Case Report: Novel compound heterozygous TPRKB variants cause Galloway-Mowat syndrome.

Background: Galloway-Mowat syndrome (GAMOS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by early-onset nephrotic syndrome and microcephaly with central nervous system abnormalities. Pathogenic variants in genes encoding kinase, endopeptidase, and other proteins of small size (KEOPS) complex subunits cause GAMOS. The subunit TPRKB (TP53RK binding protein) has been reported in only two patients with GAMOS with homozygous missense variants. Clinical report: Herein, we described a three-year-old male with GAMOS. He exhibited developmental delay, developmental regression, microcephaly, distinctive facial features, skeletal abnormalities, and epilepsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed progressive brain atrophy, delayed myelination, T2-hypointense signals in the thalamus, and multiple intracranial abnormal signals on diffusion-weighted imaging. He presented with relapsing nephrotic proteinuria exacerbated by upper respiratory tract infections and progressive renal function decline. Exome sequencing identified compound heterozygous missense and frameshift variants in TPRKB: c.224dup, p.(Ser76IlefsTer3) and c.247C>T, p.(Leu83Phe). Conclusions: Our study supports that pathogenic TPRKB variants cause KEOPS complex-related GAMOS.

Cerebellar Ataxia With Neuropathy and Vestibular Areflexia Syndrome Due to Replication Factor C Subunit 1 Gene Repeat Expansion.

ABSTRACT: A 56-year-old man was born to consanguineous parents. He experienced slow-progressing sensory disturbances in the upper extremities. T1-weighted images showed cerebellar atrophy. 123I-IMP SPECT revealed reduced cerebral blood flow in the cerebellum. 123I-FP-CIT SPECT showed low uptake of dopamine transporter in the bilateral tail of the striatum. 123I-MIBG scintigraphy shows a decreased heart-to-mediastinum ratio. Flanking polymerase chain reaction suggested biallelic repeat expansion in intron 2 of RFC1, and subsequent repeat-primed polymerase chain reaction revealed ACAGG repeat expansion. Thus, he was diagnosed as cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and vestibular areflexia syndrome.

Novel compound heterozygous ATP1A2 variants in a patient with fetal akinesia/hypokinesia sequence.

ATP1A2 encodes a subunit of sodium/potassium-transporting adenosine triphosphatase (Na+ /K+ -ATPase). Heterozygous pathogenic variants of ATP1A2 cause familial hemiplegic migraine, alternating hemiplegia of childhood, and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. Biallelic loss-of-function variants in ATP1A2 lead to fetal akinesia, respiratory insufficiency, microcephaly, polymicrogyria, and dysmorphic facies, resulting in fetal death. Here, we describe a patient with compound heterozygous ATP1A2 variants consisting of missense and nonsense variants. He survived after birth with brain malformations and the fetal akinesia/hypokinesia sequence. We report a novel type of compound heterozygous variant that might extend the disease spectrum of ATP1A2.

Splicing variant of WDR37 in a case of Neurooculocardiogenitourinary syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Neurooculocardiogenitourinary syndrome (NOCGUS), a multisystemic syndrome characterized by motor disorder, intellectual disability, seizures, abnormal brain structure, ocular diseases, and cardiac diseases, has been reported with missense variant of WD repeat-containing protein 37 (WDR37) in humans. This report aimed to identify the cause of NOCGUS in an affected patient. CASE PRESENTATION: We identified a de novo intronic 4-bp deletion of WDR37, c.727-27_727-24del, which were predicted to cause abnormal splicing by SpliceAI, in the patient with NOCGUS. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed intron retention of 63 base pairs before exon 10 in messenger RNA, which was predicted to insert 21 additional aberrant amino acids (p.S242_I243insLCQKKLKISRKCLFWPSLWQQ). The patient had novel phenotypes, anal atresia, and polycystic kidney, in addition to intellectual disability, seizures, cerebellar vermian anomaly, and coloboma, which are typical in NOCGUS. We did not observe motor impairments or cardiovascular anomalies. CONCLUSION: This is the first reported case of NOCGUS with the splicing variant of WDR37, which manifests with distinctive but variable features. Our findings may expand a possible phenotypic expression of NOCGUS.

