I don't know

Comment on list classification: Rating Amber as additional evidence, such as additional cases or functional data, is required to corroborate this new gene-disease association. There is also debate on whether OAVS is a monogenic condition which should be taken into account.

Panel Version: 7.7
PMID: 39333427 (2025) - 8 individuals from 5 families with Oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) and heterozygous predicted LOF variants. No functional studies. Cases were selected through Genematcher and Decipher and were sequencing by WES or WGS.

This gene-disease association is not yet represented in other resources such as PanelApp Australia, Gene2Phenotype or OMIM.
