This neurometabolic disease typically presents in early childhood with progressive neurodegeneration, including confusion, seizures, and dysphagia, advancing to coma and death. Treatment is possible via supplement of biotin and\/or thiamine, with early treatment resulting in significant lifelong improvements. Here we report two siblings who received a refined diagnosis of BTBGD following whole-genome sequencing. Both children inherited compound heterozygous mutations from unaffected parents; a missense single-nucleotide variant (p.G23V) in the first transmembrane domain of the protein, and a 4808-bp deletion in exon 1 encompassing the 5\u2032 UTR and minimal promoter region. This deletion is the smallest promoter deletion reported to date, further defining the minimal promoter region of <jats:italic>SLC19A3<\/jats:italic>. Unfortunately, one of the siblings died prior to diagnosis, but the other is showing significant improvement after commencement of therapy. This case demonstrates the power of whole-genome sequencing for the identification of structural variants and subsequent diagnosis of rare neurodevelopmental disorders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/mcs.a001909","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,11]],"date-time":"2017-07-11T00:35:13Z","timestamp":1499733313000},"page":"a001909","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Compound
