Abstract

Purpose Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for molecular disorders requires the construction of parental haplotypes. Classically, haplotype resolution (“phasing”) is obtained by genotyping multiple polymorphic markers in both parents and at least one additional relative. However, this process is time-consuming, and immediate family members are not always available. The recent availability of massive genomic data for many populations promises to eliminate the needs for developing family-specific assays and for recruiting additional family members. In this study, we aimed to validate population-assisted haplotype phasing for PGD.
