Skeletal dysplasia
Gene: MTX2The rating of this gene has been updated following NHS Genomic Medicine Service approval.Created: 6 Mar 2022, 5:41 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Mar 2022, 5:41 p.m.
Panel Version: 2.176
The Genomics England Clinical Team suggested that this gene should be added to this panel as there are enough skeletal features for it to be here. Therefore, this gene has been given an Amber rating and will be promoted to Green at the next review.
Review from Zornitza Stark on the Lipodystrophy - childhood onset:
"Seven individuals from 5 unrelated families reported with severe progeroid form of MAD with growth retardation, small viscerocranium with mandibular underdevelopment, distal acro-osteolyses, lipodystrophy, altered skin pigmentation, renal focal glomerulosclerosis, and extremely severe hypertension in most cases, eventually associated with disseminated arterial calcification. Loss of MTX2 in patients' primary fibroblasts led to loss of Metaxin-1 (MTX1) and mitochondrial dysfunction, including network fragmentation and oxidative phosphorylation impairment. Furthermore, patients' fibroblasts were resistant to induced apoptosis, leading to increased cell senescence and mitophagy and reduced proliferation. Sources: Literature
