Whole‐exome sequencing identified a novel variant in an Iranian patient affected by pycnodysostosis

摘要

Whole‐exome sequencing (WES) has emerged as a successful diagnostic tool in molecular genetics laboratories worldwide. In this study, we aimed to find the potential genetic cause of skeletal disease, a heterogeneous disease, revealing the obvious short stature phenotype. In an Iranian family, we used solo‐WES in a suspected patient to decipher the potential genetic cause(s).
