Retinal disorders
Gene: SPTLC2Comment on list classification: New gene added by Dmitrijs Rots (RadboudUMC). This gene is associated with a phenotype in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype.
PMID: 31509666 reported on 2 unrelated families (family 1 and 2) and 3 unrelated individuals (patients 1, 2 and 3) who have HSAN1 and have variants in SPTLC1 (2 families and patient 1 have the same heterozygous variant C133Y, and patient 2 and 3 have C133W, also heterozygous). Those with the C133Y variant have HSAN1 and macular telangiectasia type 2 and those with C133W variant only have HSAN1 and no eye phenotype. The authors note that patients with C133W both patients were under the age of 50 and had been treated with serine supplementation.
Affected members of family 3 was diagnosed with HSAN1C and were heterozygous for S384F in SPTLC2 and macular telangiectasia type 2.
As there is only one case, there is not enough evidence to support a gene-disease association. This gene has been given a Red rating.Created: 28 Sep 2021, 10:42 a.m. | Last Modified: 28 Sep 2021, 10:42 a.m.
