Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: There are sufficient unrelated cases to rate this gene as Green at the next GMS panel update. Although all patients presented epilepsy, it is not clear from the case reports whether cognitive impairment was secondary or independent of seizures. For this reason I think its worth including GABRD on this panel as it is plausible that DD may be evident prior to seizure onset (ranging from 4 months to 4 years in report)

Panel Version: 3.1458
Ahring et al., 2021 (PMID: 34633442) reports on at least 3 unrelated individuals with de novo variants and one family with 3 affected individuals harbouring an inherited variant in the GABRD gene. All variants exerted a gain-of-function effect and all carriers displayed a homogenous phenotype of generalised epilepsy (median age of onset 10.5 months, medically refractory in 5/6) and various degrees of learning difficulties or ID (learning difficulties in 1, mild ID in 2, mild to moderate ID in 1, and severe to profound ID in 2).

NB. A further three individuals were excluded from phenotypic analysis as their variants (p.M87L and p.V442I) did not show any detectable functional changes. There was also another patient with a loss-of-function variant but they displayed ASD, normal intelligence and no seizure history.
