantly more increased for skeletal disorders and intellectual disabilities due to their distinct genetic architecture. |
