Congenital myopathy
Gene: ECEL1
As reviewed by Anna Sarkozy (Great Ormond Street Hospital) and GMS Neurology specialist test group and summarised by Louise Daugherty (Genomics England Curator), this gene should remain with Green rating in this panel.Created: 26 Apr 2023, 9:51 a.m. | Last Modified: 26 Apr 2023, 9:51 a.m.
Panel Version: 4.26
I agree with the original assessment that this is predominantly an arthrogryposis condition, the evidence for a primary muscle phenotype driving the arthrogryposis is not strong.Created: 11 Jun 2020, 8:41 a.m. | Last Modified: 11 Jun 2020, 8:41 a.m.
Panel Version: 2.5
Comment on list classification: Changed from Red to Green. Gene referred to Genomics England clinical team due to review by the GMS Neurology specialist test group. It was agreed that as this represents a clinical continuum, we should represent the genes on both Congenital myopathy and Arthrogryposis panels as for Genomic Medicine Service it is possible that diagnoses could come from either route so we would not want to miss them. For the 100K Genomes Project participants we tended to apply both Congenital myopathy and Arthrogryposis panels, even though there was a more arbitrary line drawn between contractures / not for allocating genes to a particular panel. Appropriate phenotype, sufficient cases and external expert review all support gene-disease association and relevance to this panel to rate gene as Green.Created: 18 Oct 2019, 1:10 p.m. | Last Modified: 18 Oct 2019, 1:18 p.m.

Variants in this GENE are reported as part of current diagnostic practice
note that we have now identified at least 6 urelated families with ECEL1 gene mutations. patients present a variable degree of contractural phenotype, some with more severe Arhtrogryposis but still in keeping with a diagnosis of congenital myopathy. thus we would strongly recommend for this gene to be considered in the Cong Myopathy panel.Created: 30 May 2019, 4:49 p.m.

Comment when marking as ready: In view of expert opinion as green, further opinion sought. Arianna Tucci, Genomics England curator agrees that the phenotype is of arthrogryposis and therefore best placed on that panel. Expert contacted to ask if they have evidence of myopathy without arthrogryposis in this gene as this would require green status on this panel.Created: 7 Mar 2017, 2:41 p.m.
Comment when marking as ready: Arthrogryposis rather than primarily muscle weaknessCreated: 3 Feb 2017, 11:55 a.m.
More appropriate for arthrogryposis gene panel. Assigned green there already.Created: 30 Jan 2017, 3:50 p.m.

Promoted 22/02/2017 after curation discussion and further review with members of the Genomics England curation team. Participants who are offered this panel will automatically be offered the following three panels: 1) Congenital muscular dystrophy 2) Congenital myasthenia and 3) Paediatric motor neuronopathy as this will cover a large range of differentials for a weak infant, for where the strict inclusion criteria are not applicable in view of the availability of muscle biopsy testing in peripheral paediatric units.
This gene has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
