DAIPT is a rare genetic disease caused by PIEZO2 gene mutations. We identified two novel variants of the gene, a nonsense and an intronic substitution, in a child with suspected DAIPT. Functional studies confirmed the effect of the nonsense variant and demonstrated the pathogenicity of the intronic one by providing a conclusive diagnosis of DAIPT. This
