Abstract excerpt
Noncoding and synonymous coding variants that exert their effects via alternative splicing are increasingly recognized as an important category of disease-causing variants. In this report, we describe two siblings who presented with hypotonia, profound developmental delays, and seizures. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the proband at 5 yr showed diffuse cerebral and cerebellar white matter volume loss....
