Counseling after WES/WGS presents challenges for healthcare providers as the availability of consumer-driven is rapidly increasing. The present report uncovers an extremely rare homozygous nonsense mutation c. 1639C>T (p.Gln547Ter) in PRX gene of a patient with heterogeneous manifestation of Charcot-Marie-Tooth. Such studies can help to conduct genetic counseling and subsequently more accurate support to individual cases with neuro-genetic conditions and solved through whole genome/exome-wide screening.
随着消费者驱动的基因检测服务的可用性迅速增加,全外显子组测序(WES)/全基因组测序(WGS)后的咨询对医疗服务提供者构成了挑战。本报告揭示了一名患有夏科-马里-图斯病(Charcot-Marie-Tooth)异质性表现患者的PRX基因中存在一种极其罕见的纯合无义突变c.1639C>T(p.Gln547Ter)。此类研究有助于进行遗传咨询,并随后为患有神经遗传病的个体病例提供更准确的支持,且可通过全基因组/外显子组范围的筛查来解决。
