Comment on list classification: New gene added and reviewed Green by Julia Baptista (RD&E NHS FT). SMARCA5 should be promoted to Green at the next GMS panel update.
Variants have been associated with a variable neurodevelopmental phenotype including predominantly mild DD, short stature, and microcephaly (PMID:33980485). Postnatal microcephaly [HC ranging between -2.33 and -6.21 SD] was evident in 10/12 individuals, and three had a birth HC less than −2.5 SD. Overall sufficient number of unrelated families presenting microcephaly of relevant severity to warrant a Green rating on this panel.Created: 9 Jun 2021, 3:12 p.m. | Last Modified: 9 Jun 2021, 3:33 p.m.
Panel Version: 2.207
The authors identified seven missense variants, one splice-altering variant that led to exon skipping and in-frame deletion, and one recurrent in-frame deletion in 12 individuals from
10 unrelated families. The variant was de novo in nine individuals. They presented a broad range of clinical features from isolated autism to syndromic intellectual disability.
