Green List (high evidence)

Comment on list classification: There are at least three unrelated cases with syndromic neuropathy. Hence, this gene can be recommended for promotion to green rating in the next GMS update.

PMID:30850329 reported the identification of a homozygous NFASC variant (p.Val1122Glu) in two siblings from an Italian family. The patients presented with early-onset cerebellar ataxia and demyelinating neuropathy.

PMID:31501903 reported the identification of one frameshift and four different homozygous non-synonymous variants in NFASC gene in ten individuals from six unrelated families. They presented with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised with a spectrum of central (intellectual disability, developmental delay, motor impairment, speech difficulties) and peripheral (early onset demyelinating neuropathy) neurological involvement. Neuropathy was reported in at least three patients from two different families.

This gene has been associated with relevant phenotype in OMIM (MIM #618356), which lists demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy as one of the clinical manifestations observed in some of the patients.
