Comment on list classification: New gene added by Hannah Knight (Moorfields Eye Hospital). This gene is associated with a relevant phenotype in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype. There is enough evidence to support a gene-disease association. This gene should be rated Green at the next review.Created: 12 Apr 2021, 2:11 p.m. | Last Modified: 12 Apr 2021, 2:11 p.m.

Only three reported mutations to our knowledge:
c.154T>C; p.Ser52Pro (most common)
c.367G>A; p.Asp123Asn
c.559G>A; p.Gly187Arg
For some patients, the retinal disorder can be the first manifestation of the condition, prior to developing neurological symptoms. We believe this gene should be on the retinal disorders panel to enable a quicker diagnosis and pre-emptive referrals to neurology.