TBX5 pathogenic variant in a patient with congenital heart defect and tracheal stenosis.

Congenital tracheal stenosis is a rare life-threatening disorder caused by narrow O-shaped tracheal ring without smooth muscle. Its underlying genetic cause has not been elucidated. We performed whole exome sequencing in a patient with congenital tracheal stenosis and congenital heart defect, and identified a de novo pathogenic TBX5 variant (NM_181486.4:c.680T>C, p.(Ile227Thr)). The Ile227Thr-TBX5 protein was predicted to have a decreased stability by in silico protein structural analyses, and was shown to have a significantly reduced activity for the NPPA promoter by luciferase assay. The results, together with the expression of mouse Tbx5 in the lung and trachea and the development of tracheal cartilage dysplasia in the lung-specific Tbx5 null mice, imply the relevance of TBX5 pathogenic variants to congenital tracheal stenosis.

Sotos syndrome with marked overgrowth in three Japanese patients with heterozygous likely pathogenic NSD1 variants: case reports with review of literature.

We report three Japanese patients with Sotos syndrome accompanied by marked overgrowth, i.e., a 2 8/12-year-old boy with a height of 105.2 cm (+4.4 SD) (patient 1), the mother of patient 1 with a height of 180.8 cm (+4.1 SD) (patient 2), and a 12 10/12-year-old girl with a height of 189.4 cm (+6.3 SD) (patient 3). In addition to the marked overgrowth (tall stature), patients 1-3 exhibited Sotos syndrome-compatible macrocephaly and characteristic features, whereas intellectual and developmental disabilities remained at a borderline level in patient 1 and were apparently absent from patients 2 and 3. Thus, whole exome sequencing was performed to confirm the diagnosis, revealing a likely pathogenic c.6356A>G:p.(Asp2119Gly) variant in NSD1 of patients 1 and 2, and a likely pathogenic c.6599dupT:p.(Ser2201Valfs*4) variant in NSD1 of patient 3 (NM_022455.5). The results, in conjunction with the previously reported data in nine patients with marked overgrowth (≥4.0 SD), imply that several patients with Sotos syndrome have extreme tall stature even in adulthood. Thus, it is recommended to examine NSD1 in patients with marked overgrowth as the salient feature.

Two novel cases of biallelic SMPD4 variants with brain structural abnormalities.

Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 4 (SMPD4) encodes a member of the Mg2+-dependent, neutral sphingomyelinase family that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond of sphingomyelin to form phosphorylcholine and ceramide. Recent studies have revealed that biallelic loss-of-function variants of SMPD4 cause syndromic neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by microcephaly, congenital arthrogryposis, and structural brain anomalies. In this study, three novel loss-of-function SMPD4 variants were identified using exome sequencing (ES) in two independent patients with developmental delays, microcephaly, seizures, and brain structural abnormalities. Patient 1 had a homozygous c.740_741del, p.(Val247Glufs*21) variant and showed profound intellectual disability, hepatomegaly, a simplified gyral pattern, and a thin corpus callosum without congenital dysmorphic features. Patient 2 had a compound heterozygous nonsense c.2124_2125del, p.(Phe709*) variant and splice site c.1188+2dup variant. RNA analysis revealed that the c.1188+2dup variant caused exon 13 skipping, leading to a frameshift (p.Ala406Ser*6). In vitro transcription analysis using minigene system suggested that mRNA transcribed from mutant allele may be degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay system. He exhibited diverse manifestations, including growth defects, muscle hypotonia, respiratory distress, arthrogryposis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, sensorineural hearing loss, facial dysmorphism, and various brain abnormalities, including cerebral atrophy, hypomyelination, and cerebellar hypoplasia. Here, we review previous literatures and discuss the phenotypic diversity of SMPD4-related disorders.

RNA sequencing and target long-read sequencing reveal an intronic transposon insertion causing aberrant splicing.

