Abstract excerpt
Transcriptome analysis can improve the diagnostic yield for neurodevelopmental disorders. We applied RNA-seq using urine-derived cells (UDCs) to a family with two affected brothers with a muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Exome sequencing identified a maternally inherited heterozygous B3GALNT2 splice-site variant (NM_152490.5:c.261-2A>G) but no second pathogenic allele. UDCs...
