Pituitary hormone deficiency
Gene: GHRAfter NHS Genomic Medicine Service consideration, the rating of this gene has not been changed and remains GREENCreated: 31 Jan 2023, 3:01 p.m. | Last Modified: 31 Jan 2023, 4:39 p.m.

Review submitted on behalf of Helen Storr - "This gene is currently on panel R159.1 Pituitary hormone deficiency. It should be removed from this panel as it does not cause GH deficiency - it is causes defective GH signalling."
Variants in this gene confer dysfunction of the growth hormone receptor resulting in altered signalling. GH levels are typically normal or increased and therefore inclusion of GHR on this panel should be re-evaluated by the GMS Endocrinology Specialist Test Group.
GHR may possibly be more appropriate for R147 Growth failure in early childhood, but relevance is currently also pending expert review (https://panelapp.genomicsengland.co.uk/panels/473/gene/GHR/)Created: 4 Jan 2023, 2:53 p.m. | Last Modified: 4 Jan 2023, 2:57 p.m.
Panel Version: 2.104
As discussed in the GMS Endocrinology Specialist Test Group webex call 28th Jan 2019: The Specialist Test Group agreed that there is enough evidence to rate this gene green.Created: 29 Jan 2019, 12:02 p.m.
Comment on list classification: Promoted from amber to green. GHR is confirmed to be associated with the listed phenotypes in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype. It is also a green gene in the IUGR and IGF abnormalities (Version 1.25) panel. There are >3 unrelated cases of patients with Laron syndrome who have variants in the GHR gene listed in OMIM.Created: 8 Jan 2019, 2:42 p.m.
Tag Q1_23_demote_red was removed from gene: GHR. Tag Q1_23_expert_review was removed from gene: GHR.
Tag Q1_23_demote_red tag was added to gene: GHR. Tag Q1_23_expert_review tag was added to gene: GHR.
Phenotypes for gene: GHR were changed from Laron dwarfism (262500); Increased responsiveness to growth hormone (604271); Growth hormone insensitivity, partial (604271) to Laron dwarfism, OMIM:262500; Growth hormone insensitivity, partial, OMIM:604271; Increased responsiveness to growth hormone, OMIM:604271
Ivone Leong: Comment on list classification
Gene: ghr has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
