After NHS Genomic Medicine Service consideration, the rating of this gene has not been changed. The reviewers note that the penetrance of limb defects seems low and dev delay main feature - gene is already green on R29 (Intellectual disability) and R27 (Paediatric disorders) panels.Created: 5 Mar 2022, 8:17 p.m. | Last Modified: 5 Mar 2022, 8:17 p.m.

Comment on list classification: Leaving the rating at amber for now, but with recommendation for green rating following GMS review as there are now several more cases with hand anomalies relevant to this panel reported in the publication from Castilla-Vallmanya et al 2020Created: 21 Jan 2021, 5:48 p.m. | Last Modified: 21 Jan 2021, 5:48 p.m.

PMID: 32376980 - Castilla-Vallmanya et al 2020 - report on a set of 45 patients with a developmental delay-malformation syndrome in which heterozygous missense variants in TRAF7 were identified. Variable anomalies of the hands were reported including brachydactyly (n = 6), and syndactyly (n = 5).Created: 21 Jan 2021, 5:46 p.m. | Last Modified: 21 Jan 2021, 5:46 p.m.

Comment on list classification: From Genomics England clinical team - there is evidence of a gene:disease association, however the reported limb differences (distal contractures, altered creases or overlapping digits) do not particularly align with the clinical indication for this panel. One subject in the paper has quite marked radial / ulnar directional deformities of the digits though, therefore amber. Green on Intellectual disability, fetal anomalies, DDG2P panels.Created: 26 Nov 2019, 12:08 a.m. | Last Modified: 26 Nov 2019, 12:09 a.m.

Associated with Cardiac, facial, and digital anomalies with developmental delay (#618164) in OMIM and Developmental Delay, Congenital Anomalies, and Dysmorphic Features in Gene2Phenotype.
PMID: 29961569 - Tokita et al. 2018 - 7 cases. They report missense variants in TRAF7 in seven unrelated individuals referred for clinical exome sequencing. There was substantial phenotypic overlap between individuals, with developmental delay, congenital heart defects, limb and digital anomalies, and dysmorphic features as key features. 6 individuals had de novo variants (absence of paternal DNA in one patient did not allow confirmation of a de novo variant), with four distinct missense changes, including a c.1964G>A (p.Arg655Gln) variant in 4 individuals. The variants affect evolutionarily conserved amino acids and are located in key functional domains.
All 7 subjects had limb and digital anomalies to a variable degree, including variant palmar/digital crease patterns (n = 6) and overlapping toes (n = 5) and clinodactyly (n=3). One subject (Subject 3) had more extensive involvement of the musculoskeletal system including scoliosis with degenerative joint disease, an asymmetric sternum, bilateral avascular necrosis of the hip, tibial malformation, valgus deformity of the ankles, flexion contractures of the hands, and subluxation of multiple joints in the hands and feet.Created: 7 Aug 2019, 9:24 a.m. | Last Modified: 7 Aug 2019, 9:38 a.m.
