Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: There is sufficient evidence available for the promotion of this gene to green rating in the next GMS update.

Panel Version: 9.43
PMID:39721588 reported 29 unrelated individuals with a complex neurodevelopmental syndrome, which includes developmental delay (26/28), autism (16/26), intellectual disability (14/25), epilepsy (11/27), movement disorders (6/26) and/ or genital anomalies (4/25) as presenting phenotypes. They were all identified with variants in UBR5 gene, of which 28 had monoallelic inheritance (24 with de novo, 1 with maternal, 1 with maternal mosaic and 2 with unknown inheritance), while one had recessive inheritance.

Of the 28 patients with monoallelic variants, 16 had global developmental delay, 13 had ID and 10 patients had epilepsy/ seizures. The single patient with biallelic variant had severe/ profound ID, developmental delay and epileptic encephalopathy.

Functional evidence is also available from C. elegans and in vitro ubiquitination assays.

This gene is associated with phenotype in Gene2Phenotype (with 'moderate' rating on the DD panel), but not yet in OMIM.
