Autosomal recessive malignant infantile osteopetrosis is a congenital disease characterized
by pathologically increased bone density. Recently, the use of whole exome sequencing
has been utilized as a clinical diagnostic tool in a number of Mendelian disorders. In this
study, whole exome sequencing (WES) was successfully used in six patients with malignant
infantile osteopetrosis (MIOP) and identified mutations in four MIOP‐related genes (CLCN7,
TCIRG1, SNX10, and TNFRSF11A). We report these patients, describe the mutations and …
