Comment on list classification: There are only two patients reported with neuropathy so far. Hence, this gene should be rated amber with current evidence.

PMID:26783368 reported three patients from two unrelated families with EMPF2 and with biallelic MFF variants. Patient 1 (an Austrian boy) was identified with compound heterozygous variants (p.Leu62Profs*13; p.Arg298Ter) and had mixed form of peripheral neuropathy shown on compound muscle action potential. Patient 3 (one of two Turkish siblings) had phenotype consistent with demyelinating peripheral neuropathy, which was absent in his brother. They had homozygous p.Glu153Alafs*5 variants.

Although EMPF2 was reported in other patients (PMIDs: 22499341; 32181496; 34750646), neuropathy was not reported in them.
