Figure 1.

Sanger sequencing results show mutations in DGAT1 detected in the proband's family. (a) The proband was maternally inherited the variant of c.838 C>T in the DGAT1 gene. (b) The proband was paternally inherited the variant of c.1215 _ 1216 del AG in the DGAT1 gene.

(a) The schematic presentation of the DGAT1 mutation spectrum in previous studies, and the mutations identified in this study are shown in red. (b) DGAT1 structure model with DGAT1 mutations identified in this study. Note: these pictures are drawn by using DOG2.0 (http://dog.biocuckoo.org/) and PyMOL (www.pymol.org).
