Abstract excerpt
The clinically and genetically heterogenous foetal akinesias have low rates of genetic diagnosis. Exome sequencing of two siblings with phenotypic lethal multiple pterygium syndrome identified compound heterozygozity for a known splice site mutation (c.691+2T>C) and a novel missense mutation (c.956A>G; p.His319Arg) in glycogen branching enzyme 1 (GBE1). GBE1 mutations cause glycogen storage disease IV (GSD IV),...
