Uniparental isodisomy caused autosomal recessive diseases: NGS‐based analysis allows the concurrent detection of homogenous variants and copy‐neutral loss of heterozygosity

Abstract Background Uniparental disomy (UPD) leading to autosomal recessive (AR) diseases is rare. We found an unusual homozygous state in two nonconsanguineous families, and only one parent in each family was a heterozygote. Methods Two patients with homozygosity for pathogenic variants were reveal...
