Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: Upgraded from Red to Amber, but there is sufficient evidence linking biallelic variants to a relevant phenotype to rate this gene Green at the next GMS panel update (added 'for-review' tag)

Panel Version: 3.745
Biallelic variants are associated with severe arthrogryposis and global developmental delay, including moderate to severe ID. At least 5 unrelated families have been reported with this phenotype (PMIDs: 30244176; 29053766; 28516161) which reaches threshold for inclusion on this panel.

On the other hand, monoallelic variants are associated with a phenotype primarily characterised by dystonia. There have been some reports of developmental delay, but cognitive function is mostly preserved. As highlighted in the previous review by Rebecca Foulger (Genomics England), the evidence linking monoallelic variants with ID is insufficient.

Mode of inheritance
BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal

Phenotypes
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita 5, OMIM:618947; Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita 5, MONDO:0100218

Red List (low evidence)

TOR1A is listed as a known ID in Gilissen 2014 paper (PMID:24896178, Supplementary Table 10). However on searching for the source of the ID patients harbouring TOR1A variants, none were listed in PMID:23033978 (De Ligt et al. 2012) which was used to form part of the Gilissen ID list. No further ID evidence from the literature, and Helen Brittain confirms that the majority of the information aligns with causation for dystonia, rather than ID.
