We report a case of Wilson disease (WD) with dilated cardiomyopathy in which whole-genome sequencing (WGS) revealed the rare co-occurrence of two novel compound heterozygous ATP7B pathogenic variants (NM_001005918.3:c.2250del/p.N751Tfs*9 and c.3496C>T/p.L1166F) and a known FLNC pathogenic variant. Our results highlight the usefulness of WGS, even in the diagnosis of well-characterized genetic diseases such as WD.
我们报告了一例患有扩张型心肌病的威尔逊病(WD)病例,其中全基因组测序(WGS)显示罕见地同时出现了两个新的复合杂合ATP7B致病变体(NM_001005918.3:c.2250del/p.N751Tfs*9和c.3496C>T/p.L1166F)以及一个已知的FLNC致病变体。我们的结果强调了WGS的实用性,即使在诊断像WD这样特征明确的遗传疾病时也是如此。
