A mutation can hide another one: Think Structural Variants!

Résumé

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) using capture or amplicons strategies allows the detection of a large number of mutations increasing the rate of positive diagnosis for the patients. However, most of the detected mutations are Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs) or small indels. Structural Variants (SVs) are often underdiagnosed in inherited genetic diseases, probably because few user-friendly tools are available for biologists or geneticists to identify them easily. We present here the diagnosis of two brothers presenting a demyelinating motor-sensitive neuropathy: a presumed homozygous c.5744_5745delAT in exon 10 of SACS gene was initially detected, while actually these patients were heterozygous for this mutation and harbored a large deletion of SACS exon 10 in the other allele. This hidden mutation has been detected thanks to the user-friendly CovCopCan software. We recommend to systematically use such a software to screen NGS data in order to detect SVs, such as Copy Number Variations, to improve diagnosis of the patients.
