Retinal disorders
Gene: FRMD7Comment on list classification: New gene added by Mohammed Derar (University of Leeds). This gene is associated with a disease in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype.
PMID: 35157951 found patients with FRMD7 variants had grade 1 foveal hypoplasia or normal foveal morphology.
PMID: 30025138 did not perform any tests to look at foveal hypoplasia.
PMID: 33531592 showed a an FRMD7 variant in one sibling (proband) of a dizygotic twin pair. The other sibling is unaffected. The family reported nystagmus in another male sibling and the maternal grandfather; however, it is unclear whether these two individuals were also tested for FRMD7 variant. The proband had foveal hypoplasia. As it does not appear all patients with variants
PMID: 30015830 identified causative variants in two brothers from a Chinese family who had been diagnosed with idiopathic congenital nystagmus. Retinal OCT was conducted and was found to be normal.
Nystagmus is the presenting feature and foveal hypoplasia does not appear to affect all individuals with FRMD7 variants. This gene is already Green on the "Albinism or congenital nystagmus" (version 1.23) panel; therefore, this gene will remain as Amber for now.Created: 25 May 2022, 9:27 a.m. | Last Modified: 26 May 2022, 7:28 a.m.

Mutations in FRMD7 are known to cause infantile nystagmus in an X-linked inheritance (Choi et al., 2018). Recently, with the aid of spectral domain OCT, patients with missense, splice site and nonsense variants in FRMD7 showed a shallow foveal pit diagnosed as grade 1foveal hypoplasia (Thomas et al., 2014)
