Milder Form of Vici Syndrome Due to Novel Missense Variant in Epg5 Gene Affecting Splicing: A Case Report.

Objective. Novel variant EPG5:c.4205G>A, p.(Arg1402Lys) causes aberrant splicing only in a small proportion of transcripts; therefore, the milder presentation of Vici syndrome in our patient is probably due to the residual presence of EPG5 protein.
