Definition of variants (e.g., font color) as per Table 4 and Methods. CC: clinical correlation.
Points are added including additional variants shown in subsequent rows.
This was the only gene identified in our analysis for metabolic disorders. The variants are considered as Key by virtue of having two in trans Qualifying variants in the same gene.
The literature reports this gene as autosomal recessive, and thus the variants in this gene likely represent carrier status at most. However, COQ4 has a dominant form, thus the inclusion of these variants in this table.
This homozygous 144-base-pair deletion in the SH3TC2 gene removes almost the entire intron, right up to the intron-exon border on the 3′ end. This should affect splicing, and thus is a good candidate for disease association via loss-of-function.
A second de novo variant of uncertain significance was identified in the same patient with PPM1D-related disease: MEF2D c.529C > T, p.Arg177Trp. This gene encodes a transcription factor affecting dendritic spine density in a rat model (32), thus this may be incidental to her CVS.
