This case further highlights how WES data analysis and interpretation strongly rely on family history and robust genotype-phenotype correlation. This is even more relevant in the prenatal setting, where access to fetal phenotype is limited and prenatal recognition of many morbid genes is not fully explored. We also provide a detailed description of the prenatal manifestations of Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome.
