Egy Huntington-betegségre utaló tünetegyüttest produkáló betegben a huntingtin mutáció negatív volta miatt nemzetközi kollaboráció keretén belül exom-szekvenálás (whole exome sequencing – WES) készült. Betegünkben a WES során a VPS13A gén 34 exonjában egy homozigóta G>A cserét detektáltunk, ami az 1301-es kodonon egy prematurus stopkodont eredményez. Az eltérés ismert patogén mutáció. Közleményünkben a módszer fontosságára szeretnénk rámutatni nagyon ritka, nem specifikus megjelenést mutató neurológiai kórképek diagnosztikájában. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(42): 1681–1684.
