Exome sequencing revealed a novel deletion in the ERCC8 gene in an Iranian family with Cockayne syndrome
2018
: Cockayne syndrome (CS) is one the rare DNA-repair deficiency disorders with autosomal recessive inheritance. Failure to thrive and microcephaly are the major criteria of diagnosis. Owing to genetic heterogeneity of CS, whole exome sequencing is promising way to determine the genetic basis of the disease. Here, we present c.1053delT in ERCC8 gene in an Iranian family with symptom of CS using whole exome sequencing. The deletion was novel and was not previously reported elsewhere.
