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).

Green gene on R27, R29, R59. Biallelic LoF variants lead to Neurodevelopmental disorder with profound hypotonia, neonatal respiratory insufficiency, and thermodysregulation (NEDHRIT) is a severe AR disorder characterised by neonatal respiratory distress, poor feeding, severe GDD/ID, neonatal respiratory insufficiency requiring intervention, cortical visual impairment, cataracts, central temperature dysregulation, dysmorphic features and seizures. Brain MRI features include Brain imaging showed thin corpus or dysplastic corpus callosum in all, with gray matter heterotopia, ectopic or underdeveloped pituitary, brain atrophy, and abnormal signals in the basal ganglia. In additional 2 unrelated patients with a het microdeletion including this gene with a neurological phenotype, there are 4 patients from 4 unrelated families have been reported with biallelic variants with functional data demonstrayting increased RalA activity. There is partially overlapping phenotype between RALAand RALGAPA1-associated diseases with likely that dysregulation of the RalA signaling pathway leads to a distinct group of genetic syndromes called RALopathies.
