Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics). Djordjevic et al. 2021 (PMID:33417887) identified different de novo POLR3B variants in 6 unrelated individuals. EMG/NCSs for 5/6 individuals revealed predominantly demyelinating sensory and motor neuropathy. Other features included ID, ataxia, spasticity.
POLR3B is listed in G2P with a 'probable' disease confidence rating for this phenotype (POLR3B-related neurodevelopmental disorder - monoallelic), but is not yet in OMIM.
Overall, there is sufficient evidence to warrant a Green rating on this panel.Created: 16 Jun 2021, 1:04 p.m. | Last Modified: 16 Jun 2021, 1:04 p.m.

Note biallelic variants cause a leukodystrophy.
New MOI and new phenotype reported in PMID: 33417887: Six unrelated individuals with de novo missense variants and ataxia, spasticity, variable intellectual disability and epilepsy, and predominantly demyelinating sensory motor peripheral neuropathy.
Protein modeling and proteomic analysis shows variants caused aberrant association of individual enzyme subunits rather than affecting overall enzyme assembly or stability.
