Wortmann et al (2017) PMID: 29205472 reclassified MEGDEL syndrome to MEGDHEL syndrome, 3-MEthylGlutaconic aciduria, Dystonia-Deafness, Hepatopathy, Encephalopathy, Leigh-like syndrome (MEGDHEL) as they found that liver involvement was an additional clinical feature, so Hepatopathy was incorporated into the acronym. From a study of 67 individuals (39 previously unreported) from 59 families were included (age range 5 days - 33.4 years, median age 9 years) Wortmann et al idenitified 41 different SERAC1 biallelic variants, including 20 that have not been reported before. With exception of two families with a milder phenotype, all affected individuals show a strikingly homogeneous phenotype and time course. Severe, reversible neonatal liver dysfunction and hypoglycemia was seen in more than 40% of all cases. Starting at a median age of six months muscular hypotonia (91%) was seen, followed by progressive spasticity (82%, median onset 15 months) and dystonia (82%, 18 months). The majority of affected individuals never learnt to walk (68%). 79% suffered hearing loss, 58% never learnt to speak, nearly all had significant intellectual disability (88%).Created: 19 Dec 2017, 11:48 a.m.

This gene has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
17th Oct 2016: Promoted to version 1. The panel was revised after expert input and internal discussion with the clinical team. Other panels such as hereditary ataxia or dementia may be applied in conjunction with this panel where appropriate for genome analysis.
