Show abstract
We characterize the clinical utility and economic benefits of a comprehensive pan-ethnic carrier screening panel that spans 282 monogenic disease conditions in a large, diverse population of 397,540 reproductive health patients. For 142,049 of these patients, we were able to accurately estimate genetic ancestries across 7 major population groups. We examined individual carrier and at-risk carrier couple (ARCC) rates with respect to self-reported and genetic ancestries across ancestry-specific and pan-ethnic panels. Our results show that this comprehensive panel identified >10-times the ARCCs compared with a two-gene pan-ethnic panel and provided a substantial benefit over ancestry-specific screening panels across the major population groups. Finally, we generated a universal cost-of-care model across the monogenic disease conditions represented on the comprehensive pan-ethnic carrier screening panel to demonstrate potential healthcare savings in addition to the demonstrated clinical benefits that could be realized adopting this type of panel as standard of care for all.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
