Severe microcephaly v9.13 VPS36 Ida Ertmanska Classified gene: VPS36 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Severe microcephaly v9.13 VPS36 Ida Ertmanska Added comment: Comment on list classification: While there are 3 unrelated pedigrees reported in literature with biallelic VPS36 variants and microcephaly, the severity of microcephaly is not stated. Hence, it is unclear whether this association fits into the scope of the Severe microcephaly panel.
Severe microcephaly v9.13 VPS36 Ida Ertmanska Gene: vps36 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Severe microcephaly v9.12 VPS36 Ida Ertmanska changed review comment from: PMID: 42362802 Chaurasia et al., 2026
Family 21 - VPS36 exon2-3 deletion - 3 affected sibs, one deceased (8yrs)
Family 51 - consanguineous parents; VPS36 c.1103G>A, p.Arg368His - 2 affected sibs, died at 15 months and 3 years
Family 52 - consanguineous parents; VPS36 c.1103G>A, p.Arg368His - 2 affected sibs, died at 4 months and 21 months
Family 53 - consanguineous parents; VPS36 c.1103G>A, p.Arg368His - 3 affected sibs, deceased; 2 unaffected sibs not genotyped
Probands confirmed homozygous, unaffected parents heterozygous. Families 51-53 = 2 Pakistani and 1 Saudi Arabian family. F51 and F53 (Pakistani) were found to have common ancestry, but F52 had a different haplotype.
Phenotypic spectrum of 6 genotyped affected individuals: microcephaly (5/6), motor & speech delay (6/6), ID (5/5 assessed), seizures (5/6), spasticity (5/5), CC agenesis (6/6), cerebellar atrophy (4/6), ventriculomegaly (5/5).

Individual 16W-0233 - Saudi Arabian patient, homozygous for VPS36:NM_001282169:exon14:c.894-2->T - phenotype: Speech delay, intellectual disability.
