We present the case of a 19-year-old man with a growth disorder, which was undefined,
despite extensive evaluation. Whole exome sequencing demonstrated a novel homozygous
frameshift mutation in CUL7, one of the causative genes of 3-M syndrome. We discuss the
utility of exome sequencing in diagnosing rare disorders.
