    <p>Probabilities are calculated for a model of two recessive diseases, each being caused by a single fully penetrant locus with identical susceptibility allele frequency, q, and both loci being unlinked. <b>(A)</b> Log<sub>10</sub> value of the probability to observe two recessive diseases in a single family by chance as a function of consanguinity level <i>F</i><sub><i>I</i></sub> in the general population and the same risk allele frequency, q, at both unlinked loci. <b>(B)</b> Log<sub>10</sub> value of the increase in the co-occurrence probability due to consanguinity compared to the non-consanguineous case (<i>F</i><sub><i>I</i></sub> = 0). Probabilities and allele frequencies are depicted using their decadic logarithm (log<sub>10</sub>). For example, when assuming values of <i>F</i><sub><i>I</i></sub> = 0.01 and q = 0.001 = 10<sup>−3</sup>, the two diseases will jointly occur in a single family with a probability of roughly 10<sup>−10</sup>, which equals approximately an 10<sup>2</sup> = 100-fold increase in probability in comparison to a non-consanguineous population.</p

    <p>All patients exhibiting symptoms of HHR are homozygous for the mutation <i>SLC34A3</i> p.G196R (c.586G>A NM_080877.2), whereas all patients expressing symptoms of CM are homozygous for the mutation <i>SEPN1</i> p.G239R (c.715G>A NM_206926.1). Therefore, patients II-2 and II-7 present features of both diseases. Arrows indicate index patients. Abbreviations: HHR = Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets; CM = congenital myopathy.</p
