The two identified variants included a well-established pathogenic variant (c.1612C&gt;T, p.Arg538Cys) that causes profound biotinidase deficiency (BTD) in homozygosity. In addition, a novel splice variant (c.44+1G&gt;A, p.?) was identified in the invariant splice donor region of intron 1, potentially predictive of loss of function. The novel variant was predicted to impact splicing of exon 1; however, given the absence of any reported pathogenic variants in exon 1 and the presence of alternative splicing with exon 1 absent in most tissues in the GTEx database, we assigned an initial classification of uncertain significance. Follow-up medical record review of state-mandated newborn screen (NBS) results revealed an initial out-of-range biotinidase activity level. Levels from a repeat NBS sample barely passed cutoff into the normal range. To determine whether the infant was biotinidase-deficient, subsequent diagnostic enzyme activity testing was performed, confirming partial BTD, and resulted in a change of management for this patient. This led to reclassification of the novel splice variant based on these results. In conclusion, combining the genetic and NBS results together prompted clinical follow-up that confirmed partial BTD and informed this novel splice site's reclassification, emphasizing the importance of combining iterative genetic and phenotypic evaluations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/mcs.a002873","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,4]],"date-time":"2018-05-04T14:15:26Z","timestamp":1525443326000},"page":"a002873","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Reconciling newborn screening and a novel splice variant in <i>BTD<\/i> associated with partial biotinidase deficiency: a BabySeq Project case report"],"prefix":"10.1101","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Jaclyn B.","family":"Murry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kalotina","family":"Machini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ozge","family":"Ceyhan-Birsoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amy","family":"Kritzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joel B.","family":"Krier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew S.","family":"Lebo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shawn","family":"Fayer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Casie A.","family":"Genetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Grace E.","family":"VanNoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Timothy W.","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pankaj B.","family":"Agrawal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard B.","family":"Parad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ingrid A.","family":"Holm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amy L.","family":"McGuire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert C.","family":"Green","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alan H.","family":"Beggs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heidi L.","family":"Rehm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"The BabySeq Project Team","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"246","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021112506153334000_4.4.a002873.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"809","DOI":"10.1038\/gim.2016.193","article-title":"A curated gene list for reporting results of newborn genomic sequencing","volume":"19","year":"2017","journal-title":"Genet Med"},{"key":"2021112506153334000_4.4.a002873.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature19057"},{"key":"2021112506153334000_4.4.a002873.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004390050397"},{"key":"2021112506153334000_4.4.a002873.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"81","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgmr.2015.01.005","article-title":"First contiguous gene deletion causing biotinidase deficiency: the enzyme deficiency in three Sri Lankan children","volume":"2","year":"2015","journal-title":"Mol Genet Metab Rep"},{"key":"2021112506153334000_4.4.a002873.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"300","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymgme.2003.12.006","article-title":"Identification of alternatively spliced human biotinidase mRNAs and putative localization of endogenous biotinidase","volume":"81","year":"2004","journal-title":"Mol Genet Metab"},{"key":"2021112506153334000_4.4.a002873.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/gim.2017.84"},{"key":"2021112506153334000_4.4.a002873.7","unstructured":"Wolf B . 1993.
