Cell modeling and rescue of a novel noncoding genetic cause of glycogen storage disease IX

Delayed diagnosis of Mendelian disease prevents early therapeutic intervention that could improve symptoms and prognosis. One major contributing challenge is functional interpretation of noncoding variants that alter splicing. Here, we aimed to better understand both how splice altering variants contribute to Mendelian disease and how to identify such mechanisms via an instrumental case study of 2 siblings with glycogen storage disease (GSD) IX γ2.
