Neurological ciliopathies v6.21 TTC26 Ida Ertmanska Classified gene: TTC26 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Neurological ciliopathies v6.21 TTC26 Ida Ertmanska Added comment: Comment on list classification: There are more than 3 unrelated individuals reported in literature with biallelic TTC26 variants and a multisystem ciliopathy with neurological involvement. Patients exhibited optic atrophy and pituitary hypoplasia seen on imaging. Animal models support function of TTC26 in ciliogenesis and ciliary function. Hence, this gene should be promoted to Green at the next update.

Report of seven individuals from seven families with syndromic ciliopathy clinical features, including severe neonatal cholestasis (lethal in one, required liver transplant in two cases). Other features: polydactyly (5/7), echogenic kidneys with impaired renal function (5/7), variable cardiac anomalies (5/7).
TTC26 variants detected: NM_024926.4: c.788A>G, p.Asn263Ser (4 patients, shared haplotype); c.1331C>T, p.Pro444Leu (1 patient, and c.4-1G>C (2 patients).

Four patients from two apparently unrelated consanguineous Bedouin families with ciliopathy due to a homozygous TTC26 c.695A>G p.Asn232Ser mutation. Patients had dysmorphic features, early-onset cholestatic jaundice (4/4), pituitary hormone deficiency (2/4), postaxial polydactyly (3/4), ectopic / absent neurohypophysis (posterior lobe of the pituitary gland) on brain MRI.

Nonconsanguineous Saudi family. The female proband exhibited cholestasis, cystic dilatation of intrahepatic biliary ducts, diabetes insipidus, dysmorphic facial features, optic atrophy, hydrocephalus, aqueductal stenosis, hyperextensible knee joints, bilateral knee dislocation, polydactyly, and syndactyly. Brain MRI showed pituitary hypoplasia. She died at 15 months of age.
WGS + Sanger sequencing revealed a homozygous TTC26 variant (c.4-1G>C; NM_024926.3).

Male patient with hexadactyly, pituitary stalk interruption, hepatopathy, nephropathy, unilateral hearing impairment, a congenital heart defect, and a bilateral lip-palate cleft. He was homozygous for TTC26 c.1006-5T> C. Parents are first degree-cousins, Afghan ancestry.

Chinese case of BRENS syndrome who presented with kidney, neurological, skeletal, and other features (no biliary involvement). 3 TTC26 variant detected: c.1069+5G>A inherited from the mother and c.511A>G (p.Ile171Val) and c.1099T>C (p.Ser367Pro) from the father.

Functional evidence:
PMID: 24596149 Ishikawa et al., 2014 - Knockdown of ttc26 in zebrafish embryos or mutation of Dyf13 (TTC26 ortholog) in C. reinhardtii produced short cilia with abnormal motility.

TTC26 is associated with AR Biliary, renal, neurologic, and skeletal syndrome, OMIM:619534 (OMIM accessed 22nd Apr 2026).
