Absence of Missense Variant Detection in Inherited Dysfibrinogenemia May Result from a Poor Raw Data Analysis...

Variant identification underlying inherited dysfibrinogenemia quite exceptionally fails. We report on two dysfibrinogenemia cases whose underlying DNA variant could not be identified by Sanger analysis. These failures result from two distinct mechanisms. The first case involved raw signal overcorrection by a built-in software, and the second constituted the first description of mosaicism for one of the fibrinogen genes. This mosaicism was subsequently identified by next-generation sequencing reanalysis of the sample.
