Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: There are 3 unrelated individuals reported in PMID:38334070 with biallelic SLC12A9 variants and a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder with lysosome defects. ID/GDD was present in all 3 individuals. Hence, this gene should be promoted to Green for Intellectual disability.

PMID: 38334070 Accogli et al., 2024
3 unrelated patients with biallelic LoF variants. Common features included intellectual disability/GDD, skeletal defects (fusion and segmentation vertebral defects) and brain structural abnormalities (thin corpus callosum, hypoplasia of the pons and inferior cerebellar vermis), congenital heart defects, and hypopigmented hair.
Patient 1 was homozygous for SLC12A9 nonsense variant p.(Arg615∗), patient 2 was compound heterozygous for SLC12A9 p.(Ser109Lysfs∗20) and a de novo large deletion 2.1 Mb ((98,261,637-100,363,719)x1 [GRCh37]) on chromosome 7q22.1 that fully encompasses SLC12A9, and proband 3 was compound heterozygous for SLC12A9 p.(Glu290Glyfs∗36) and p.(Asn552Lys).
Method: trio exome / genome seq + Sanger seq segregation confirmation.

Functional evidence (rescue): Fibroblasts from proband 1 contained enlarged lysosomes that were corrected by wild-type SLC12A9 cDNA. Patient variant p.(Asn552Lys) failed to correct the lysosomal defect.

This gene is not yet associated with a phenotype in OMIM (accessed 17th Feb 2026).
