Novel copy number variation of POMGNT1 associated with muscle-eye-brain disease detected by next-generation sequencing

Abstract The protein O-mannose beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 (POMGNT1) gene is one of 18 genes involved in the pathogenesis of α-dystroglycanopathies(α-DGPs) such as muscle–eye–brain disease (MEB). Our study aimed to retrospectively analyze and characterize the clinical and genetic feat...
