Fetal anomalies v1.659 FKBP8 Arina Puzriakova Mode of inheritance for gene: FKBP8 was changed from MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, imprinted status unknown to BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Fetal anomalies v1.658 FKBP8 Arina Puzriakova Classified gene: FKBP8 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Fetal anomalies v1.658 FKBP8 Arina Puzriakova Added comment: Comment on list classification: Additional publication identified by Rhiannon Mellis (GOSH) describing a fetus with severe thoracolumbar scoliosis and caudal spinal cord agenesis and a homozygous (c.C572T:p.P191L) variant in FKBP8 (PMID: 29261186). Note the phenotype and MOI are distinct from other reports (PMID: 32969478).

FKBP8 remains a candidate gene and so maintaining Amber rating in anticipation of additional cases to corroborate pathogenicity.
Fetal anomalies v1.658 FKBP8 Arina Puzriakova Gene: fkbp8 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Fetal anomalies v1.657 FKBP8 Arina Puzriakova Phenotypes for gene: FKBP8 were changed from spina bifida HP:0002414 to Spina bifida, HP:0002414; Vertebral segmentation defects
Fetal anomalies v1.656 FKBP8 Arina Puzriakova Publications for gene: FKBP8 were set to 32969478
Fetal anomalies v1.641 FKBP8 Rhiannon Mellis reviewed gene: FKBP8: Rating: AMBER; Mode of pathogenicity: None; Publications: PMID: 29261186; Phenotypes: Vertebral segmentation defects; Mode of inheritance: BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Fetal anomalies v1.120 FKBP8 Eleanor Williams Classified gene: FKBP8 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Fetal anomalies v1.120 FKBP8 Eleanor Williams Added comment: Comment on list classification: Changing rating from red to amber. 5 cases reported with plausible disease causing variants but only the FKBP8 gene looked at.
Fetal anomalies v1.120 FKBP8 Eleanor Williams Gene: fkbp8 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).

Phenotypes for gene: FKBP8 were set to spina bifida HP:0002414
Review for gene: FKBP8 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Not associated with a phenotype in OMIM.

PMID: 32969478 - Tian et al 2020 - performed Sanger sequencing of FKBP8 on DNA samples from 472 spina bifida (SB) affected fetuses and 565 unaffected controls. 5 different rare heterozygous variants (MAF ≤ 0.001) were identified among the SB patients, while no deleterious rare variants were identified in the controls. 4 of the variants are missense, the other is a stop-gain. 2 cases were in white-Hispanic patients while the other 3 were non-white Hispanic. Functional studies showed that p.Glu140* affected FKBP8 localization to the mitochondria and impaired its interaction with BCL2 ultimately leading to an increase in cellular apoptosis. p.Ser3Leu, p.Lys315Asn and p.Ala292Ser variants decreased FKBP8 protein level. Gene expression was studied in mouse Fkbp8-/- embryos and found to be abnormal. Previous mouse models have shown neural tube defects.

Sufficient cases to rate green, but only the FKBP8 gene looked at so perhaps some caution required while further evidence is gathered.