More than half of cases with suspected genetic disorders remain unsolved by genetic analysis using short-read sequencing such as exome sequencing (ES) and genome sequencing (GS). RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and long-read sequencing (LRS) are useful for interpretation of candidate variants and detection of structural variants containing repeat sequences, respectively. Recently, adaptive sampling on nanopore sequencers enables target LRS more easily. Here, we present a Japanese girl with premature chromatid separation (PCS)/mosaic variegated aneuploidy (MVA) syndrome. ES detected a known pathogenic maternal heterozygous variant (c.1402-5A>G) in intron 10 of BUB1B (NM_001211.6), a known responsive gene for PCS/MVA syndrome with autosomal recessive inheritance. Minigene splicing assay revealed that almost all transcripts from the c.1402-5G allele have mis-splicing with 4-bp insertion. GS could not detect another pathogenic variant, while RNA-seq revealed abnormal reads in intron 2. To extensively explore variants in intron 2, we performed adaptive sampling and identified a paternal 3.0 kb insertion. Consensus sequence of 16 reads spanning the insertion showed that the insertion consists of Alu and SVA elements. Realignment of RNA-seq reads to the new reference sequence containing the insertion revealed that 16 reads have 5' splice site within the insertion and 3' splice site at exon 3, demonstrating causal relationship between the insertion and aberrant splicing. In addition, immunoblotting showed severely diminished BUB1B protein level in patient derived cells. These data suggest that detection of transcriptomic abnormalities by RNA-seq can be a clue for identifying pathogenic variants, and determination of insert sequences is one of merits of LRS.

Diagnostic MR imaging features of hypomyelination of early myelinating structures: A case report.

Hypomyelination of early myelinating structures (HEMS) has recently been defined as a new genetic disorder accompanied by clinical and MR imaging characteristics. However, no studies have focused on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) findings of HEMS. We would like to propose a "sheep sign," which is formed by DWI hyperintensity in the medial medullary lamina along with alternating high-low-high (HLH) intensity stripes in the posterior limb of the internal capsule. We believe the presence of the "sheep sign" on DWI in combination with alternating HLH intensity stripes may be a valuable tool for diagnosing HEMS.

A case of infantile spasms with three possibly pathogenic de novo missense variants in NF1 and GABBR1.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common hereditary neurocutaneous disorders. Here, we report a unique case of a patient with typical NF1 findings and infantile spasms who had three possibly pathogenic de novo variants, c.3586C>T, p.(Leu1196Phe) and c.3590C>T, p.(Ala1197Val) in NF1 located in cis and c.1042G>C, p.(Ala348Pro) in GABBR1. This study contributes to our understanding of the effect of two cis variants on NF1 phenotypes and GABBR1-related neuropsychiatric disorders.

Serum steroid metabolite profiling by LC-MS/MS in two phenotypic male patients with HSD17B3 deficiency: Implications for hormonal diagnosis.

Although 17ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 (HSD17B3) deficiency is diagnosed when a testosterone/androstenedione (T/A-dione) ratio after human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) stimulation is below 0.8, this cut-off value is primarily based on hormonal data measured by conventional immunoassay (IA) in patients with feminized or ambiguous genitalia. We examined two 46,XY Japanese patients with undermasculinized genitalia including hypospadias (patient 1 and patient 2). Endocrine studies by IA showed well increased serum T value after hCG stimulation (2.91 ng/mL) and a high T/A-dione ratio (4.04) in patient 1 at 2 weeks of age and sufficiently elevated basal serum T value (2.60 ng/mL) in patient 2 at 1.5 months of age. Despite such partial androgen insensitivity syndrome-like findings, whole exome sequencing identified biallelic ″pathogenic″ or ″likely pathogenic″ variants in HSD17B3 (c .188 C>T:p.(Ala63Val) and c .194 C>T:p.(Ser65Leu) in patient 1, and c.139 A>G:p.(Met47Val) and c.672 + 1 G>A in patient 2) (NM_000197.2), and functional analysis revealed reduced HSD17B3 activities of the missense variants (∼ 43% for p.Met47Val, ∼ 14% for p.Ala63Val, and ∼ 0% for p.Ser65Leu). Thus, we investigated hCG-stimulated serum steroid metabolite profiles by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in patient 1 at 7 months of age and in patient 2 at 11 months of age as well as in five control males with idiopathic micropenis aged 1 - 8 years, and found markedly high T/A-dione ratios (12.3 in patient 1 and 5.4 in patient 2) which were, however, obviously lower than those in the control boys (25.3 - 56.1) and sufficiently increased T values comparable to those of control males. The elevated T/A-dione ratios are considered be due to the residual HSD17B3 function and the measurement by LC-MS/MS. Thus, it is recommended to establish the cut-off value for the T/A-dione ratio according to the phenotypic sex reflecting the residual function and the measurement method.

