Please help:

Detail the Table below to summarize the search for gene(s) responsible for Miller syndrome. In particular, explain the significance of the highlighted cells.

"Exome sequencing identifies the cause of a mendelian disorder." Nature genetics 42.1 (2010): 30-35.

Filtering either by requiring the presence of NS/SS/I variants in siblings (kindred 1 (A+B)) or of multiple unrelated individuals (columns) or by excluding annotated variants (rows) identifies 26 and 8 candidate genes under a dominant model and only a single candidate gene, DHODH, under a recessive model (light gray cells). Exclusion of mutations predicted to be benign using PolyPhen (row 5) increases sensitivity under a dominant model but excludes DHODH under a recessive model because a variant in kindred 1 is predicted to be benign. A single candidate gene is identified in kindred 1 under a recessive model and excluding benign mutations (dark gray ce but this candidate is excluded in comparisons with unrelated cases of Miller syndrome. Mutations in this candidate, DNAH5, were found to cause a primary ciliary dyskinesia in kindred 1. The asterisk indicates that a second gene, CDC27, was also identified as a candidate gene, but this is due to the presence of multiple copies of a processed pseudogene that recurrently gave rise to a false positive s in excome analyses

Explanation / Answer

Gene responsible for millor syndrome is DHODH gene.this gene located on chromosome 16q22 position.

This gene encode for an enzyme dihydrooroted dehydrogenese.
