Achchuthan Shanmugasundram (Genomics England Curator)

Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: There are five unrelated families reported with congenital anomalies (particularly radial ray anomalies) and monoallelic RPL26 variants. Hence, this gene can be promoted to green rating in the next GMS update.

Panel Version: 7.8
PMID:39268718 reported 8 affected patients from 4 families with RPL26 variants. Detailed phenotyping revealed that these patients mainly presented with multiple congenital anomalies (particularly radial ray anomalies), albeit with variable expression. Mandibulofacial dysostosis and neural tube defects are potential features in DBA11, expanding the growing list of DBS abnormalities.

Mode of inheritance
MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted

Phenotypes
?Diamond-Blackfan anemia 11, OMIM:614900

Publications

Helen Brittain (Genomics England Curator)

Comment when marking as ready: As per Sarah Leigh's review. One case to date with some supporting evidence. Watchlist at present as phenotype is appropriate for inclusion as a broader differential for radial dysplasia.
