Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: There is sufficient evidence to promote this gene to Green at the next GMS panel update - 2 unrelated cases supported by a recapitulated phenotype in an animal model.

Panel Version: 6.11
PMID: 39506047 (2025) reported three individuals from two unrelated families with different homozygous CCN2 variants and kyphomelic dysplasia - all had cleft palate or bifid uvula as part of their phenotype. Ccn2-deficient mice also show skeletal dysmorphisms as well as secondary cleft palate, supporting this association.

Individuals with monoallelic variants in this gene do not exhibit dysmorphic facial phenotypes such as cleft palate (PMID: 39414788).
