Abstract excerpt
The recent introduction of genome sequencing in genetic analysis has led to the identification of pathogenic variants located in deep introns. Recently, several new tools have emerged to predict the impact of variants on splicing. Here, we present a Japanese boy of Joubert syndrome with biallelic TCTN2 variants. Exome sequencing identified only a heterozygous maternal nonsense TCTN2 variant...
