Novel GNB1 Missense Mutation in a Patient with Generalized Dystonia, Hypotonia, and Intellectual Disability
Recently, exome sequencing has extended our knowledge of genetic causes of developmental delay through identification of de novo, germline mutations in the guanine nucleotide-binding protein, beta 1 (GNB1) in 13 patients with neurodevelopmental disability and a wide range of additional symptoms and…

Whole Exome Sequencing in a Rare Disease: A Patient with Anomalous Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (Bland-White-Garland Syndrome)
Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), also known as the Bland-White-Garland syndrome, is a rare congenital abnormality, with an incidence of 1 in 300,000 live births. Herein we report the results of the first whole exome sequencing (WES) of an ALCAPA patient who…