The Structural Abnormalities Are Deeply Involved in the Cause of RPGRIP1-Related Retinal Dystrophy in Japanese Patients.

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is the most severe form of inherited retinal dystrophy. RPGRIP1-related LCA accounts for 5-6% of LCA. We performed whole-exome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) on 29 patients with clinically suspected LCA and examined ophthalmic findings in patients with biallelic pathogenic variants of RPGRIP1. In addition to five previously reported cases, we identified five cases from four families with compound heterozygous RPGRIP1 variants using WGS. Five patients had null variants comprising frameshift variants, an Alu insertion, and microdeletions. A previously reported 1339 bp deletion involving exon 18 was found in four cases, and the deletion was relatively prevalent in the Japanese population (allele frequency: 0.002). Microdeletions involving exon 1 were detected in four cases. In patients with RPGRIP1 variants, visual acuity remained low, ranging from light perception to 0.2, and showed no correlation with age. In optical coherence tomography images, the ellipsoid zone (EZ) length decreased with age in all but one case of unimpaired EZ. The retinal structure was relatively preserved in all cases; however, there were cases with great differences in visual function compared to their siblings and a 56-year-old patient who still had a faint EZ line. Structural abnormalities may be important genetic causes of RPGRIP1-related retinal dystrophy in Japanese patients, and WGS was useful for detecting them.

Case report: Progressive pulmonary artery hypertension in a case of megalencephaly-capillary malformation syndrome.

Megalencephaly-capillary malformation syndrome (MCAP, OMIM # 602501) is caused by hyperactivity of the thephosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-Vakt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog (AKT)-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, which results in megalencephaly, capillary malformations, asymmetrical overgrowth, and connective tissue dysplasia. Herein, we report the case of a 7-month-old girl with MCAP due to a PIK3CA somatic mosaic variant who presented with atrial tachycardia, finally diagnosed as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Oxygen therapy and sildenafil decreased pulmonary blood pressure and improved atrial tachycardia. Previous studies reported an association between the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and abnormal pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation, which may be associated with PAH. PAH should be considered a potentially lethal complication in MCAP patients, even when no structural cardiac abnormalities are identified in the neonatal period.

A female patient with adolescent-onset progressive myoclonus epilepsy carrying a truncating MECP2 mutation.

BACKGROUND: MECP2 is a well-known causative gene for Rett syndrome but other phenotypes have also been reported. Here, we report a case of a female patient with adolescent-onset progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) carrying a novel truncating mutation in the MECP2 gene. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 29-year-old woman with infantile-onset intellectual disability of unspecified cause. She had demonstrated slow but steady development with moderate intellectual disability until the age of 16, when she started having epileptic seizures. Her epilepsy progressed intractably with multiple seizure types accompanied by myoclonus, tremor, and gradual regression. She is currently apathetic and requires extensive assistance in all aspects of life. After an extensive work-up for underlying diseases for PME turned out negative, whole-exome sequencing revealed a de novo 113-bp deletion and 3-bp insertion in MECP2, a variant of NM_004992.4:c.1099_1211delinsGGG, p.(His367Glyfs*32). CONCLUSIONS: The clinical presentation of this case was inconsistent with Rett syndrome, and the rapid regression in the patient's twenties was considered characteristic. Mutations of MECP2 may result in variable neurodevelopmental phenotypes and may also be considered a causative gene for adolescent-onset PME.

