For most Mendelian disorders, targeted genome sequencing is an effective method to detect causative mutations. However, sequencing PCR-amplified exonic regions and their intronic boundaries can miss large deletions or duplications and mutations that lead to PCR failures in autosomal dominant disorde
Eight novel mutations were identified in the gene encoding L1CAM, a neural cell adhesion protein, in patients/families with Xlinked hydrocephalus (XHC) providing additional evidence for extreme allelic heterogeneity of the trait. The two nonsense mutations (Gln440Ter and Gln1042Ter) result most like
