Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.518 RNF13 Helen Lord changed review comment from: Agree there are 3 unrelated cases - so recladsify as green; to: Agree there are 3 unrelated cases - so reclassify as green
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.518 RNF13 Helen Lord edited their review of gene: RNF13: Added comment: Agree there are 3 unrelated cases - so recladsify as green; Changed rating: GREEN
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.491 RNF13 Sarah Leigh Tag for-review was removed from gene: RNF13.
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.491 RNF13 Sarah Leigh commented on gene: RNF13: The rating of this gene has been updated following NHS Genomic Medicine Service approval.
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.490 RNF13 Sarah Leigh Source Expert Review Green was added to RNF13.
Rating Changed from Amber List (moderate evidence) to Green List (high evidence)
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.196 RNF13 Arina Puzriakova Classified gene: RNF13 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.196 RNF13 Arina Puzriakova Added comment: Comment on list classification: Changed rating from Green to Amber so that Green genes on this panel reflect the NHS signed-off version. This will be reviewed at the next GMS panel update (added 'for-review' tag).
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.196 RNF13 Arina Puzriakova Gene: rnf13 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.195 RNF13 Arina Puzriakova Tag for-review tag was added to gene: RNF13.
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.26 RNF13 Sarah Leigh Classified gene: RNF13 as Green List (high evidence)
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.26 RNF13 Sarah Leigh Gene: rnf13 has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Early onset or syndromic epilepsy v2.25 RNF13 Sarah Leigh changed review comment from: Associated with relevant phenotype in OMIM and as probable Gen2Phen gene. At least 2 variants reported in 3 unrelated cases, together with supportive functional studies.; to: Associated with relevant phenotype in OMIM and as probable Gen2Phen gene. At least 2 variants reported in 3 unrelated cases, together with supportive functional studies. Gain-of-function mechanism has been reported, therefore the mutational spectrum may be limited and is still to be determined through further cases or further functional studies (view of Helen Britain, GeL Clincial Fellow).

Added comment: Edvardson et al. (doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2018.11.018) report on 3 unrelated individuals with heterozygous de novo missense RNF13 variants.

Features included (rather borderline) congenital microcephaly, feeding difficulties, tone abnormalities, DD/ID (3/3), seizures (3/3), hearing loss and cortical visual impairment.

One individual harbored the p.Leu311Ser variant while 2 others the p.Leu312Pro.

RNF13 encodes a protein known to interact and activate IRE1a, an endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) stress sensor.

The 2 variants are predicted in silico not to affect the tertiary structure of the protein. Further to this, RNF13 is tolerant to LoF variants (pLI of 0 in ExAC). Therefore a gain-of-function mechanism was hypothesized for the 2 missense variants and demonstrated for the Leu311Ser:
- Protein levels were similar to controls upon Western blotting in patient fibroblasts.
- Enhanced IRE1a activation was demonstrated in patient cells when compared to controls, confirming gain-of-function.
- Increased activation (/ER stress), in turn, resulted in abnormally increased apoptosis similarly to what is observed in other neurological disorders.

Fibroblast/lymphoblast cells were not available from individuals with the Leu312Pro variant although a similar mechanism is presumed.

Although neurodegeneration is suggested by the above pathophysiologic mechanism, this is manifested by failure to achieve milestones (rather than eg. regression after a normal period of postnatal development / loss of milestones).
---------
RNF13 is not associated with any phenotype in OMIM, nor in G2P.
---------
As a result, RNF13 can be considered for inclusion in this panel possibly as green (or amber).
