Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark. Rating Amber with recommendation of review by the GMS team to assess whether there is sufficient evidence to support a Green rating (added 'for-review' tag)
At least 21 individuals from 11 unrelated families reported in literature with variants in this gene (PMID: 32979048). Microcephaly was observed in 14/16 cases but precise details regarding head circumference were mostly omitted (no relevant info was provided for the remaining 5 patients). However, at least 5 individuals (2 families) had microcephaly of relevant severity to this panel (OFC ≤ -3 SD) (see PMIDs: 21620353 and 20972249).Created: 5 Jan 2021, 5:24 p.m. | Last Modified: 27 Jan 2021, 3:33 p.m.
Panel Version: 2.87
Autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia that progresses to hypertonia and spasticity and severe mental retardation with poor or absent speech development. Microcephaly is a prominent, presenting feature. At least 3 families reported.
