DNA analysis is generally performed via blood sampling; however, this might lead to misdiagnosis in case mosaicism is not detected in blood components. The etiology of genetic diseases can be further examined by means of whole exome sequencing and the detection of somatic mosaicism, recognized as a fundamental contributor to genetic diseases themselves. In this study, the clinical case of a patient suffering from a rare unilateral dysplasia localized to the left coxo-femoral and glenohumeral joint and treated at our center for reverse shoulder arthroplasty is reported. By virtue of the glenohumeral anatomical peculiarities, we had to devise a hybrid custom-made and navigated approach by means of a custom-made prosthetic stem and dedicated patient-specific instrumentation, using intraoperative GPS navigation for glenoid prosthesis.
