Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="humu22620-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Our data question the role of <italic>RAB40AL</italic> p.D59G mutation as a disease causing‐change and the involvement of <italic>RAB40AL</italic> in Martin‐Probst syndrome (MPS). We found the p.D59G variant by whole exome sequencing in two patients in whom the diagnosis of MPS was excluded. Screening of control DNA samples (n=810) from a general Polish population identified p.D59G with a high prevalence of 2.47% that is typical for a common genetic variation observed in asymptomatic individuals. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh1f9dbzzf" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
