Rebecca Foulger edited their review of gene: DHCR24: Added comment: Review and rating collated by Tracy Lester (Oxford Medical Genetics Laboratories Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, 2019_02_06) on behalf of Wessex and West Midlands GLH for GMS Neurology specialist test group, for Clinical Indication R59 'Early onset or syndromic epilepsy'. Review contributors: Alison Callaway and John Taylor. Suggested gene rating: Amber. ; Changed rating: AMBER
Rebecca Foulger Added comment: Comment on list classification: Kept rating as Amber: Confirmed DD-G2P gene for Desmosterolosis but only 2 families reported so far in the literature with seizures as part of the desmosterolosis phenotype: PMIDs:21559050 and 24961299.
Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: DHCR24: Epilepsy not reported as part of phenotype in patients from PMID:21671375 (Schaaf et al 2011) and PMID:11519011 (Waterham et al.2001).
Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: DHCR24: Dias et al, 2014 report two sisters homozygous for the 571G>A (E191K) DHCR24 variant with syndromic ID and desmosterolosis. Each had transient neonatal seizures. The authors also provide a summary table of 9 patients to-date (2014) with DHCR24 and Desmosterolosis. Only this family and the kindred reported by PMID:21559050 exhibit seizures as part of their phenotype.
