Comment on list classification: This gene should be rated RED as I do not see any association of this gene with intestinal dysmotility and pseudo-obstruction.

This gene has been associated with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 9 (encephalomyopathic with or without methylmalonic aciduria) (MIM #245400) in OMIM. However, this disorder is characterised by infantile onset of hypotonia, lactic acidosis, severe psychomotor retardation, progressive neurologic deterioration, and excretion of methylmalonic acid. Although other frequent manifestations include feeding difficulty and gastroesophageal reflux, there is no clear indication of any links of this disorder with either pseudo-obstruction or intestinal dysmotility.
