A discarded synonymous variant in NPHP3 explains nephronophthisis and congenital hepatic fibrosis in several families

Abstract excerpt

Half of patients with a ciliopathy syndrome remain unsolved after initial analysis of whole exome sequencing (WES) data, highlighting the need for improved variant filtering and annotation. By candidate gene curation of WES data, combined with homozygosity mapping, we detected a homozygous predicted synonymous allele in NPHP3 in two children with hepatorenal fibrocystic disease from a consanguineous family....
