Abstract

These findings underscore the pronounced phenotypic variability of CHIME syndrome, which may complicate clinical diagnosis; however, they also highlight that powerful molecular diagnostic approaches, such as comprehensive genome sequencing complemented by transcriptome analysis, can overcome these challenges by accurately detecting complex variant combinations like missense changes coupled with small intragenic deletions. As shown in this patient, such deletions often fall below the detection limits of exome-based CNV callers.
