Submitted on behalf of Professor Sian Ellard (South West Genomic Laboratory Hub), who has a patient with compound heterozygous SEPSECS variants identified through a gene-agnostic trio analysis of the 100,000 Genome Project data.

SEPSECS is associated with a phenotype in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype and it is a green gene in the Genetic epilepsy syndromes panel (v1.56). There are >3 unrelated cases (PMID: 26805434;29464431;28133863;26115735;26888482) of different missense and frameshift variants in this gene associated with patients who are diagnosed with Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2D. All patients have profound intellectual disability and some have developmental delay. PMID: 27576344 is a study that looked at the structural porperties of some of the disease-associated variants and found showed that the variants cause reduced stability and increased propensity towards misfolding of the protein.
