Identification of the WDR81 mutation. (A) Genomic structure, predicted protein, and predicted transmembrane domains of WDR81 gene [(EC) extracellular, (C) cytosol]. (B) Confirmation of the missense mutation c.2567C>T (p.P856L) in WDR81 isoform 1 by Sanger sequencing. (C) Sequence homology of WDR81 protein in vertebrates. The box indicates the mutant amino acid. (D) Family B with affected individuals indicated by filled symbols and genotypes shown for WDR81 p.P856L.
