Summary of cases with reported or possible diagnoses upon reanalysis.

Case Phenotype Potential diagnostic gene (RefSeq transcript ID) Potential diagnostic variant(s) Zygosity (inheritance) Potential diagnosis Classification Outcome (reason not reported) Resultant changes in medical care Changes between initial analysis and reanalysis
6009 Small for gestational age and failure to thrive, congenital heart defects, bilateral ectrodactyly IGF2 (NM_001127598.1) c.267C>A, p.(Cys89*) Heterozygous (paternally phased de novo mutation) Silver–Russell syndrome P Reported Assessment of renal and hepatic function, blood pressure. Avoidance of metronizadole. Consideration of baclofen, carbidopa/levodopa Correction of manual data labeling error. 2016 classification of this variant as pathogenic (GeneDx; ClinVar accession SCV000491643.1)

Subsequent functional testing of patient alpha glucosidase, with results in low-normal range

6081 Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, micrognathia, desaturations, parenchymal dysplasia, cortical dysplasia, bilateral clubfeet, suspected congenital knee dislocation, uterine growth restriction B3GALT6 (NM_080605.3) c.122C>T, p.(Ala41Val); c.950C>T p.(Pro317Leu) Heterozygous (maternal); heterozygous (paternal) Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, spondylodysplastic type 2 VUS; VUS Queue for periodic reanalysis (VUS, unclear phenotypic matching) N/A

P Pathogenic, LP Likely Pathogenic, VUS Variant of Uncertain Significance.
