I don't know

Submitted on behalf of NHS GMS "No - Think the EPAS1 mutations associated with PCC are generally somatic not germline. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33300499/ describes some germline variants but describes them as hypomorphic so not sure its ready to be elevated amber gene"

This gene was suggested to be added and given a Green rating by Ruth Casey (Cambridge University Hospital). No other evidence was provided.

This gene is associated with a phenotype in OMIM. It has been reported as somatic gain of function variants in patients who present with PPGL and sporadic tumours (PMID: 22931260, 23418310).

PMID: 33300499 looked at EPAS1 germline variants in patients who has PPGL. Half of them have germline variants in EPAS1 and a known PPGL gene, other half has just EPAS1 variants. There are no details about whether these people had a family history of PPGL.
