TAKE HOME MESSAGE We should be careful in SA of using IMD incidence data from other countries or anecdotal evidence to direct how we employ limited resources in the field of rare diseases. These data increasingly support our opinion that founder mutations and not consanguinity are responsible for the large proportion of recessive IMDs that we diagnose.
