Affected individuals in family 1 exhibited compound heterozygous or homozygous variants for the 4 variants. In silico analyses showed incomplete concordance in predicting pathogenicity. In vitro studies confirmed p.G395D as the primary pathogenic variant in family 1, and p.R648G and p.G771R in families 2 and 3. Notably, p.V618M, p.M706V, and p.T725P did not impair TPO function, either individually or in combination, suggesting that these regions are not critical for enzymatic activity. Further functional analyses revealed that p.G771R is essential for proper membrane insertion, whereas p.R648G is necessary for enzymatic activity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>When multiple TPO variants occur within the same family, a combination of in silico and in vitro analyses can help identify the variant responsible for the phenotype.
