Louise Daugherty (Genomics England Curator)

I don't know

In view of external Green review and after internal review it was decided to keep this gene Amber on the ID panel, as it does not seem to be a consistently predominant feature. ALX4 is noted as having significant findings wrt PMID 29215649 but phenotypically supports inclusion on the craniosynostosis panel, where this gene is rated as Green

Comment on mode of inheritance: changed MOI to both;Parietal foramina 2, (AD), 609597;Frontonasal dysplasia 2, (AR), 613451
Created: 13 Aug 2018, 4:59 p.m.
Comment on publications: Added publications suggested from external expert review to support upgrading of the gene to Green
Created: 13 Aug 2018, 4:40 p.m.
Due to a Green review from external clinical reviewer, this gene was reviewed again in view of additional publications, there are enough cases to support the gene being rating as Green, although noted by external review intellectual disabilities not always present/variable so passed onto clinical team for further review.
