Hereditary spastic paraplegia
Gene: GCH1
Gene to be reviewed again after the GMS Neurology specialist test group have reviewed and agreed rating of gene on the Hereditary spastic paraplegia - childhood onset panel on May 2019Created: 3 May 2019, 8:34 a.m.
Comment on list classification: Kept rating as Amber following clinical review from Helen Brittain- Amber rating is appropriate for now, based upon the two cases and some phenotypic queries.Created: 2 Mar 2019, 3:41 p.m.
Comment on mode of inheritance: Both literature cases (PMID:24509643; 21935284) are heterozygous, so have kept MOI as Monoallelic for now while gene is rated Amber. Note that OMIM displays AR and AD inheritance for Dystonia, DOPA-responsive, with or without hyperphenylalaninemia (MIM:128230).Created: 28 Jan 2019, 12:49 p.m.
Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Grey to Amber awaiting feedback from clinical team. 2 literature cases of HSP phenotype in PMIDs:24509643,21935284 both of which involved previous misdiagnosis of DRD/cerebral palsy.Created: 18 Dec 2018, 9:35 a.m.
PMID:21935284 (Lee et al. 2011) report a novel initiation codon mutation (c.1A>T; p.Met1Leu) in GCH1 in a patient with dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) that had previously been mis-diagnosed as cerbral palsy.Created: 18 Dec 2018, 9:26 a.m.
PMID:24509643 (Fan et al 2014) identified a heterozygous GCH1 variant (R216X) by WES in a patient presenting with progressive spastic paraplegia. The R216X variant had been previously reported as causal for dopa-responsive dystonia (MIM:128230), a phenotype that can resemble HSP.Created: 18 Dec 2018, 9:26 a.m.
Fan (2014, 24509643) het for nonsense variant previously associated with dopa-responsive dystonia. Authors observe that Dopa-responsive Dystonia can resemble HSP
Lee (2011, 21935284), another example of DRD misdiagnosed as Cerebral palsy with GCH1 c.1A>T; p.Met1Leu missense
