Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics)

Green List (high evidence)

At least 6 patients reported with a childhood-onset disorder, characterised by leucoencephalopathy, microcephaly, intellectual disability, seizures. Lactic acidosis in one. Brainstem and spinal cord calcifications in one. Postulated to be mitochondrial.
Created: 21 Dec 2018, 4:29 a.m.

Mode of inheritance
BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal

Ellen McDonagh (Genomics England Curator)

Comment on mode of inheritance: For both disorders.
Created: 2 Mar 2016, 12:46 p.m.
Comment on list classification: Promoted from red to green due to expert review, and it is a G2P both DD and IF gene for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, recessive intermediate, B and Deafness, autosomal recessive 89. There seems to be more evidence for the association with deafness (and is a green gene on the congenital deafness panel) as in OMIM there is a ? prior to ?Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, recessive intermediate, B and we have gained mixed reviews for this gene on the Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease panel.
