Heterozygous copy number variation implicating MFRP found by whole genome sequencing. The affected patient in family 7 (F7) with MCOP and RP-like changes carries a partial MFRP deletion. (A) Left panel: IGV plot generated by whole genome sequencing, showing a heterozygous deletion of 6.2 kilobases (kb) and an insertion of 7 base pairs (bps) (GRCh37 [hg19] chr11:119, 217, 130_119, 223, 310delinsACCACTA, NM_031433.3 MFRP: c.−6087_54 +40 delinsTAGTGGT; p.?). Highlighted red read pairs have an unusually large insert size suggestive of a large deletion, and the read depth is reduced across the heterozygous deletion. The deletion spans exon 1 of MFRP probably abolishing transcription. Right panel: schematic representation of the deletion. (B) The deletion was confirmed by junction PCR and Sanger sequencing. The arrows in the schematic left panel represent the positions of the primers.
