Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies a Novel Homozygous Missense Mutation in the CSB Protein-Encoding <i>ERCC6</i> Gene in a Taiwanese Boy with Cockayne Syndrome

Background: Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare form of dwarfism that is characterized by progressive premature aging. CS is typically caused by mutations in the excision repair cross-complementing protein group 6 (<i>ERCC6</i>) gene that encodes the CS group B (CSB) protein. Using whole ex...
