Comment on list classification: There are three unrelated cases with cytopenia and hence this gene has been upgraded from Amber to Green. This gene is already Green on the GMS equivalent panel - https://panelapp.genomicsengland.co.uk/panels/519/gene/RAP1B/
This gene has been associated with relevant phenotype in Gene2Phenotype database (with 'limited' rating in the DD panel), but not yet been associated with phenotypes in OMIM.Created: 27 Oct 2025, 9:48 a.m. | Last Modified: 27 Oct 2025, 9:48 a.m.

This gene is associated with a phenotype in Gene2Phenotype but not OMIM.
PMID: 32627184 describes 2 patients.
36 yo patient of non-consanguineous parents. Had unclear pancytopenia, multiple congenital malformations, mild intellectual disability, endocrine disorders (short stature with growth hormone deficiency), dysmorphism and other features. Parents and sibling unaffected.
13 yo of non-consanguineous parents with thrombocytopenia, multiple congenital anomalies and learning difficulties. He had normal developmental milestones, walk was achieved at 14 months and there was no speech delay. He attended mainstream school with auxiliary help because of learning difficulties with graphism, syntaxic comprehension, logical reasoning and attention deficit. Parents and siblings unaffected.
PMID: 26280580 describes another patient with variant in RAP1B. The clinical features can be found in supplementary table 2. The table lists ID, but doesn't say severity and lists a host of other features including short stature, facial dysmorphism and skeletal findings. Cytopenia is not a feature for this patient.
All 3 cases seem to have a very wide spectrum of differing phenotypes and therefore, this gene has been given an Amber rating until further evidence is available.
