摘要

Trio-based genome sequencing (GS) is useful for genetic analysis of cases in which exome sequencing failed to resolve the disease-causing variants. In this paper, we report two unrelated families with pathogenic deletions (one outside exome-covering genomic regions and the other involving a single exon) successfully identified by GS. Notably, mosaic deletions were found in both families, which were carefully evaluated in detail by analyzing GS data using Integrative Genomics Viewer, breakpoint PCR, quantitative PCR, and digital PCR. This study emphasizes the benefit of trio-based GS, enabling straightforward interpretation, further aided by other confirmatory experimental methods.
