Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: This gene should be promoted to Green at the next GMS panel update - multiple unrelated families with a comparable neurodevelopmental disorder (including ID). As highlighted in review by Zornitza Stark, most reported SNVs are de novo putative disruptive variants, or missense variants that are predicted in silico to have a damaging or possibly damaging effect. Gene expression and function are neurodevelopmentally-relevant, and there is some limited functional data.

Gene-disease association is also now listed in both OMIM and Gene2Phenotype.

TANC2 is now associated with a relevant phenotype in OMIM and has a 'possible' disease confidence rating for 'TANC2-related neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorder' in Gene2Phenotype.

20 individuals described in PMID: 31616000 (2019) with a neurodevelopmental disorder (including ID/GDD) and various 'likely gene-disruptive' variants in this gene (previously reviewed below)

PMID: 33160097 (2020) reports a further individual with a 17q23.3 de novo microdeletion disrupting exons 3–7 of the TANC2 gene. The patient presented craniofacial dysmorphic features, hypotonia, absent speech and gait, and profound ID - supporting the role of TANC2 in neurodevelopmental phenotypes.

TANC2 encodes a synaptic scaffold protein that interacts and co-localises with multiple postsynaptic-density proteins in dendrites to regulate dendritic spines and excitatory synapse formation. Stucchi et al. (2018) (PMID:30021165) showed that proteins with disruptive variants (including p.R1066* reported in patient from PMID:31616000) failed to accumulate at the dendritic spines

Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics)

Green List (high evidence)

19 families with neurodevelopmental phenotypes and variants in this gene. The majority of variants are de novo, highly damaging (truncating/splice site) variants, which would easily meet ACMG criteria for pathogenicity. Gene is highly conserved and intolerant to truncating mutations (pLI score = 1, RVIS% = 0.4). Overall, the evidence for gene-disease association is very strong, despite OMIM/G2P lagging behind.

Andrea Haworth (ACGS, Congenica)

Recent publication PMC6794285 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12435-8
Describes loss of function variants in TANC2 in 20 pediatric patients presenting with autism, intellectual disability, and delayed language and motor development. Variants observed included missense, nonsense, splice, frameshift and structural variation. variants were de novo or inherited from an affected parent.

Paper describes genetic and clinical features of cases. Suggest that this gene should be elevated to amber or red after review.

I don't know

Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Red to Amber based on PMID:31616000 2019 article suggested by Andrea Haworth. Sufficient unrelated cases (19/20) with an ID/DD phenotype but the pathogenicity of the variants has not yet been verified. Not yet associated with a disorder in Gene2Phenotype or OMIM. Currently only 1 paper, therefore Amber with 'watchlist' tag is appropriate pending functional studies.

Panel Version: 2.1076
Summary of PMID:31616000 (PMC:6794285) suggested by Andrea Haworth reviewer: Guo et al assembled phenotypic data for 19 probands and 1 affected sibling with TANC2 variants. Variants include 16 LGD (likely gene-disruptive) variants and three intragenic microdeletions. Phenotypes included ASD, ID, speech-language delay and childhood motor delay:
- 15/20 individuals had ASD/autism features (7 with a formal diagnosis).
- 19/20 individuals had some form of ID (17 with a formal diagnosis of borderline to severe ID, and 2 with learning difficulties without a formal diagnosis).
- 18/20 showed speech-language delay.
- 13/19 individuals had childhood motor delay.
- 11/20 individuals had a formal diagnosis of epilepsy (9) or suffered recurrent seizures (2).
