Comment on list classification: There is sufficient evidence for this gene to be rated GREEN at the next GMS review.Created: 31 May 2023, 12:01 p.m. | Last Modified: 31 May 2023, 12:01 p.m.

As reviewed by Zornitza Stark, PMID:35047857 reported seven cases from six unrelated families with the same missense variant (p.Arg158Cys) and presenting with developmental and speech delays, of which six individuals from five families presented with microcephaly. Three individuals from two of these families had severe microcephaly with occipitofrontal circumference (OFC) beyond 3 standard deviations below the mean for age. In addition, functional studies showed that the variant is associated with a decreased amount of F-actin in cells from two affected individuals.
This gene has been associated with relevant phenotypes in both OMIM (MIM #620141) and Gene2Phenotype (ARPC4-related microcephaly and developmental delay with 'strong' rating in the DD panel).Created: 31 May 2023, noon | Last Modified: 31 May 2023, noon

7 affected individuals from 6 families (gonadal mosaicism was confirmed in the mother of the 2 affected siblings) with a recurrent missense variant (NM_005718.4:c.472C>T; p.R158C). 6/7 affected individuals had microcephaly. The variant was associated with a decreased amount of F-actin in cells from two affected individuals.
