White matter disorders and cerebral calcification - narrow panel
Gene: HIKESHI
The rating of this gene has been updated to Green following NHS Genomic Medicine Service approval.Created: 30 Jan 2023, 4:26 p.m. | Last Modified: 30 Jan 2023, 4:26 p.m.
Panel Version: 2.9
Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics). This gene is associated with a relevant phenotype in OMIM but not in Gene2Phenotype. There is enough evidence to support a gene-disease association. This gene should be rated Green at the next review.Created: 26 May 2021, 3:16 p.m. | Last Modified: 26 May 2021, 3:16 p.m.

PMID: 28000699. Finnish case. Difference variant than what was described in PMID:26545878 (p.Cys4Ser). Diffuse hypomyelination, cystic changes of periventricular white matter, has increased muscle tone, spasticity, ataxia, mild optic atrophy, myopia nystagmus and epilepsy. No feeding difficulties or microcephaly.Created: 26 May 2021, 2:59 p.m. | Last Modified: 26 May 2021, 2:59 p.m.
Panel Version: 1.118
Six children from three unrelated Ashkenazi Jewish families reported, segregating same homozygous variant. Neurodegenerative disorder characterized by infantile onset of delayed psychomotor development, axial hypotonia, and spasticity associated with delayed myelination and periventricular white matter abnormalities on brain imaging. Other features: visual impairment; cardiac failure during acute illness.
