Exome sequencing was performed to identify candidate genes, and the detected variant was confirmed by Sanger sequencing.Results: Exome sequencing revealed a de novo EBP mutation (c.452A>G, p.Gln151Arg) in the patient.Conclusion: The patient was diagnosed with X-linked chondrodysplasia punctata type 2 (CDPX2). This novel missense mutation expands the mutation spectrum of CDPX2 and underscores the clinical utility of exome sequencing in diagnosing this condition.Keywords: EBP, c.452A>G, p.Gln151Arg, exome sequencing, CDPX2
