This gene and phenotype were reviewed during meetings between November 2023 & July 2024. The meetings included representatives of the North Thames and Central & South R21 testing GLHs and from the R21 Clinical Oversight Group. Clinical review and curation was performed by Natalie Chandler, Alison Male and Lyn Chitty (North Thames GLH), Stephanie Allen, Natalie Bibb, Esther Kinning and Denise Williams (Central & South GLH) and Natalie Canham, Anna De Burca and Samantha Doyle R21 Clinical Oversight Group.

Natalie Canham (Liverpool Women's Hospital)

I don't know

Total of 5 individuals from 3 families reported. Presents with severe and progressive prenatal microcephaly, which would not in itself be accepted for R21. No reported structural anomaly, including in brain. Some cases also have SGA, which would make them eligible though currently no information as to gestational onset. Allelic and much milder disorders also exist. Amber to review if isolated microcephaly added as teting indication.
