Comment on list classification: Rating Green on this 100K panel as there is a sufficient number of unrelated cases with the same phenotype and functional data to support this gene-disease association.

At least 12 unrelated families reported (PMID: 40683276) with biallelic variants in this gene associated with severe, acute-onset axonal neuropathy following infection. Eight different missense variants were identified. In vitro studies indicate that variants reduced the thermal stability of the RCC1 protein and some variants decreased GDP-to-GTP exchange activity. Patient fibroblasts under stress, revealed defects in Ran nuclear localisation and impaired nucleocytoplasmic transport. A Drosophila model demonstrated that altered Rcc1 function leads to fatal intolerance to oxidative stress.
