This gene is associated with a phenotype in Gene2Phenotype but not in OMIM.

This gene is present as an Amber gene on the Intellectual disability panel (Version 3.1052) with the following reviews:

"This gene is a little bit difficult to place, may be Green on Fetal Anomalies panel? Eight unrelated individuals reported, seven de novo missense, and one individual with a truncating variant. Detailed phenotypic information available on 6. Overlapping features included speech and language delays, growth abnormalities, congenital diaphragmatic hernia (2/6), cervical spine abnormalities, and ptosis. Intellectual disability described as mild in 2, some had normal intellect despite the early speech and language delays, hence Amber rating here. Sources: Literature

"Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics). As ID is not present in the majority of affected patients, and the affected individuals only show mild ID, this gene has been given an Amber rating.
Ivone Leong (Genomics England Curator), 4 Dec 2020"

After discussion with the Genomics England Clinical Team it was decided that this gene should be added to this panel as an Amber gene and subject to review by the GMS specialist group.
