Arina Puzriakova (Genomics England Curator)

Red List (low evidence)

Comment on list classification: As the evidence for the association of SIX5 with branchio-oto-renal syndrome is disputed, this gene should be considered for demotion to red rating in the next GMS update.
Created: 22 Oct 2025, 1:22 p.m. | Last Modified: 22 Oct 2025, 1:22 p.m.
Panel Version: 6.12
This gene-disease association has been rated as 'DISPUTED' by ClinGen (https://search.clinicalgenome.org/CCID:006145) Multiple families reported but reported variants are high in frequency in population databases, have no evidence of pathogenicity, and/or an alternate cause of disease has later been reported (21280147). Two independent SIX5 mouse models have cataracts and no ear or kidney abnormalities (10802667, 10802668) which are typical of branchio-oto-renal syndrome.
