Ehlers Danlos syndrome with a likely monogenic cause
Gene: MYH11
There is a clear gene-disease association but in view of the relatively discrete vascular phenotype, this gene would be best placed on the FTAAD panel rather than as a differential diagnosis for those with connective tissue disease. Those with a vascular phenotype in addition would be offered the FTAAD panel in addition. D/W Neeti Ghali, EDS Specialist Clinic who is in agreement.Created: 25 Jul 2017, 1:02 p.m.
Mode of inheritance
MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, imprinted status unknown
Associated with FTAA. Review from EDS National Diagnostic Service North West London Hospital NHS Trust: Dr Angela Brady FRCP PhD, Consultant Clinical Geneticist; Dr Neeti Ghali MBChB MD, Consultant Clinical Geneticist; Dr Fleur S van Dijk MD PhD, Consultant.Created: 7 Jul 2017, 6:29 p.m.
Comment on phenotypes: Removed 'Marfan Syndrome, Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm & Dissection (TAAD), and Related Disorders' as this comes from the name of the sequencing panel from EGL Genetics. Gene on panel could be due to associated to non-syndromicThoracic Aortic Aneurysm & Dissection (TAAD), need to check with clinical team team if this gene should remain on this panel based on update to eligibility statement.Created: 4 May 2017, 10:07 a.m.
25 July 2017 Panel reviews were assessed, and panel was revised according to reviews and further curation.
Phenotypes for MYH11 were set to Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 4, 132900
