This study highlights the value of WGS to characterize the genomic junction at the nucleotide level and ultimately better describe the molecular mechanisms involved in Xq28 structural variations. It also emphasizes the importance of specifying the structure of the genomic gain in order to improve genotype-phenotype correlation and genetic counselling.
