case_images: Represents case 1, where the proband harbours heterozygotic mutations with single base pair deletion in exon 31 (chr8:144998220delC; c. 6288del; p. Arg2097AlafsTer55) and two base pair deletion in exon 27 (chr8:145001693_145001694delCT; c. 4054_4055del; p. Ser1352CysfsTer68) of PLEC gene. The father is detected with heterozygous variant in exon 31(chr8:144998220delC; c. 6288del; p. Arg2097AlafsTer55) and mother with heterozygote variant in exon 27 (chr8:145001693_145001694delCT; c. 4054_4055del; p. Ser1352CysfsTer68) of PLEC gene
