C21ORF2 first reported as a cause of autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy (a homozygous
splicing mutation), but it was a single family (23105016). This gene was then identified as a cilial gene in a Nature Genetics paper (26167768), using a genome-wide siRNA knockdown strategy for ciliogenesis. Included within this paper were four families, all of whom had homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations and a spectrum of clinical phenotypes including retinal dystrophy with additional thoracic outlet features in some. Most recently another paper has described axial SMD in cases with mutations in this gene.Created: 16 Sep 2018, 7:08 p.m.
