Sarah Leigh (Genomics England Curator)

Green List (high evidence)

PMID: 40079362 reports four biallelic terminating C19orf44 variants in cases with late onset retinal dystrophy. The cases were from eleven families, nine of which were homozygous for NM_032207.4: c.549_550del (NP_115583.1: p.(Ser185ProfsTer2)).
Haplotype analysis revealed that there were four different haplotypes amongst the families carrying c.549_550del.
