Red List (low evidence)

Comment when marking as ready: Age of onset not in congenital range and therefore interpretation in an infant could be difficult. Red after expert opinion
Created: 7 Mar 2017, 2:31 p.m.
Comment on list classification: In view of concerns over age of onset, that include later / adult the overall feeling is that this gene could be difficult to interpret in a younger patient.
Created: 7 Mar 2017, 2:30 p.m.
Comment when marking as ready: Some cases overlap with the phenotype of weakness in early childhood therefore include to be inclusive.
Created: 22 Feb 2017, 11:33 a.m.
Comment on list classification: Evidence for causation is there but previous reviews queried whether this would be relevant to the inclusion criteria. In view of inclusivity to reflect the broad differential, this would be appropriate for inclusion in view of the presence of weakness and onset in some, at an early age.
Created: 22 Feb 2017, 11:33 a.m.
Comment when marking as ready: Although three families reported, age of onset after infancy and raised CK (6x and 15x) noted therefore not appropriate for inclusion / exclusion criteria
Created: 3 Feb 2017, 10:42 a.m.
Comment on list classification: Does not meet inclusion criteria in terms of age of onset and markedly raised CK measurement.
Created: 3 Feb 2017, 10:41 a.m.
A number of patients have been reported (3 in the above PMID reference), however the onset does not appear to be congenital. The earliest reports of symptoms are tip-toe walking as toddlers. Also note that two of the reported cases have CK measurements >5 fold above normal (6x and 15x); one of the exclusion critieria. Therefore I do not find this gene particularly appropriate for congenital myopathy panel.
