Comment on list classification: New gene added to this panel by Alexander Rossor (UCL Institute of Neurology). Biallelic variant in PLA2G6 are associated with multiple neurodegenerative phenotypes with overlapping clinical and radiologic features including Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (MIM# 256600), Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (MIM# 610217) and Parkinson disease (MIM# 612953). Although not universal, progressive motor axonal neuropathy has been reported as an early feature in multiple patients harbouring PLA2G6 variants (PMID: 18443314; 25164370; 27882168; 29859652; 30340910). Neuropathy can present earlier than other typical features such as iron accumulation in the brain and has represented the main diagnostic feature in some cases. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to promote this gene to Green at the next GMS panel update.
