Purpose: Carrier screening programs that identify the presence of known mutations have been effective for reducing the incidence of autosomal recessive conditions in the Ashkenazi Jewish population and other populations. Yet, these programs have not realized their full potential. Furthermore, many known autosomal recessive and dominant conditions are not screened for and the molecular basis of other conditions for which screening might be offered is unknown. Methods: Through literature review and annotation of full sequenced genomes from healthy individuals, we expanded the list of mutations. Mutations were identified in a sample of 128 fully sequenced Ashkenazi Jewish genomes that were filtered through clinical databases and curated manually for clinical validity and utility using the American College of Medical Genetics scoring (ACMG) system. Other known mutations were identified through literature review. Results: A panel of 203 mutations was identified for 92 autosomal recessive, 24 autosomal dominant, and 4 X-linked disorders. Conclusion: Screening for a broader range of disorders could not only further reduce the incidence of autosomal recessive disorders, but could also offer the benefits of early or presymptomatic diagnosis.
