Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: COL4A6: Added comment: Further review of PMID:33840813; Family A: - Proband is hemi for COL4A6 and het for GJB2. Mother is het for COL4A6 - hypothesised that in the proband is more severe than the parents due to additive effects of his two variants however, mother's audiometric data was unavailable to confirm this. Family B: - Variant does not segregate within family with the proband being WT in this gene - NM_001287758.1: c.3272G>C is the mutation however, it appears to be an annotation error as it corresponds to NC_000023.11:g.108171443 in GRCh38. At that position, the c. is T not G and the amino acid residue is Val, not Gly. In addition, there is a missense affecting Gly of GXY in gnomad v3 with 38 hemis.; Changed rating: RED; Changed publications: 33840813; Changed phenotypes: Deafness, X-linked 6 MIM#300914; Changed mode of inheritance: X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females |

Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Rated as 'strong actionability' for paediatric patients by ClinGen. The mean age of onset of symptoms (usually a syncopal episode) of CPVT is between age seven and twelve years; onset as late as the fourth decade of life has been reported. Nearly 60% of patients have at least one syncopal episode before age 40. If untreated, CPVT is highly lethal, as approximately 30% of genetically affected individuals experience at least one cardiac arrest and up to 80% one or more syncopal spells. In untreated patients, the 8-year fatal or near-fatal event rates of 25% have been reported. Sudden death may be the first manifestation of the disease. Beta-blockers lacking intrinsic sympathomimetic activity are recommended as a first-line therapy in all patients with a clinical diagnosis of CPVT, including those with documented spontaneous, stress-induced VAs. Guidelines differ in their recommendations about utilizing beta-blocker therapy in phenotype negative individuals. Treatment with beta blockers is associated with a reduction in adverse cardiac events. However, variability in outcome with beta-blocker therapy is due to multiple factors, including dosing and compliance. In a study of 101 patients with CPVT (22 diagnosed clinically and 79 diagnosed molecularly), 81 were administered beta-blockers (57 symptomatic and 24 asymptomatic individuals). Estimated 4- and 8-year cardiac event rates were 8% and 27%, respectively in patients taking beta-blockers, and 33% and 58% in those not taking beta blockers (log-rank p=0.01). Corresponding statistics for fatal events were 1% and 11% with beta-blockers vs. 18% and 25% without (log-rank p=0.05). Event rates in asymptomatic patients with a positive genotype were similar to other patients. In multivariate models, absence of beta-blockers was an independent predictor of cardiac events (hazard ratio [HR], 5.48; 95% CI, 1.8 to 16.7, p=0.003) and of fatal events (HR, 5.54; 95% CI, 1.2 to 26.1, p=0.03). Of the 37 asymptomatic patients with a positive genotype, 9 (24%) had cardiac events. In patients with CPVT and recurrent sustained VT or syncope, while receiving adequate or maximally tolerated beta blocker, treatment intensification with either combination medication therapy (e.g., beta blocker with flecainide), left cardiac sympathetic denervation, and/or an ICD is recommended. Clinical penetrance ranges from 25 to 100%, with an average of 70 to 80%. Syncope appears to be the first symptom in more than half of the patients. When untreated, mortality from CPVT is high, reaching 30 to 50% by the age of 30 years.