The HCN1 p.Ser399Pro variant causes epileptic encephalopathy with super-refractory status epilepticus.

HCN1 is one of four genes encoding hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels. The phenotypic spectrum associated with HCN1 variants ranges from neonatal developmental and epileptic encephalopathy to idiopathic generalized epilepsy. We report a Japanese patient with repetitive focal seizures and super-refractory status epilepticus since early infancy caused by a de novo HCN1 variant, NM_021072.4, c.1195T>C, p.(Ser399Pro). This variant might have a dominant-negative effect on channel function, leading to severe epileptic encephalopathy.

Genetic and clinical features of pediatric-onset hereditary spastic paraplegia: a single-center study in Japan.

Background and purpose: Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are a set of heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorders characterized by bilateral lower limb spasticity. They may present from infancy onwards at any time. Although next-generation sequencing has allowed the identification of many causative genes, little is known about which genes are specifically associated with pediatric-onset variants. Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated the genetic analyses, family history clinical courses, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and electrophysiologic findings of patients diagnosed with HSP in childhood at a tertiary pediatric hospital in Japan. Genetic analyses were performed using direct sequencing, disease-associated panels, and whole-exome sequencing. Results: Of the 37 patients included, 14 had a family history of HSP and 23 had a sporadic form of the disease. In 20 patients, HSP was the pure type, whereas the remaining 17 patients had complex types of HSP. Genetic data were available for 11 of the pure-type patients and 16 of those with complex types. Of these, genetic diagnoses were possible in 5 (45%) of the pure-type and 13 (81%) of the complex-type patients. SPAST variants were found in five children, KIF1A variants in four, ALS2 variants in three, SACS and L1CAM variants in two each, and an ATL1 variant in one. One child had a 10p15.3p13 duplication. Four patients with pure-type HSPs had SPAST variants and one had an ALT1 variant. The KIF1A, ALS2, SACS, and L1CAM variants and the 10p15.3p13 duplication were seen in children with complex-type HSPs, with just one complex-type patient having a SPAST variant. The identification of brain abnormalities on MRI was significantly more common among children with complex-type (11 [69%] of 16) than pure-type HSPs (one [5%] of 19) (p < 0.001). Scores on the modified Rankin Scale for Neurologic Disability were also significantly higher among children with complex-type compared with pure-type HSPs (3.5 ± 1.0 vs. 2.1 ± 0.9, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Pediatric-onset HSP was found to be sporadic and genetic in a substantial proportion of patients. The causative gene patterns differed between children with pure-type and complex-type HSPs. The causative roles of SPAST and KIF1A variants in pure-type and complex-type HSPs, respectively, should be explored further.

Incomplete hippocampal inversion in patients with mutations in genes involved in sonic hedgehog signaling.

Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathways are known to play an important role in the morphological development of the hippocampus in vivo, but their actual roles in humans have not been clarified. Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is known to be associated with germline or somatic gene mutations of Shh signaling. We hypothesized that patients with HH and mutations of Shh-related genes also show hippocampal maldevelopment and an abnormal hippocampal infolding angle (HIA). We analyzed 45 patients (age: 1-37 years) with HH who underwent stereotactic radiofrequency thermocoagulation and found Shh-related gene mutations in 20 patients. In addition, 44 pediatric patients without HH (age: 2-25 years) who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations under the same conditions during the same period were included in this study as a control group. HIA evaluated on MRI was compared between patients with gene mutations and the control group. The median HIA at the cerebral peduncle slice in patients with the gene mutation was 74.36° on the left and 76.11° on the right, and these values were significantly smaller than the corresponding values in the control group (80.46° and 80.56°, respectively, p < 0.01). Thus, mutations of Shh-related genes were correlated to incomplete hippocampal inversion. The HIA, particularly at the cerebral peduncle slice, is a potential indicator of abnormalities of the Shh-signaling pathway.

Microdeletion at ESR1 Intron 6 (DEL_6_75504) Is a Susceptibility Factor for Cryptorchidism and Hypospadias.

