Sarah Leigh (Genomics England Curator)

As the recommendation is to demote MARS from Green to Red on this panel, the to_be_confirmed_NHSE tag has been added, as further NHSE review is required.

Ian Berry (Leeds Genetics Laboratory)

Green List (high evidence)

Included all genes listed in clinical cases in Lynch et al 2015 PMID:28334938 and Ayrignac et al. 2015 PMID: 25527826. Included all genes with clear adult onset listed in Vanderver 2017 PMID:27159321 and Ahmed et al. 2017 PMID:24357685. A small number of genes from these resources were omitted, particularly those with limited or single case reports referenced in Ahmed et al, those with a metabolic basis (that could be determined by standard metabolic assays), and recessive diseases where the likelihood of encountering incidental carrier status is far more likely than finding a diagnosis e.g. Cockayne syndrome. Due to variable expressivity and potential later onset of phenotype in hypomorphic cases, peroxisomal biogenesis disorders OMIM phenotypic Series PS214100 and GeneReviews PMID:20301621 included.
