Family Trio Analysis

NGS technology of family trio analysis offers a powerful approach for identifying causal variations for inherited diseases. Trio analysis can identify variants inherited from the parents. For example, if a variant appears only in the mother, and the father and child do not carry that variant, it is called a maternal variant. The most important inheritance type in this analysis is de novo variant. If the variant occurs in the offspring but is not present in either of the parent, it is termed as a de novo variant. The possibility of pathogenicity of de novo variations is generally high. ACMG guideline has two criteria for this. One of them is PM6 and the other one is PS2. PS2 criterion is used if the parents prove that they are the biological parents of the child but PM6 does not need that confirmation, because of that while PS2 represents strong pathogenicity, PM6 represents moderate.

When entering the data, the user must indicate to the system which sample belongs to whom. This information will be considered confirmation for PS2 ACMG criteria by Massive Analyser.
