This gene and phenotype were reviewed during meetings in July and August 2026. The meetings included representatives of the North Thames and Central and South R21 testing GLHs and from the R21 Clinical Oversight Group. Clinical review and curation was performed by Natalie Chandler & Louise Carr (North Thames GLH), Sarah Graham & Elizabeth Young (Central & South GLH), and Alice Gardham, Esther Kinning, Vicki Harrison, Anna DeBurca, Natalie Canham, Sunayna Best, Soo-Mi Park & Tessa Homfray (R21 Clinical Oversight Group).

Not currently green on any panel but tagged for upgrade to green on Stickler, hearing loss, clefting and retinal disorder panels by Genomics England curators. Biallelic variants associated with spectrum of phenotypes from isolated high myopia to Stickler syndrome. Green on Australian fetal anomalies panel.25663169: Two sibs with AR Stickler syndrome and homozygous p.(Cys676Tyr).26957899: Two probands with high myopia, one homozygous c.39dup; p.L14Afs*21, one compound het c.39dup; p.L14Afs*21 and c.594delG; p.Q199Kfs*35.30362103: Homozygous c.1036C>T (p.Arg346Trp) in child and father both with Stickler syndrome.34787502: Homozygous c.653G>C (p.Arg579Pro) in one proband with Pierre Robin sequence.38957076: Homozygous c.1448_1449del, p.(Thr483Argfs*13) due to paternal UPD in a proband with reduced visual acuity in both eyes, bilateral vitreous syneresis, foveal hypoplasia and bilateral high myopia. Skeletal survey showed spondylo-epi-metaphyseal dysplasia41052910: Likely pathogenic variant c.1735C>T and a variant of uncertain significance c.956G>A in a patient with polyhydramnios, Pierre Robin sequence, high myopia and bilateral conductive hearing loss. Two affected sisters with same variants.Mouse models: Knockout mouse and c.2027G_>_A, p.Cys676Trp mutant show perinatal lethality, cleft palate and spinal deformity (26307084, 36610533).
