Uniparental disomy (UPD) is the inheritance of both alleles of a chromosome from only one parent. So far, the detection of UPDs in sequencing data is not well established and a known gap in next-generation sequencing (NGS) diagnostics. By developing a new tool for UPD detection, we re-evaluated an eight-year-old individual presenting with scoliosis, muscle weakness and global developmental delay. Previous panel analysis identified a homozygous likely pathogenic loss-of-function variant in the
