Review contributors: John Taylor. Suggested gene rating: Green. ; Changed rating: AMBER
Rebecca Foulger commented on gene: MLC1: In a woman with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts-1 (MLC1; 604004), Lopez-Hernandez et al. (2011, PMID:21624973) identified a homozygous misssense 206C-T variant in the MLC1 gene (p.S69L). The patient had epilepsy amongst her symptoms.
Rebecca Foulger Added comment: Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Amber to Green: Green review by Zornitza. Plus the onset of epileptic seizures is an integral part of the MLC phenotype (PMID:29466841) with plenty of seizure cases in MLC1 patients in PMIDs:29466841 and 21624973.
Rebecca Foulger Phenotypes for gene: MLC1 were changed from Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, 604004 to Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, 604004; generalized tonic-clonic seizures; focal seizures
