We present the case of a 19-year-old man with a growth disorder, which was undefined, despite extensive evaluation. Whole exome sequencing demonstrated a novel homozygous frameshift mutation in CUL7, one of the causative genes of 3-M syndrome. We discuss the utility of exome sequencing in diagnosing rare disorders.
我们报告了一例 19 岁男性生长障碍病例,尽管进行了广泛评估,但仍未明确病因。全外显子组测序显示 CUL7 中的一个新型纯合移码突变,CUL7 是 3-M 综合征的致病基因之一。我们讨论了外显子组测序在诊断罕见疾病中的应用。
