At the moment, ten CMS22 patients are described, with the disorder caused by nine different Loss-of-Function mutations and 14 gross deletions in the PREPL gene. The materials for our study were DNA samples of five family members: two patients with myasthenia, their healthy sibling and parents. Clinical exome analysis was carried out for one patient, then the whole family was checked for target variants with Sanger sequencing, quantitative multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, and chromosome 2 microsatellite markers study. To determine the functional significance of the splicing variant, we applied the minigene assay. The cause of the proband\u2019s disorder is a compound heterozygous state of two previously non-described pathogenic PREPL variants: a c.1528C&gt;T (p.(Arg510Ter)) nonsense mutation and a c.2094G&gt;T pseudo-missense variant, which, simultaneously with a p.(Lys698Asn) amino acid substitution, affects splicing, leading to exon 14 skipping in mRNA. The second patient\u2019s disorder was caused by a homozygous nonsense c.1528C&gt;T (p.(Arg510Ter)) mutation due to maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 2. In this study, we describe a unique case, in which two siblings with a rare disorder have different pathologic genotypes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes11070821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,21]],"date-time":"2020-07-21T06:38:55Z","timestamp":1595313535000},"page":"821","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A Family Case of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome-22 Induced by Different Combinations of Molecular Causes in Siblings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4905-1303","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga","family":"Shchagina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics 1 Moskvorechie St., 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ludmila","family":"Bessonova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics 1 Moskvorechie St., 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6594-6126","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Igor","family":"Bychkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics 1 Moskvorechie St., 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatiana","family":"Beskorovainaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics 1 Moskvorechie St., 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksander","family":"Poliakov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Medical Genetics 1 Moskvorechie St., 115522 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1158","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ejhg.5201619","article-title":"A fascination with chromosome rescue in uniparental disomy: Mendelian recessive outlaws and imprinting copyrights infringements","volume":"14","author":"Engel","year":"2006","journal-title":"Eur.
