Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: As reviewed by Tracy Lester, the phenotypes observed are relevant to R27 Paediatric disorders clinical indication. In addition, this gene is currently missing in DDG2P panel and the phenotypes are not relevant to any other components of R27.

There is sufficient evidence available for green rating and hence this gene should be promoted to green in the next GMS review.

Panel Version: 6.10
There are at least five unrelated patients reported with five different monoallelic HMGA2 variants (four deletions and one substitution) and Silver-Russell syndrome in the above listed publications.

Silver-Russell syndrome is characterised by intrauterine growth retardation, with feeding difficulties in early childhood and postnatal growth failure.

This gene has been associated with relevant phenotypes in OMIM (MIM #618908), but not yet in Gene2Phenotype.

Green List (high evidence)

This gene is on the R453 panel but absent from R27 - adding so that syndromic cases of short stature have all genes on the R453 panel covered.
