Hereditary neuropathy or pain disorder
Gene: EMILIN1
Comment on list classification: As reviewed by Zornitza Stark, there are two unrelated families in support of the association of monoallelic EMILIN1 variants with peripheral neuropathy and hence this gene should be rated amber with current evidence.Created: 6 Jan 2024, midnight | Last Modified: 6 Jan 2024, midnight
Panel Version: 3.71
Mode of inheritance
MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Phenotypes
Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal dominant 10, OMIM:620080
Missense mutations identified in two families. First family, proband presented with ascending and descending aortic aneurysms, bilateral lower leg and foot sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, arthropathy, and increased skin elasticity. Variant segregated with disease in the affected proband, mother, and son. Second family, father and three affected children showed amyotrophy and weakness of the distal lower limbs, dating back to early childhood. Some functional studies performed in patient fibroblasts and zebrafish, however these were not conclusive as the two missense mutations are at different locations within the protein.
