Panel Version: 4.42
Comment on list classification: As reviewed by Anna Sarkozy (Great Ormond Street Hospital), there is sufficient evidence (three unrelated cases and functional evidence from mouse models) for promoting this gene to GREEN at the next major review.

This gene has not yet been associated with phenotypes in OMIM, but has been reported in Gene2Phenotype with 'limited' rating.

Green List (high evidence)

biallelic variants in DNAJB4 gene have now been described in three unrelated families, in particular stop gain and missense variants. the phenotype is characterised by axial rigidity and early respiratory failure between the 1st and 4th decade of life. muscle pathology is myopathic with protein inclusions and occasional rimmed vacuoles.
