Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection
Gene: MED12Comment on list classification: MED12 was previously demoted on the GMS equivalent panel (Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection v1.2) due to insufficient evidence. Therefore this gene has been demoted from Green to Red to reflect the most up-to-date knowledge here.

There are reports of patients with Lujan-Fryns syndrome and aortic dilation, but these were not patients with MED12 variants. Patients reported with MED12 c.3020A>G did not have aortic involvement.Created: 14 Jul 2021, 10:23 a.m. | Last Modified: 14 Jul 2021, 10:23 a.m.

309520 Lujan-Fryns syndrome - connective tissue disorder with ascending aortic aneurysm, ASD/VSD according to OMIMCreated: 25 Mar 2019, 4:30 p.m.
Khan et al 2016 Clin Med Insights Case Rep 9:115 describes this as being an intellectual disability syndrome with Marfanoid features. Patient has variant c.3020A>G p.Asn1007Ser, which has been reported several times with functional studies. This patient does not have aortic involvement and review of literature suggests that intellectual disability and Marfaniod body habitus are usual features with this variant and not aortic.Created: 25 Mar 2019, 4:27 p.m.

This gene was part of an initial gene list collated by Matthew Edwards Royal Brompton Hospital sent 16th Jan 2019 on behalf of the London South GLH for review by the GMS Cardiology Specialist Group. Only gene symbol from the Royal Brompton gene panel was provided - suggested initial gene rating and evidence for inclusion not provided with the list.Created: 20 Feb 2019, 2:17 p.m.
