Green List (high evidence)

Comment on classification of this gene: As reviewed by Zornitza Stark, the rating for this gene should be GREEN. This gene has been implicated in muscular dystrophy, as identified from biallelic variants from five cases from four unrelated families.

All these patients were reported with high creatine kinase (CK) levels and myopathy. Three individuals from two different families displayed congenital hypotonia (PMID:29855340; PMID:33639315), while another individual displayed mild hypotonia (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nmd.2013.06.404)

Although GOSR2 has already been associated with progressive myoclonic epilepsy 6 (MIM# 614018) in OMIM, it has not yet been associated with congenital muscular dystrophy in OMIM or in Gene2Phenotype. This association has only recently been made in scientific literature.

Green List (high evidence)

5 cases from 4 unrelated families with muscular involvement and PME phenotype. All cases had a missense/leaky splice variant with a predicted loss of function variant
PMID: 34167170 - a case with early onset myoclonus epilepsy, ataxia, areflexia, and relatively preserved cognition. Also had high CK and myopathy in a muscle biopsy. Biallelic variants (c.204‐7A>G and c.319C>T, p.Arg107*) and a less severe phenotype.
PMID: 33639315 - a case with congenital hypotonia and persistently elevated creatine kinase levels with biallelic variants (c.430G>T, p.(Gly144Trp) and c.82C>T, p.(Gln28*))
PMID: 29855340 - 2 siblings with hypotonia, muscle weakness, low muscle bulk, and elevated creatine kinase levels with biallelic variants (c.430G>T p.(Gly144Trp) and c.2T>G p.M1?)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nmd.2013.06.404 - an infant with mild hypotonia, severe developmental delay, and increased CK with biallelic variants (c.430G>T p.(Gly144Trp) and c.336+1G>A). Also developed other features of the PME phenotype

Red List (low evidence)

GOSR2 is associated with epilepsy in OMIM but no phenotypes in Gene2Phenotype. PMID: 29855340 reported on 2 siblings from a family who have muscular dystrophy who have compound heterozygous variants in the GOSR2 gene. There does not appear to be any relevant animal models. Therefore, this gene should remain red until more evidence is available to support a gene-disease association.
