segregatr: Segregation Analysis for Identifying Pathogenic Variants
Description
An implementation of the full-likelihood Bayes factor (FLB) for evaluating segregation evidence in clinical medical genetics. The method was introduced by Thompson et al. (2003), and further popularised by Bayrak-Toydemir et al. (2008). This implementation allows custom penetrance values and liability classes, and includes specialised pedigree visualisations.
