Ataxia and cerebellar anomalies - narrow panel
Gene: RUBCNComment on list classification: Gene was reassessed following a Green review by Zornitza Stark. Five individuals from two consanguineous Saudi families have been identified (PMID: 20826435; 32450808) who presented with early-onset ataxia, dysarthria, and developmental delay. All harboured the same c.2624delC variant, which was confirmed to be a founder variant by autozygosity mapping. Limited functional data showing the variant results in mislocalisation of the mutant protein from the late endosome and lysosomes to diffuse cytosolic distribution.
*Note the third publication identified by Zornitza (PMID:30237576) refers to the same sib pair as in PMID:32450808. The variants appeared distinct as the two papers refer to different reference sequences (NM_014687 vs NM_001145642.2) but the variant/case are in fact the same.

Overall as there is only a single variant in a single population with only limited in vitro functional support, maintaining Red rating on this panel until further evidence on the gene/variants emerges.Created: 16 Jun 2021, 3:51 p.m. | Last Modified: 16 Jun 2021, 3:51 p.m.
