All patients underwent detailed phenotypic reassessment and WES reanalysis. One patient received a definitive molecular diagnosis following WES reanalysis. Four patients subsequently withdrew consent, and one patient was excluded due to inadequate DNA quality for OGM. OGM was therefore performed in the remaining 32 patients.
