Variability in laboratory reporting practices for regions of homozygosity indicating parental relatedness as identified by SNP microarray testing

Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarrays are capable of detecting regions of homozygosity (ROH) that can suggest parental consanguinity or incest. This study was designed to describe the ...
