In patient 1, ROH were identified using HomozygosityMapper and applying default settings (32 (link)). ROH of less than 3 kb adjacent to each other were merged manually, reducing ROH from 71 to 67. In patient 2, ROH were initially mapped by genome–wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip analysis (HumanCytoSNP-12 BeadChip platform; Illumina). ROH (> 1 Mb) were identified using PLINK software (33 (link)) integrated in ViVar (34 (link)) and ranked according to length and number of consecutive homozygous SNPs. For both patients 1 and 2, ROH were determined with AutoMap (35 (link)) using VCF files from both patients (hg38). After identification of individual ROH, shared ROH (based on coordinates) were determined (Figure 2C and Supplemental Table 1). To define the shared ROH on chromosome 6 and the common haplotype containing the CEP162 variant, all WES variants on chromosome 6 were considered, irrespective of their zygosity (Figure 2C).
