Rebecca Foulger Added comment: Comment on list classification: Updated gene from Amber to Green: As noted by Konstantinos Varvagiannis, an additional 2018 study has been published associating a new GABBR2 variant (A707T) with a RETT-like phenotype including intellectual impairment (PMID:29369404). This adds to the previous papers documenting the recurring p.Ala567Thr variant in RETT-like patients from Portugal (PMID:26740508) and Korea (PMID:28856709). Plus OMIM has been updated since the Dec 2017 curation to include neurodevelopmental disorder MIM:617904. Thirdly, email correspondence from J. Evans notes a patient with a relevant phenotype and a previously-published pathogenic variant in GABBR2. Therefore sufficient unrelated cases to support a Green rating.
Rebecca Foulger Phenotypes for gene: GABBR2 were changed from EPILEPTIC ENCEPHALOPATHY; Rett syndrome to EPILEPTIC ENCEPHALOPATHY; Rett syndrome; Neurodevelopmental disorder with poor language and loss of hand skills, 617903
