Structural eye disease v1.24 PLK4 Ivone Leong Classified gene: PLK4 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Structural eye disease v1.24 PLK4 Ivone Leong Gene: plk4 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Structural eye disease v1.23 PLK4 Ivone Leong gene: PLK4 was added
gene: PLK4 was added to Structural eye disease. Sources: Literature
watchlist tags were added to gene: PLK4.
Mode of inheritance for gene: PLK4 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: PLK4 were set to 25344692; 25320347; 27650967
Phenotypes for gene: PLK4 were set to Microcephaly and chorioretinopathy, autosomal recessive, 2, OMIM:616171; microcephaly and chorioretinopathy 2, MONDO:0014516
Review for gene: PLK4 was set to AMBER
Added comment: This gene is associated with a relevant phenotype in OMIM and Gene2Phenotype.

PMID: 25344692 describes 3 unrelated families with affected individuals who have biallelic variants in PLK4. All affected individuals have impaired growth/short stature. In one family 3 out of 7 affected individuals have an eye phenotype (ranging from microcornea, microphthalmia and cataract). Family 2 had retinopathy and family 3 did not have an eye exam performed.

PMID: 27650967 describes a case where the affected individual has bilateral microphthalmia and persistant hyperplastic primary vitreous of the left eye. The affected individual also has growth impairment.

PMID: 25320347 describes a case where the affected individuals have retinopathy and impaired growth.

As there are 2 unrelated cases there is currently not enough evidence to support a gene-disease association. This gene has been given an Amber rating.
