Autozygome sequencing expands the horizon of human knockout research and provides novel insights into human phenotypic variation.

The use of autozygosity as a mapping tool in the search for autosomal recessive disease genes is well established. We hypothesized that autozygosity not only unmasks the recessiveness of disease causing variants, but can also reveal natural knockouts of genes with less obvious phenotypic consequence...