CONTEXT: We have previously reported that a specific "AGATC" haplotype in a >34 kb tight linkage disequilibrium (LD) block within ESR1 is strongly associated with cryptorchidism and hypospadias in Japanese boys. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the true susceptibility factor for cryptorchidism and hypospadias linked to the "AGATC" haplotype. METHODS: We performed various molecular studies in hitherto unreported 230 Italian boys (80 with cryptorchidism and 150 with normal genitalia) and previously reported and newly recruited 415 Japanese boys (149 with cryptorchidism, 141 with hypospadias, and 125 with normal genitalia). We also performed ESR1 expression analyses using breast cancer-derived MCF-7 cells. RESULTS: Haplotype analysis revealed the LD block and positive association of the "AGATC" haplotype with cryptorchidism in Italian boys. Whole genome sequencing identified an identical 2249-bp microdeletion (ΔESR1) generated by a microhomology-mediated replication error in both Japanese and Italian boys with the specific haplotype. ΔESR1 was found to be strongly associated with cryptorchidism and hypospadias by Cochran-Armitage trend test and was revealed to show nearly absolute LD with the "AGATC" haplotype. ESR1 expression was upregulated in MCF-7 cells with a homozygous deletion encompassing ΔESR1 and those with a homozygous deletion involving a CTCF-binding site within ΔESR1. CONCLUSION: The results reveal that ΔESR1, which has been registered as "DEL_6_75504" in gnomAD SVs v2.1, is the true susceptibility factor for cryptorchidism and hypospadias. It appears that ΔESR1 was produced in a single ancestral founder of modern humans and has been maintained within the genome of multiple ethnic groups by selection.

A deep intronic TCTN2 variant activating a cryptic exon predicted by SpliceRover in a patient with Joubert syndrome.

The recent introduction of genome sequencing in genetic analysis has led to the identification of pathogenic variants located in deep introns. Recently, several new tools have emerged to predict the impact of variants on splicing. Here, we present a Japanese boy of Joubert syndrome with biallelic TCTN2 variants. Exome sequencing identified only a heterozygous maternal nonsense TCTN2 variant (NM_024809.5:c.916C >T, p.(Gln306Ter)). Subsequent genome sequencing identified a deep intronic variant (c.1033+423G>A) inherited from his father. The machine learning algorithms SpliceAI, Squirls, and Pangolin were unable to predict alterations in splicing by the c.1033+423G>A variant. SpliceRover, a tool for splice site prediction using FASTA sequence, was able to detect a cryptic exon which was 85-bp away from the variant and within the inverted Alu sequence while SpliceRover scores for these splice sites showed slight increase (donor) or decrease (acceptor) between the reference and mutant sequences. RNA sequencing and RT-PCR using urinary cells confirmed inclusion of the cryptic exon. The patient showed major symptoms of TCTN2-related disorders such as developmental delay, dysmorphic facial features and polydactyly. He also showed uncommon features such as retinal dystrophy, exotropia, abnormal pattern of respiration, and periventricular heterotopia, confirming these as one of features of TCTN2-related disorders. Our study highlights usefulness of genome sequencing and RNA sequencing using urinary cells for molecular diagnosis of genetic disorders and suggests that database of cryptic splice sites predicted in introns by SpliceRover using the reference sequences can be helpful in extracting candidate variants from large numbers of intronic variants in genome sequencing.

Identification of pathogenic deep intronic variant and exonic LINE-1 insertion in a patient with Meckel syndrome.

Biallelic CC2D2A variants are associated with a wide range of neurodevelopmental disorders including Meckel syndrome. Here we report a Japanese girl with Meckel syndrome harboring a pathogenic deep intronic variant (NM_001378615.1:c.1149+3569A>G) and an exonic LINE-1 insertion, which was predicted to cause aberrant splicing by SpliceAI and was detected by TEMP2 program, respectively. RNA analysis using urine-derived cells (UDCs) showed retention of 149-bp intronic sequences, leading to frameshift. Immunoblotting showed marked reduction of CC2D2A protein in the patient. Our report demonstrated that utilization of transposon detection tool and functional analysis using UDCs will increase diagnostic yield of genome sequencing.
