Arina Puzriakova (Genomics England Curator)

Green List (high evidence)

The rating of this gene has been updated to Green and the mode of inheritance set to 'BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal' following NHS Genomic Medicine Service approval.
Created: 30 Jan 2023, 5:50 p.m. | Last Modified: 30 Jan 2023, 5:50 p.m.
Panel Version: 4.53
Comment on list classification: There is now sufficient evidence to promote this gene to Green at the next GMS panel update.

POLRMT is associated with a relevant phenotype in OMIM (MIM# 619743). At least 7 unrelated families reported in literature (PMID: 33602924) with distinct variant in this gene associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and a broad spectrum of neurological presentations.

Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics)

Green List (high evidence)

8 individuals from 7 families reported. 5 families with bi-allelic variants and 2 with heterozygous variants. Affected individuals presented with global developmental delay, hypotonia, short stature, and speech/intellectual disability in childhood; one subject displayed an indolent progressive external ophthalmoplegia phenotype.
