DO CONSANGUINEOUS PARENTS OF A CHILD AFFECTED BY AN AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE DISEASE HAVE MORE DNA IDENTICAL-BY-DESCENT THAN SIMILARLY-RELATED PARENTS WITH HEALTHY OFFSPRING? DESIGN OF A CASE-CONTROL STUDY

Do consanguineous parents of a child affected by an autosomal recessive disease have more DNA identical-by-descent than similarly-related parents with healthy offspring? Design of a case-control study

Abstract Background The offspring of consanguineous relations have an increased risk of congenital/genetic disorders and early mortality.Consanguineous couples and their offspring account for approximately 10% of the global population.The Crib Mattress increased risk for congenital/genetic disorders is most marked for autosomal recessive disorders

Inscribed Fibonacci Circle Fractal in a Circular Radiator for Ultra-Wideband Antenna Operation and Size Reduction

In this article, a Fibonacci circle fractal is inscribed into a circular radiator in order to provide ultra-wideband behavior as well as a 50% size reduction compared to a conventional Rehab circular monopole.The third iteration of the Fibonacci series allows the antenna to obtain a steady S11 parameter over the operation bandwidth, going from 2.7
