Red List (low evidence)

This region should be demoted from green to red at the next GMS panel update. ClinGen summary states that heterozygous deletions of this region are not dosage sensitive (https://search.clinicalgenome.org/kb/gene-dosage/region/ISCA-46297)

Homozygous distal 16p12.2 deletions, encompassing the OTOA gene, are associated with autosomal recessive deafness-22 (PMID: 19888295; 31204719; 39916398)

16p12.2 proximal deletions (distinct genomic coordinates) have been linked to neurodevelopmental phenotypes (PMID: 20154674; 25719193; 30836598; 30190612), however the evidence is classified as 'emerging' in ClinGen and is insufficient to add to diagnostic GMS panels at this time (https://search.clinicalgenome.org/kb/gene-dosage/region/ISCA-37409)
