Clefting
Gene: POGZ
Comment on list classification: Although there are more than three unrelated cases reported with either cleft palate or bifid uvula in total, this phenotype is not consistently present in patients with monoallelic variants in POGZ gene. Hence, this gene should only be rated amber.Created: 20 Jun 2023, 5:52 p.m. | Last Modified: 20 Jun 2023, 5:52 p.m.

PMID:26739615 - Five unrelated individuals were identified with de novo truncating variants in POGZ gene, of which one individual had cleft palate and another one had bifid uvula.
PMID:31782611 - In this cohort of 22 individuals with 21 different loss of function variants in POGZ, two patients were reported with bifid uvula.
DECIPHER database - Of 42 patients with heterozygous sequence variants, one had cleft palate and another one had bifid uvula (PMID:37010288).
The OMIM entry for White-Sutton syndrome (MIM #616364) does not currently include cleft lip/ palate as one of the clinical manifestations of this syndrome.
