  1. *Duarte variant.
  2. Although this variation has not been previously reported in Koreans, it is a known pathogenic mutation identified in the Japanese population and reported by Hirokawa et al. [6].
  3. This variation was found in a patient who was compound heterozygous for c.286_299delGACAACGACTTCCC and c.378-1G > C.
