Identification of Pathogenic Variants in RPGRIP1L with Meckel Syndrome and Preimplantation Genetic Testing in a Chinese Family.

Meckel syndrome (MKS, OMIM:249000) is a severe multiorgan dysplastic lethal ciliopathy with extreme genetic heterogeneity. Defects in RPGRIP1L are the cause of MKS type 5 (MKS5, OMIM:611561). However, only six different variants have been reported in eight MKS5 cases with biallelic variants.