Individuals with pathogenic variants in CALM1, CALM2 or CALM3 can have a severe phenotype, with earlier onset, QT prolongation, and a high predilection for cardiac arrest and sudden death. Beta-blockers lacking intrinsic sympathomimetic activity are recommended as a first-line therapy in all patients with a clinical diagnosis of CPVT, including those with documented spontaneous, stress-induced VAs. Guidelines differ in their recommendations about utilizing beta-blocker therapy in phenotype negative individuals. Treatment with beta blockers is associated with a reduction in adverse cardiac events. However, variability in outcome with beta-blocker therapy is due to multiple factors, including dosing and compliance. In a study of 101 patients with CPVT (22 diagnosed clinically and 79 diagnosed molecularly), 81 were administered beta-blockers (57 symptomatic and 24 asymptomatic individuals). Estimated 4- and 8-year cardiac event rates were 8% and 27%, respectively in patients taking beta-blockers, and 33% and 58% in those not taking beta blockers (log-rank p=0.01). Corresponding statistics for fatal events were 1% and 11% with beta-blockers vs. 18% and 25% without (log-rank p=0.05). Event rates in asymptomatic patients with a positive genotype were similar to other patients. In multivariate models, absence of beta-blockers was an independent predictor of cardiac events (hazard ratio [HR], 5.48; 95% CI, 1.8 to 16.7, p=0.003) and of fatal events (HR, 5.54; 95% CI, 1.2 to 26.1, p=0.03). Of the 37 asymptomatic patients with a positive genotype, 9 (24%) had cardiac events. In patients with CPVT and recurrent sustained VT or syncope, while receiving adequate or maximally tolerated beta blocker, treatment intensification with either combination medication therapy (e.g., beta blocker with flecainide), left cardiac sympathetic denervation, and/or an ICD is recommended. Clinical penetrance ranges from 25 to 100%, with an average of 70 to 80%. Syncope appears to be the first symptom in more than half of the patients. When untreated, mortality from CPVT is high, reaching 30 to 50% by the age of 30 years. Reviewed with paediatric cardiologist: not for inclusion due to issues with penetrance, plus guidelines only generally recommend treatment is symptomatic individuals. |

The disorder is due to a congenital defect in 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (HSD11B2) activity, resulting in decreased conversion of biologically active cortisol to inactive cortisone; this defect allows cortisol to act as a ligand for the mineralocorticoid receptor, resulting in sodium retention and volume expansion. There is a favorable therapeutic response to spironolactone. More than 10 unrelated families reported. Onset is usually in infancy or early childhood.

Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Note mono-allelic variants are associated with adult-onset cancer risk. MMRCS rated as 'strong actionability' in paediatric patients by ClinGen. The hallmark of MMRCS is early onset cancer, most often in childhood or young adulthood. The median age of onset of the first tumor is 7.5 years, with a wide range observed (0.4-39 years). A large portion (up to 40%) of patients develop metachronous second malignancies. The median survival after diagnosis of the primary tumor is less than 30 months. Prognosis depends on the possibility of complete resection, making early detection paramount. It is unclear what tumor spectrum will emerge among adults with MMRCS. Brain tumors are frequent and often diagnosed in the first decade of life. The rate of progression appears to be rapid in the brain tumors. The median age at diagnosis of brain tumors is 9 years (range, 2-40 years). Brain tumors are by far the most common cause of death. Colonic adenomatous oligopolyposis typically is diagnosed between 5 and 10 years of age. The progression of adenomas to malignancy in MMRCS is the most rapid of any inherited colorectal cancer syndrome. Among MMRCS patients presenting with colorectal cancer (CRC), the median age at diagnosis was 16 years (range, 8-48 years) with more than half of patients classified as pediatric-onset CRC. The age of onset of small-bowel adenomas is later; they typically develop in the second decade of life. The median age at diagnosis of small-bowel cancer was 28 years, with a range of 11-42 years. The lifetime risk of gastrointestinal cancer among MMRCS patients is the highest reported of all gastrointestinal cancer predisposition syndromes as a function of age. The median age at diagnosis of hematologic malignancy is 6.6 years. Endometrial cancer has been diagnosed between 19 and 44 years. The age at diagnosis of urinary tract tumors has ranged from 10 to 22 years. The management of MMRCS is based on the current estimates of neoplasia risk and the early age of onset for the cancers, which have led to tentative guidelines for the management of these patients. The age at which to begin surveillance varies by guideline and is represented below as age ranges. In patients with MMRCS, the following surveillance is suggested: •Screening for CRC by colonoscopy is recommended annually beginning at age 6 to 8 years. Once polyps are identified, colonoscopy every 6 months is recommended. •Annual surveillance for small-bowel cancer by upper endoscopy and video capsule endoscopy is suggested beginning at 8 to 10 years of age. Monitoring of hemoglobin levels every 6 months also is suggested, beginning at 8 years of age. •Surveillance for brain tumors by brain MRI every 6 to 12 months is suggested starting at the time of diagnosis even in the first year of life to age 2 years. •Currently, no proven surveillance modalities for leukemia or lymphoma have been identified. Complete blood count to screen for leukemia is suggested every 6 months beginning at 1 year of age. Clinical examinations and abdominal ultrasounds to screen for lymphoma every 6 months may be considered by the treating physician. •For individuals with a uterus, surveillance for endometrial cancer is suggested by transvaginal ultrasound, pelvic examination, and endometrial sampling annually starting at age 20 years. •Surveillance for cancer of the urinary tract is suggested, with annual urinalysis starting at age 10 to 20 years. •To screen for other types of tumors, whole-body MRI could be considered once a year starting at 6 years of age or when anesthesia is not needed.

