The effect of consanguinity on identifying universal induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) donors, i.e., homozygous for the major human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci, is unknown. The discovery sample size was calculated in a consanguineous population using a method (1qF) based on the inbreeding coefficient. The result was orders of magnitude smaller compared to the standard method.
血缘关系对鉴定通用诱导多能干细胞 (iPSC) 供体(即 HLA 主要基因座纯合子)的影响尚不清楚。使用基于近交系数的方法 (1qF) 在血缘关系人群中计算了发现样本量。与标准方法相比,结果小了几个数量级。
