Abstract Background: Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a rare congenital heart defect (CHD), genetics defects have been found in patients with LVNC and their family members; and MYH7 is the most common genetic associated with LVNC. Methods: A trio (fetus and the parents) whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed when the fetus was found with Ebstein's anomaly (EA), heart dilatation, perimembranous ventricular septal defects (VSD), mild seroperitoneum and single umbilical artery (SUA).Results: Whole-exome sequencing identified a maternal inherited heterozygous splice site mutation in MYH7 (NM_000257.3:c.732+1G>A). Subsequent Sanger sequencing confirmed that the mutation was heterozygous in the fetus, the old sister, the grandmother, and the mother. QPCR experiment using RNA from blood lymphocytes but were unable to amplify any product.Conclusion: This familial case underlines that the striking cardiac phenotypic of MYH7 mutation (the c.732+1G>A spice site variant) may be highly variable. The mechanistic studies which could uncover candidate genes modulating cardiac phenotype associated with LVNC/EA should be proceed.

Background: Cohen syndrome (CS) is a clinically heterogeneous disorder characterized by extensive phenotypic variation with autosomal recessive inheritance. VPS13B was identified to be the disease-causing gene for CS. The objectives of the present study were to screen likely pathogenic mutations of the patient with developmental delay and mental retardation, and to determinate the effect of this splice-site mutation by reverse transcription analysis.Methods: Whole exome sequencing (WES) in combination with Sanger sequencing were performed to identify the causative mutations of this CS family. Subsequently, the impact of the intronic variant on splicing was analyzed by reverse transcription and the construction of expression vector.Results: A novel homozygous splice-site mutation (c.6940+1G>T) in the VPS13B gene was identified in this proband. Sanger sequencing analysis of the cDNA demonstrated that the c.6940+1G>T variant could cause the skipping of entire exon 38, resulting in the loss of 208 nucleotides and further give rise to the generation of a premature in-frame stop codon at code 2,247.Conclusions: The homozygous VPS13B splicing variant c.6940+1G>T was co-segregated with the CS phenotypes in this family and was identified to be the cause of CS after comprehensive consideration of the clinical manifestations, genetic analysis and cDNA sequencing result.
