Severe microcephaly
Gene: DPP6This gene is being assessed for demotion from green to amber, and has the to_be_confirmed tag added as this is still under consideration. Added the Q4_21_rating tag to make it clear that it is the rating that is being assessed.Created: 6 Oct 2022, 2:16 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Oct 2022, 2:16 p.m.
Panel Version: 2.319
PMID: 23832105
- 1x proband (OFC < -3 SD) with a missense which segregated in 3 other family members
- 2x probands with 336kb deletion. Both OFCs < -3 SD
- mouse KO model with significantly smaller brain weight
However, note that missense was found using candidate gene approach in a cohort of microcephalic patients. There have been no further reports since 2013. A single LP variant is present in ClinVar but associated with schizophrenia.Created: 2 Sep 2020, 9:28 p.m. | Last Modified: 2 Sep 2020, 9:28 p.m.

Panel Version: 1.62
Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Red to Green based on 3 unrelated cases described in PMID:23832105- 2 deletions and a missense.Created: 2 Mar 2017, 2:55 p.m.
Added 'deletions' tag based on 2 deletions (336 kb and 362 kb) described in PMID:23832105.Created: 2 Mar 2017, 11:49 a.m.
PMID:23832105 (Liao et al., 2013) identify 2 de novo deletions and 1 missense mutation in familial microcephalic patients.
A 5 year old girl carried the missense (c.1153A-C (NM_130797) transversion, M385L). The same mutation was identified in her affected mother, aunt and grandfather. Patient BY0712 harboured a 336 kb deletion. Patient BY2018 harbored a362 kb deletion.Created: 27 Feb 2017, 2:44 p.m.
DPP6 is on the Expert list for MCPH (primary microcephaly) from Andrew Jackson but with the caution that only a single mutation or family is reported in the literature.Created: 13 Dec 2016, 12:11 p.m.
Tag Q4_21_expert_review was removed from gene: DPP6. Tag Q4_21_rating was removed from gene: DPP6.
Tag Q4_21_rating tag was added to gene: DPP6.
Tag to_be_confirmed_NHSE tag was added to gene: DPP6.
Tag Q4_21_expert_review tag was added to gene: DPP6.
Source NHS GMS was added to DPP6.
2nd March 2017: Panel review was assessed and panel was revised according to expert review and additional curation. This panel began with an expert gene list from Professor Andrew Jackson (University of Edinburgh) for primary microcephaly (MCPH) and microcephalic primordial dwarfism (MPD). Other disorders are included where microcephaly is a primary feature. Disorders where microcephaly is not the primary presenting feature are not included (e.g. congenital disorders of glycosylation, Proud syndrome, Norrie disease). The panel does not include disorders with a cortical malformation (e.g. lissencephaly) since the Malformations of cortical development' panel would be applied to these patients.
This gene has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
