Case ReportsCongenital Orbital Fibrosis: Molecular Genetic Analysis by Whole-Exome and Mitochondrial Genome Sequencing.
A 3-year-old girl presented with congenital orbital fibrosis. We performed molecular genetic analysis by whole exome and mitochondrial genome sequencing. No pathologic mutation was identified in the present case. To our best knowledge, this study presents the first report on the findings of mutational analysis of a patient with congenital orbital fibrosis.
