Adult onset neurodegenerative disorder
Gene: MARS2
Thiffault et al. (2006) reported 23 French Canadian individuals from 17 families with spastic ataxia and brain white matter changes. The transmission pattern was consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. Age at onset ranged from 2 to 59 years with a mean age of 15 yearsCreated: 2 Sep 2019, 4:06 p.m. | Last Modified: 2 Sep 2019, 4:06 p.m.

Comment on list classification: Prior to GLH sign off for this panel, MARS2 was discussed further by the specialist test group. It was agreed by all GLHs (Wessex and West Midlands GLH, Yorkshire and North East GLH, London North GLH) to upgrade this gene to Amber as the the evidence of a primary phenotype associated with this indication (dementia/ALS/Parkinsonism), was not strong enough to rate MARS2 Green. The difficulty of detecting the rearrangements by WGS was also raised so agreed to make AmberCreated: 28 Nov 2019, 2:07 p.m. | Last Modified: 28 Nov 2019, 2:07 p.m.
