Abstract
The invention generally relates to methods for determining carrier status with respect to a condition or disease. In certain embodiments, the method involves exposing a sample to a plurality of molecular inversion probes capable of capturing DNA from at least one genomic region suspected of having an altered copy number and at least one internal control DNA known or suspected to have a stable copy number, capturing and sequencing DNA that binds to the molecular inversion probes, and determining a copy number state of the at least one genomic region based on the sequence results.
