No other likely candidate gene was identified in the targeted analysis of the exomes; in particular no disease-causing variant in any of the known congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS) genes (RAPSN, CHRNE, AGRN, ALG2, CHAT, CHRNA1, CHRNB1, CHRND, CHRNE, COLQ, DOK7, GFPT1, GMPPB, MUSK, PREPL and SLC5A7) was found. This evidence concerns the gene PREPL and congenital myasthenic syndrome.
