White matter disorders and cerebral calcification - narrow panel
Gene: POLR3KComment 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.
PMID: 30584594. 2 affected individuals from 2 consanguineous families from same area in Algeria. Affected indviduals had global developmental delay with loss of motor, speech and cognitive milestones. Individuals also showed signs of nystagmus, ataxia, dystonia and spasticity. Both individuals had feeding difficulties and were tube fed, growth failure and microcephaly (-3 SD), and cryptorchidism. 1 patient had optic atrophy and hypodontia and the other patient had hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Both individuals have the same variant (may be founder effect).
As other members of the same gene family are linked to similar phenotypes this gene has been given an Amber rating.Created: 19 May 2021, 10:07 a.m. | Last Modified: 19 May 2021, 10:07 a.m.
Panel Version: 1.98
Two individuals from same ethnic background reported with a common homozygous missense variant in this gene, suggestive of founder effect. Some functional evidence, and note other gene family members are linked to similar phenotypes.
Neurodegenerative phenotype: global developmental delay apparent from infancy with loss of motor, speech, and cognitive milestones in the first decades of life.
