BackgroundIncontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare, hereditary multisystemic disorder affecting 1.2 in 100,000 live births, predominantly females. Conventional genetic analyses through short-read sequencing are complicated in case of IP due to the presence of a highly homologous pseudogene. Traditionally, long-range PCR is employed in order to overcome this challenge, however, detection of skewed X-Inactivation can also aid in correctly assign a variant to IKBKG. MethodsWe employed a comprehensive...
