Lipodystrophy - childhood onset v2.7 POLR3GL Ivone Leong Classified gene: POLR3GL as Red List (low evidence)
Lipodystrophy - childhood onset v2.7 POLR3GL Ivone Leong Added comment: Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark. There are 3 unrelated families with variants in this gene; however, lipodystrophy is only described in 1 family. Adding as Red gene until further evidence is available.
Lipodystrophy - childhood onset v2.7 POLR3GL Ivone Leong Gene: polr3gl has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
Lipodystrophy - childhood onset v2.5 POLR3GL Zornitza Stark gene: POLR3GL was added
gene: POLR3GL was added to Lipodystrophy - childhood onset. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: POLR3GL was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: POLR3GL were set to 31089205; 31695177
Phenotypes for gene: POLR3GL were set to endosteal hyperostosis; oligodontia; growth retardation; facial dysmorphisms; lipodystrophy
Review for gene: POLR3GL was set to AMBER
Added comment: Biallelic canonical splice variants identified in monozygotic twins and another individual with similar phenotypes from 2 unrelated families. RNA studies confirmed exon skipping occurs in all affected individuals.

A separate study identified a homozygous nonsense variant in an individual with features of Neonatal progeroid syndrome/Wiedemann–Rautenstrauch syndrome. Quantitative PCR showed reduction in mRNA suggestive of NMD.

Three cases altogether but the phenotypes are very different -- may represent a spectrum with the more severe phenotypes resulting from truncating variants but further cases needed.
