A total of 3 mL of peripheral venous blood was collected from the affected individuals for whole-exome sequencing. Genomic DNA was extracted using the GenMagBio Genomic DNA Purification kit (GenMagBio, Changzhou, China) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Following fragmentation and end-repair of the genomic DNA from the proband, adapter ligation, and PCR enrichment were conducted as per the manufacturer’s instructions for the VAHTS TM Universal DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina V3 (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd, Nanjing, China). The SureSelect Human All Exon V7 (Agilent) was utilized to capture the exons and the flanking regions of all known genes. The library was subsequently sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq 4000 sequencer in pair-end 150 mode at the Precision Medicine Center of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China [18 (link)].
