Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Red to Amber: 1 Amber review plus reports of Hirschsprung disease in patients with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (e.g. PMID:14556255 and PMID:3812577). Rated as Amber awaiting further cases of HSCR in patients with DHCR7 variants.Created: 14 Aug 2017, 10:40 a.m.
PMID:14556255 (2003) report a 3.5 yr old girl with V326L and F284L missense mutations in DHCR7. Colonic biopsy was consistent with Hirschsprung disease.Created: 14 Aug 2017, 10:36 a.m.
PMID:3812577 (1987) reviewed 19 previously unreported patients who they suggest have Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Autopsy found Hirschsprung disease in 5 of the patients.Created: 5 Jun 2017, 2:49 p.m.

18th October 2017: Revised and approved to Version 1.0 after expert and curator review. An expert list from Mr. Simon Kenny and Professor Robert Hofstra's groups (Alder Hey - Erasmus MC) formed the basis of the original panel. The expert list was then expanded based on a review of literature. Many of the literature genes remain red on the V1.0 panel as they were identified through association studies and/or they represent susceptibility/risk factors for Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR). Sumita Chhabra (Alder Hey) and Erwin Brosens (Erasmus) provided extensive feedback for genes on the panel, together with reviews from Merce Garcia-Barcelo.
This gene has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
