Childhood onset dystonia, chorea or related movement disorder v7.20 PTPN1 Ida Ertmanska Tag Q1_26_expert_review tag was added to gene: PTPN1.
Childhood onset dystonia, chorea or related movement disorder v7.20 PTPN1 Ida Ertmanska Classified gene: PTPN1 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Childhood onset dystonia, chorea or related movement disorder v7.20 PTPN1 Ida Ertmanska Added comment: Comment on list classification: There are 11 unrelated individuals reported with heterozygous PTPN1 variants, presenting in childhood with loss of previously acquired skills, spasticity/dystonia, cerebral atrophy, and white matter changes. There is a high degree of non-penetrance, as 9/12 reported patients have inherited the PTPN1 variants from their asymptomatic parents. Hence, this gene is recommended for Green with expert review to determine if the non-penetrance is in scope of testing.
Childhood onset dystonia, chorea or related movement disorder v7.20 PTPN1 Ida Ertmanska Gene: ptpn1 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).

Added comment: PMID: 39986310 Zhu et al., 2025
Reported heterozygous PTPN1 variants in 12 patients from 11 families. 2/10 were canonical splice variants, 2 were missense variants, and 6 were STOP-gain. 3 cases were de novo, 9 individuals inherited the variant from an asymptomatic parent. Sequencing method: WES + Sanger.

Phenotype: 12/12 individuals experienced subacute loss of skills (age range 15 months to 8 years) after initial normal development in 11 of 12 (one patient had mild motor delay); weakness (12/12), spasticity (initially manifesting as a hemiparesis in seven patients and then becoming bilateral) +/- dystonia, bulbar involvement (dysphagia and/or dysphasia) in 11/12 patients; absence of seizures. In 4/12 patients, fever and raised liver enzymes were noted around the time of presentation.

Brain MRI findings: Cerebral atrophy (9/12 patients), non-specific white matter changes (8/12), intracranial calcification (2/12). In 8 cases, the brain abnormalities resolved.Some patients demonstrated stabilisation / recovery of neurological function in the absence of treatment, while in others the disease appeared to respond to immune suppression.

Functional evidence: PMID: 10066179 Elchebly et al., 1999 - Ptpn1 knock-out (KO) mice are both viable and healthy, demonstrating enhanced insulin sensitivity and resistance to metabolic syndrome.

PTPN1 is associated with {Insulin resistance, susceptibility to}, MIM:1258539 in OMIM. It is not associated with disease in ClinGen or Gene2Phenotype (resources accessed 24 Mar 2026).
Probability of loss-of-function intolerance (pLI) score = 1.00 (predicted to be highly intolerant to LoF).
