Clinical Exome Sequencing Enables Congenital Sialidosis Type II Diagnosis in Two Siblings Presenting with Unreported Clinical Features from a Rare Homozygous Sequence Variant p.(Tyr370Cys) in .

Sialidosis is a rare autosomal recessive disease that presents with progressive lysosomal storage of sialylated glycopeptides and oligosaccharides caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous sequence variants in the neuraminidase 1 () gene. These sequence variants can lead to sialidosis type I and II; the latter is the most severe and presents prenatally or at early age. However, sialidosis diagnosis is challenging, especially in those health systems with limited resources of developing countries.
