Integrating whole-genome sequencing and transcriptomic findings in the diagnosis and management of Coffin-Siris syndrome

Although the whole-exome sequencing (WES) approach has been widely used in clinic, many rare diseases with syndromic and nonsyndromic neurological manifestations remain undiagnosed. Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by neurodevelopmental delay. A suspected diagnosis can be made based on the typical CSS clinical features; however, molecular genetic testing is necessary for a confirmed diagnosis.
