Fetal anomalies v5.78 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Tag Q2_24_promote_green was removed from gene: KCNK9.
Tag Q2_24_NHS_review was removed from gene: KCNK9.
Fetal anomalies v5.78 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram commented on gene: KCNK9: The rating of this gene has been updated to green and the mode of inheritance set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, paternally imprinted (maternal allele expressed) following NHS Genomic Medicine Service approval.
Fetal anomalies v5.77 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Source Expert Review Green was added to KCNK9.
Rating Changed from Amber List (moderate evidence) to Green List (high evidence)
Fetal anomalies v5.16 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram commented on gene: KCNK9: This gene and phenotype were reviewed during meetings between November 2024 & January 2025. The meetings included representatives of the Central & South and North Thames R21 testing GLHs and from the R21 Clinical Oversight Group. Clinical review and curation was performed by Stephanie Allen, Natalie Bibb, and Sarah Graham (Central & South GLH), Natalie Chandler and Elizabeth Scotchman (North Thames GLH), and Sunayna Best, Anna De Burca, Natalie Canham, Samantha Doyle, Alice Gardham, Victoria Harrison, Esther Kinning, Sahar Mansour, Soo-Mi Park, and Elizabeth Wall (R21 Clinical Oversight Group).
Fetal anomalies v5.15 KCNK9 Natalie Chandler reviewed gene: KCNK9: Rating: AMBER; Mode of pathogenicity: ; Publications: 36307859; Phenotypes: Birk-Barel syndrome, MIM#612292; Mode of inheritance: MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, paternally imprinted (maternal allele expressed)
Fetal anomalies v5.13 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Source NHS GMS was added to KCNK9.
Fetal anomalies v4.17 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Tag Q2_24_NHS_review tag was added to gene: KCNK9.
Fetal anomalies v4.15 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Classified gene: KCNK9 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Fetal anomalies v4.15 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Added comment: Comment on list classification: There are several unrelated cases reported with KCNK9 variants and Birk-Barel syndrome (MIM #612292). Clinical presentations include motor and speech delay, impaired intellectual development, early feeding difficulties, muscular hypotonia, behavioral abnormalities and dysmorphic features.

In addition, this gene has also been associated with phenotypes on the DD panel of Gene2Phenotype resource with 'limited' rating.

As reviewed by Sarah Graham, a foetus has also been reported with KCNK9 variant and with phenotypes consistent with this disorder.

Hence, this gene can be promoted to green rating in the next GMS update.
Fetal anomalies v4.15 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Gene: kcnk9 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Fetal anomalies v4.14 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Phenotypes for gene: KCNK9 were changed from to Birk-Barel syndrome, OMIM:612292
Fetal anomalies v4.13 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Publications for gene: KCNK9 were set to PMID: 36307859
Fetal anomalies v4.12 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Tag Q2_24_promote_green tag was added to gene: KCNK9.
Fetal anomalies v4.12 KCNK9 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram reviewed gene: KCNK9: Rating: GREEN; Mode of pathogenicity: None; Publications: 36307859; Phenotypes: Birk-Barel syndrome, OMIM:612292; Mode of inheritance: MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, paternally imprinted (maternal allele expressed)
Fetal anomalies v4.3 KCNK9 Sarah Graham gene: KCNK9 was added
gene: KCNK9 was added to Fetal anomalies. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: KCNK9 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, paternally imprinted (maternal allele expressed)
Publications for gene: KCNK9 were set to PMID: 36307859
Review for gene: KCNK9 was set to GREEN
Added comment: The recurrent p.(Gly236Arg) variant is well established as the cause of KCNK9 Imprinting Syndrome / Birk-Barel Syndrome (OMIM #612292) when present on the maternal allele. This variant has been reported as a de novo finding on exome sequencing in a fetus with scan findings consistent with this disorder (micrognathia, cleft palate). PMID: 36307859
