Diagnostic exome sequencing identifies GLI2 haploinsufficiency and chromosome 20 uniparental disomy in a patient with developmental anomalies

Abstract

Clinical diagnostic exome sequencing (DES) is currently infrequently used for detecting uniparental disomy (UPD). We present a patient with a dual diagnosis of GLI2 haploinsufficiency as well as UPD of chromosome 20, both identified through DES. We therefore recommend routine UPD analysis during DES to identify this genetic aberration.
