Red List (low evidence)

ID is not a consistent or prominent part of the phenotype; remains to be established whether this gene is causative of moderate/severe ID with/without CMT.

Helen Brittain (Genomics England Curator)

Comment when marking as ready: Typical phenotype is not a good fit for this panel. I note the small number of reports of patients with more prominent ID than neuropathic presentation, however on the current evidence I would expect the greatest diagnostic yield to be from the presence of this gene on the CMT panel.

Sarah Leigh (Genomics England Curator)

Associated with phenotype in OMIM, not in G2P. Numerous variants reported in Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy, X-linked dominant, 1 302800, however, intellectual disability or cognitive impairment has only been reported in a minority of cases. PMID 26385972 reports cognitive impairment in 4 adult cases and PMID 23279342 reports a proband and her sister with severe neuropathy and subclinical cognitive impairment, while the proband's brother showed severe cognitive impairment and mild neuropathy.
Reported as a gene linked to isolated ID and ID associated disorders Vissers 2016 (PMID 26503795)
