Table 1. Variant filtering identifies WDR62 as the causative gene for MCSG.
Variant filtering identifies a single gene, WDR62, disrupted in two families with MCSG. Variants were filtered to remove common polymorphisms and then annotated to highlight variants with functional splicing or coding implications, reducing the number of candidate mutations in each individual to five in LIS-903 and seven in LIS-2602. Of these candidates, only one gene, WDR62, was disrupted in both families.
