Identification of a pathogenic deep intronic variant in ATRX ends a diagnostic odyssey
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDICAL GENETICS(2024)
Abstract
Variation in the non-coding genome is being increasingly recognized to be involved in monogenic disease etiology. However, the interpretation of non-coding variation is complicated by a lack of understanding of how noncoding genetic elements function. Additional lines of evidence are therefore needed to recognize non-coding variants as pathogenic. We here present a case where a collective body of evidence resulted in the identification and conclusive classification of a pathogenic deep intronic variant in ATRX. This report demonstrates the utility of a multi-platform approach in aiding the identification of pathogenic variants outside coding regions. Furthermore, it marks the first reported instance of a deep intronic pathogenic variant in ATRX.
