Comment on list classification: New gene added by Jana Jezkova. There is sufficient evidence to promote this gene to Green at the next GMS panel update.
TAF8 is associated with a relevant phenotype in OMIM (MIM# 619972) but is not yet listed in G2P.
8 individuals from 5 families have been reported in literature (PMIDs: 29648665; 35759269). Four families from different ethnic backgrounds harboured the same c.781-1G>A homozygous variant while sequencing in a sib pair revealed different compound het splice variants (c.45+4A>G and c.489G>A) in the TAF8 gene. Patients presented with an overlapping phenotype including microcephaly (8/8), DD and ID (8/8), spasticity (7/8), and seizures (6/8). Brain MRI have shown hypoplastic corpus callosum, hypomyelination, enlarged ventricles in most subjects, and additionally generalised brain atrophy in two sibs.Created: 9 Aug 2022, 3:23 p.m. | Last Modified: 9 Aug 2022, 3:23 p.m.

Jana Jezkova (All Wales Medical Genomics Service)
Eight patients reported in total. Six patients are homozygous for a recurrent NM_138572.2, c.781-1G>A variant. In two sibling patients, two novel compound heterozygous TAF8 splice site mutations, c.45+4A > G and c.489G>A were identified, which cause aberrant splicing as well as reduced expression and mislocalization of TAF8.
