Ivone Leong (Genomics England Curator)

Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics). This gene is associated with a relevant phenotype in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype. There is enough evidence to support a gene-disease association. This gene should be rated Green at the next review.

Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics)

Green List (high evidence)

Keppen-Lubinsky syndrome characterised by severely delayed psychomotor development, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, generalized lipodystrophy giving an aged appearance, and distinctive dysmorphic features, including microcephaly, prominent eyes, narrow nasal bridge, and open mouth.

Four unrelated individuals reported with de novo variants in this gene (one recurred in 2), mouse model. One of the individuals did not have lipodystrophy but had a prominent hyperkinetic movement disorder.
