We report a previously undescribed genotypic configuration identified in twins with HNRNPU-related neurodevelopmental disorder. Both twins have two closely spaced mosaic variants on the same allele that never co-occur on any single DNA molecule, resulting in three distinct cell lineages within each individual. We define this genotypic configuration as clustered monoallelic mosaicism (cMoMa). Recognizing the extreme improbability of such a configuration, we systematically explore two potential me...
