Added comment: Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in CTNNA2 cause cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 9 (MIM 618174).
-------
Schaffer et al. (PMID: 30013181) report on 7 individuals from 3 unrelated consanguineous families. All individuals presented with profoundly impaired motor and cognitive development (severe ID in 6/7 for whom this information was available, all 6 from 2 families - a further individual from the 3rd family was non-ambulatory with absent speech at the age of 28 months), with acquired microcephaly and intractable seizures (7/7 - onset: 6m-3y - atonic/myoclonic/infantile spasms). Pachygyria without posterior-anterior gradient or focal dysplasias was common to all.

CTNNA2 encodes αN-catenin. It is expressed in human fetal brain, mainly in regions expressing migration markers DCX and TUJ1. Reduced migration was shown for iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells from an affected individual, compared to controls. The protein contains a putative actin-binding domain (ABD) at its C terminus. Several lines of evidence are provided that this domain is critical for the process of neuronal migration.
-------
CTNNA2 is included in the DD panel of G2P associated with disordered cortical neuronal migration (Disease confidence: probable / ID and seizures among the phenotypes assigned to this entry).

This gene is not commonly included in gene panels for intellectual disability.
-------
As a result CTNNA2 could be considered for inclusion in this panel as amber or possibly green.
