Utility of genome sequencing and group-enrichment to support splice variant interpretation in Marfan syndrome

Susan Walker, David J. Bunyan, Huw B. Thomas, Yeşim Kesim, Christopher J. Kershaw, John W. Holloway, Htoo A. Wai, Michael J. Day, Cassandra L. Smith, Gareth Hawkes, Andrew R. Wood, Michael N. Weedon, Ed Blair, Stephanie Curtis, Catherine Fielden, , Alistair T. Pagnamenta

The paper identifies non-canonical FBN1 splice variants in undiagnosed Marfan syndrome families using genome sequencing and RNA testing, finding 20 candidate variants with significant enrichment in FTAAD cases.

De novo variants in the non-coding spliceosomal snRNA gene RNU4-2 are a frequent cause of syndromic neurodevelopmental disorders

Yuyang Chen, Ruebena Dawes, Hyung Chul Kim, Alicia Ljungdahl, Sarah L. Stenton, Susan Walker, Jenny Lord, Gabrielle Lemire, Alexandra C Martin-Geary, Vijay S Ganesh, Jialan Ma, Jamie M. Ellingford, Erwan Delage, Elston N. D’Souza, Shan Dong, , David H. Viskochil

Mostly de novo variants in an 18 bp constrained region of U4 snRNA gene RNU4-2 cause a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder, estimated to explain 0.41% of cases.
