Abstract |
The diagnosis of Barth syndrome is challenging owing to the wide phenotypic spectrum with allelic heterogeneity. Here we report 3 cases of Barth syndrome with phenotypic and allelic heterogeneity that were diagnosed by different approaches, including whole exome sequencing and final confirmation by reverse-transcription polymease chain reaction.
