Key Clinical Message Clinical diagnostic exome sequencing ( DES ) is currently infrequently used for detecting uniparental disomy ( UPD ). We present a patient with a dual diagnosis of GLI2 haploinsufficiency as well as UPD of chromosome 20, both identified through DES . We therefore recommend routine UPD analysis during DES to identify this genetic aberration.
