This gene and phenotype were reviewed during meetings between November 2025 & January 2026. The meetings included representatives of the Central & South and North Thames R21 testing GLHs and from the R21 Clinical Oversight Group. Clinical review and curation was performed by Stephanie Allen, Elizabeth Young and Sarah Graham (Central & South GLH), Natalie Chandler and Elizabeth Scotchman (North Thames GLH), and Tazeen Ashraf, Anna De Burca, Natalie Canham, Samantha Doyle, Alice Gardham, Victoria Harrison, Tessa Homfray, Esther Kinning, and Soo-Mi Park (R21 Clinical Oversight Group).

Amber in severe microcepahy, Early onset or syndromic epilepsy and Intellectual disability panels. All with note to promote to Green in Q1 25 PMID: 39636576 (2025) - 12 individuals from 7 unrelated families were identified with homozygous or compound heterozygous missense variants in GTF3C3 (8 unpublished individuals combined with newly ascertained information from 4 published individuals). The cohort presented with intellectual disability, variable nonfamilial facial features, motor impairments, seizures, and cerebellar/corpus callosum malformations. PMID: 40040844 (2025) - 4 patients from 3 unrelated families with biallelic variants in this gene and microcephaly, developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures and distinctive dysmorphic facies. Knockout zebrafish recapitulated the key clinical symptoms including microcephaly, brain anomalies and seizure susceptibility. No prenatal cases reported, but individuals reported to have microcephaly and brain anomalies (including cerebellar/corpis callosum malformations) that would be detectable prenatally.
