MLS: modified Leipzig score

  • # Those patients have one additional variant in heterozygous state, namely: (c.2663C>T, p.Thr888Ile), (c.2924C>A, p.Ser975Tyr), and (c.1934T>G, p.Met645Arg).

  • * This variant is also detected in patient no. 5 but in heterozygous state, so total no. of alleles carrying this variant were 3.

  • & : This variant is also detected in patient no. 38 but in heterozygous state, so total no of alleles carrying this variant were 3.
