Abstract

Runs in the Family The power to detect mutations involved in disease by genome sequencing is enhanced when combined with the ability to discover specific mutations that may have arisen between offspring and parents. Roach et al. (p. 636 , published online 10 March) present the sequence of a family with two offspring affected with two genetic disorders: Miller syndrome and primary ciliary dyskinesia. Sequence analysis of the children and their parents not only showed that the intergenerational mutation rate was lower than anticipated but also revealed recombination sites and the occurrence of rare polymorphisms.
