Identification of a Novel Homozygous Mutation in PRDM12 Gene in a Patient with Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy Type VIII.

Hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy type VIII (HSAN-VIII) is a rare genetic disease that occurs due to mutations in the PRDM12 gene. Here, we describe a novel homozygous mutation c.826_840dupTGCAACCGCCGCTTC (p.Cys276_Phe280dup) on exon 5 in the PRDM12 gene identified by WES and confirmed using Sanger sequencing method.
