Neurological ciliopathies v1.20 ARL3 Ivone Leong Classified gene: ARL3 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Neurological ciliopathies v1.20 ARL3 Ivone Leong Added comment: Comment on list classification: New gene submitted by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics). This gene is associated with a phenotype in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype (possible - RP, and probable - Joubert syndrome).

As there are only 2 cases that have been associated with Joubert syndrome (PMID:30269812) and the knockout mouse model does not appear to have a neurological phenotype (PMID:16565502) this gene has been given an Amber rating until further evidence is available.
Neurological ciliopathies v1.20 ARL3 Ivone Leong Gene: arl3 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Neurological ciliopathies v1.19 ARL3 Ivone Leong Tag watchlist tag was added to gene: ARL3.
Neurological ciliopathies v1.19 ARL3 Ivone Leong Added comment: Comment on publications: PMID:30269812 describes 2 unrelated consanguineous families (Saudi and Pakistani). Both have phenotype resembling Joubert syndrome (night blindness, rod-cone dystrophy, mild dysmorphic features, hypotonia (only in 1 family), ataxia, cerebellar vernis hypoplasia). Both are homozygous missense for the same amino acid residue (R149C, R149H). The authors performed some in vitro functional analysis.

PMID:16565502 describes a knockout mouse model of Arl3. The homozygous knockouts developed ciliary disease affecting kidney, biliary tract, pancreas and retina. However, there was no mention of a brain phenotype.

PMID:31743939 describes 2 large consanguineous Pakastani families with the same homozygous variant (Arg99Ile). There are 8 affected individuals in total and 7/8 had cone-rod dystrophy and no features of Joubert syndrome.

PMID:33748123 describes a Chinese family. Proband is compound het (c.91A>G, p.T31A; c.353G>T, p.C118F) and has retinal dystrophy. Heterozygous father has late onset and mild rode-cone dystrophy. Mother and sister (het) are normal. All family members did not have any other phenotypes.

PMID:26964041 describes a family with affected mother, son and daughter with retinitis pigmentosa. Affected patients were heterozygosity for Y90C. The mother's parents do not have the variant suggesting that it is a de novo event in the mother. No functional studies of the variant were performed.

PMID:30932721 reports a case where a patient has a de novo Y90C variant and has RP.

PMID:34485303 reports a heterozygous Asp67Val variant segregating in an Ashkenazi Jewish family with a dominant inherited retinal degenerations.
Neurological ciliopathies v1.19 ARL3 Ivone Leong Publications for gene: ARL3 were set to 30269812; 16565502
Neurological ciliopathies v1.16 ARL3 Ivone Leong Phenotypes for gene: ARL3 were changed from Joubert syndrome 35 MIM#61816 to Joubert syndrome 35, OMIM:61816
Neurological ciliopathies v1.7 ARL3 Zornitza Stark gene: ARL3 was added
gene: ARL3 was added to Neurological ciliopathies. Sources: Expert list
Mode of inheritance for gene: ARL3 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: ARL3 were set to 30269812; 16565502
Phenotypes for gene: ARL3 were set to Joubert syndrome 35 MIM#61816
Review for gene: ARL3 was set to GREEN
gene: ARL3 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: 4 individuals from 2 unrelated consanguineous families with a phenotype resembling Joubert syndrome with homozygous missense mutations affecting the same residue (R149C, R149H), and supporting in vitro functional assays. An Arl3 null mouse model has a ciliary disease phenotype affecting the kidney, biliary tract, pancreas, and retina.
