Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Next-generation sequencing is a straightforward tool for the identification of disease genes in extended genomic regions. Autozygosity mapping was performed on a five-generation inbred Italian family with three siblings affected with Clericuzio-type poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN [MIM % 604173 ]), a rare autosomal-recessive genodermatosis characterised by poikiloderma, pachyonychia, and chronic neutropenia. The siblings were initially diagnosed as affected with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS [MIM # 268400 ]), with which PN shows phenotypic overlap. Linkage analysis on all living subjects of the family identified a large 16q region inherited identically by descent (IBD) in all affected family members. Deep sequencing of this 3.4 Mb region previously enriched with array capture revealed a homozygous c.504-2 A>C mismatch in all affected siblings. The mutation destroys the invariant AG acceptor site of intron 4 of the evolutionarily conserved C16orf57 gene. Two distinct deleterious mutations (c.502A>G and c.666_676+1del12) identified in an unrelated PN patient confirmed that the C16orf57 gene is responsible for PN. The function of the predicted C16orf57 gene is unknown, but its product has been shown to be interconnected to RECQL4 protein via SMAD4 proteins. The unravelled clinical and genetic identity of PN allows patients to undergo genetic testing and follow-up.
