India has a rich resource of patients with rare single gene diseases, owing to the large population and practice of consanguineous marriages. This provides a unique opportunity for identification of novel genes for various known, but deviating from existing literature, as well as unexplained inherited phenotypes which in turn can help in better prenatal diagnosis and management of these diseases
