Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: There is sufficient evidence to promote this gene to Green at the next GMS panel update based on 27 individuals from 25 families identified in PMID: 40965981 with start-loss (89%) or missense (11%) variants, confirmed de novo in 23/27 (plus 2 sibs with variant inherited from symptomatic mother, and segregation data unavailable in 2 others).

Prenatal ultrasound was abnormal in thirteen (48%), revealing short femora (5/13, 38%), IUGR (31%), hydramnios (2/13, 15%), increased nuchal translucency (15%), asymmetry of heart cavities (1/13, 8%), and bilateral hydronephrosis (8%). It led to the diagnosis of skeletal dysplasia in two.

Ronnie Wright (North West GLH)

Green List (high evidence)

One publication (PMID: 40965981). 27 individuals from 25 families, predominantly with start loss variants (recurring de novo).

'Affected individuals presented with a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder and variable skeletal dysplasia with disproportionate short-limbed short stature. Intellectual functioning ranged from normal to moderately delayed'
'Additional clinical features included skin, nail, and hair anomalies (52%), dental anomalies (37%), ophthalmological findings (44%), and cardiovascular defects (22%)'

For the start loss variants, re-initiation of translation at p.Met31 is shown to be occurring by authors, and leads to reduced nuclear localization, enhanced cytoplasmic retention and increased protein stability.

Authors showed a recognizable methylation episignature.

Cases in CVA (incl 1 North West GLH), at least some of which share syndromic phenotypic features consistent with the literature report.
