Abstract excerpt
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the phenotypic variability between parent and offspring carrying the same genomic imbalance, including unmasking of a recessive variant by a chromosomal deletion. Here, 19 patients with neurodevelopmental disorders harboring a rare deletion inherited from a healthy parent were investigated by whole-exome sequencing to search for SNV on the contralateral segment....
