Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v2.823 TRIM8 Rebecca Foulger Classified gene: TRIM8 as Green List (high evidence)
Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v2.823 TRIM8 Rebecca Foulger Gene: trim8 has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v2.822 TRIM8 Rebecca Foulger Classified gene: TRIM8 as No list
Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v2.822 TRIM8 Rebecca Foulger Added comment: Comment on list classification: TRIM8 was added to the panel and rated Green by Konstantinos Varvagiannis. Assoum et al, (PMID:30244534) summarises six patients with TRIM8 variants; four new patients plus two previous patients from Sakai et al., 2016 (PMID:27346735) and Epi4K Consortium (PMID:23934111). All six patients had global developmental delay and/or intellectual disability (summarised in Table 1). Therefore sufficient unrelated cases from multiple publications to support a Green (diagnostic) rating on the ID panel.
Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v2.822 TRIM8 Rebecca Foulger Gene: trim8 has been removed from the panel.

Review for gene: TRIM8 was set to GREEN
Added comment: PMID: 30244534 is a collaborative study reporting on the phenotype of TRIM8-related epileptic encephalopathy and summarizing the findings in previously published patients. Developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures are common findings in the 6 unrelated individuals reported. Proteinuria was observed in 3 subjects.

Seizures were universal feature with highly variable age of onset (2 months to 3 years and 5 months).

Several individuals were investigated for developmental delay prior to seizure onset (eg. pat.1 had an MRI at 10 months, sat at 16 months, walked at 22 months and developed seizures at 2 years, pat.3 sat at 12 months, walked at 22 and developed seizures at 3 years and 5 months, pat. 4 and 5 had significant/severe delay prior to the age of 21 months when they started having seizures).

All variants reported to date are truncating, affecting the last (sixth exon) and as a result may escape nonsense-mediated decay. Since TRIM8 homodimerizes via its (upstream) coiled-coil domain and its C-terminal domain is required for nuclear localization, a dominant-negative effect is postulated by the authors. Haploinsufficiency appears less likely.

A previously reported patient (from PMID: 27346735) as well as an individual reported by the Epi4K consortium (PMID: 23934111 - among the co-authors of the present study) are included in the table of this article.

As a result this gene can be considered for inclusion in the intellectual disability and epilepsy panels as green.
