Severe microcephaly
Gene: MSMO1
As discussed with the GMS Neurology Specialist Test Group webex call 11th July 2019: The Specialist Test Group all agreed that there is enough evidence to rate this gene GreenCreated: 29 Jul 2019, 4:18 p.m. | Last Modified: 29 Jul 2019, 4:18 p.m.
Panel Version: 1.62
Comment on list classification: Promotion of this gene from red to green on this panel is appropriate, based on the review in the Undiagnosed metabolic disorders panel, including additional publication (pmid 24144731). Variants reported in at least 3 unrelated cases, all with microcephalyCreated: 21 Mar 2017, 12:34 p.m.
Comment on list classification: Only 2 reported cases, and unclear if microcephaly was from birth or acquired and how severe. Not a confirmed DD gene (Gene2Phenotype). Therefore kept rating as red.Created: 19 Jan 2017, 9:29 a.m.
Phenotypes for gene: MSMO1 were changed from Microcephaly, congenital cataract, and psoriasiform dermatitis, 616834 to Microcephaly, congenital cataract, and psoriasiform dermatitis, OMIM:616834; Microcephaly-congenital cataract-psoriasiform dermatitis syndrome, MONDO:0014793
Source NHS GMS was added to MSMO1.
This gene has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
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 Red List (Low Evidence).
Publications for MSMO1 were set to 21285510: In a 15 year old girl with MCCPD (OMIM:616834), He et al., identified compound heterozygosity for 2 mutations in MSMO1 (c.519T-A, H173Q and c.731A-G, Y244C). In a 5-year-old Hispanic girl with MCCPD (OMIM:616834), He et al., identified homozygosity for a c.343G-A transition (G115R). Her parents were heterozygous for the mutation.
