Gene: SLC6A5
Review and rating collated by Tracy Lester (Oxford Medical Genetics Laboratories Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, 2019_02_06) on behalf of Wessex and West Midlands GLH for GMS Neurology specialist test group, for Clinical Indication R59 'Early onset or syndromic epilepsy'. Review contributors: John Taylor and Helen Lord. Suggested gene rating: Amber.Created: 6 Aug 2019, 8:38 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Aug 2019, 8:38 p.m.
Panel Version: 1.189
Comment when marking as ready: The phenotype Hyperekplexia 3, 614618 includes exaggerated startle response to tactile or acoustic stimuli, manifesting as non-epileptic seizures. This phenotype is therefore not relevant to the Genetic epilepsy syndromes panel.Created: 8 Nov 2018, 2:09 p.m.
