Review for gene: NOTCH3 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Monoallelic variants in the NOTCH3 gene are associated with multiple phenotypes including CADASIL (MIM# 125310), Lateral Meningocele syndrome (MIM# 130720), and Myofibromatosis (MIM# 615293).

Currently, CADASIL and myofibromatosis phenotypes are covered by several PanelApp panels; however, Lateral Meningocele syndrome is not - there is enough evidence to support inclusion of this gene-disease association on a diagnostic-grade panel.

At least 5 unrelated de novo cases have been reported in literature (PMID: 25394726). All variants are truncating and cluster in the last exon of NOTCH3. Truncated proteins are predicted to cause increased notch signalling.
An additional case was identified in Genomics England's Clinical Variant Archive (CVA) dataset via the Diagnostic Discovery initiative. The participant was recruited with Lateral Meningocele syndrome (inclusive of hypertelorism, high palate, dural ectasia, high pitched voice) and a diagnostically reported variant in the last exon of this gene was returned, lending further support to adding this gene to the panel.

R27 appears to be the most phenotypically relevant panel for detecting Lateral Meningocele syndrome; however, the possibility of incidental findings of CADASIL needs to be considered. Both phenotypes are caused by GoF variants but those associated with CADASIL are located in exons 2-24 whereas variants in Lateral Meningocele found in exon 33 (last exon).

Given the risk of incidental findings without a mechanism to delineate the types of variants that are prioritised via each panel, the best route for inclusion of Lateral Meningocele syndrome in PanelApp will be flagged for further NHSE expert discussion at the next GMS panel update release.
