| Description | The diagnosis of rare diseases with multisystem manifestations can constitute a difficult process that delays the determination of the underlying cause. Whole exome sequencing (WES) provides a suitable option to examine multiple target genes associated with several disorders that display common features. In this study, we report the case of a female patient suspected of having Sotos syndrome. Screening for the initially selected genes, considering Sotos syndrome and Sotos-like disorders, did not identify any pathogenic variants that could explain the phenotype. The extended analysis, which considered all genes in the exome associated with features consistent with those shown by the studied patient, revealed a novel frameshift variant in the AMER1 gene, responsible for osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis. WES analysis and an updated revision of previously reported disease-causing mutations, proved useful to reach an accurate diagnosis and guide further examination to identify critical abnormalities. |