A multiple registry study examining neoplasm incidence in a cohort containing 102 non-probands with DICER1 pathogenic variants (3,344 person-years of observation in non-probands) found that by age 10 years, 5.3% (95% CI, 0.6% to 9.7%) of non-probands had developed a neoplasm (females, 4.0%; males, 6.6%). By age 50 years, 19.3% (95% CI, 8.4% to 29.0%) of non-probands had developed a neoplasm (females, 26.5%; males, 10.2%). Most individuals with pathogenic variants in DICER1 are healthy or have only minor DICER1-associaited conditions. The most severe manifestations tend to present in early childhood with adulthood characterized by good health. The majority of tumors in individuals with DICER1 pathogenic variants occur in individuals younger than 40. Many of these tumors typically only occur in childhood, including: PPB (before age 7), CN (before age 4), CBME typically occurs in young children, pituitary blastoma (before age 2), and childhood pineoblastoma (only one has been reported associated with a DICER1 mutation). Surveillance recommendations: In order to detect pulmonary cysts or PPB (one of the most important causes of DICER1-associated morbidity and mortality), chest x-rays are recommended every 6 months from birth to through age 7 years and then annually from 8-12 years. A chest computed tomography (CT) (with efforts to minimize radiation) should be obtained by 9 months of age, preferably between 3 and 6 months of age and repeated at approximately 2.5 years of age. Abdominal ultrasound is recommended for the detection in infancy or at the time of the first chest CT then every 6-12 months until at least 8 years of age. Annual ultrasound may be considered until 12 years of age. Beginning at ages 8-10 females should receive pelvic ultrasound performed in conjunction with abdominal ultrasound (every 6-12 months) until at least age 40 or as needed for signs and symptoms. Individuals should undergo thyroid ultrasound with assessment for regional adenopathy every 2 to 3 years starting at age 8 or as needed for signs and symptoms. An annual routine dilated ophthalmologic exam with visual acuity screening is recommended from age 3 to at least age 10 for detection of CBME. Sources: ClinGen |

GA due to deficiency of the enzyme ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) is characterized by a triad of progressive chorioretinal degeneration, early cataract formation, and type II muscle fiber atrophy. GA first presents as night blindness and constriction of the visual field caused by sharply demarcated circular areas of chorioretinal atrophy in the periphery. Atrophic areas progressively increase, coalesce, and spread towards the macula leading to central visual loss and blindness (vision less than 20/200). Age at diagnosis ranges from 1 month to 44 years. The condition is characterized by the development of chorioretinal atrophic patches that start in the mid-peripheral retina in the first decade of life. Myopia, night blindness, changes in the macula (including cystic changes), and visual field affection usually start in the first or second decade. Most patients with GA have posterior subcapsular cataracts by the end of the second decade. Irreversible loss of vision and blindness generally occurs between 40 and 55 years of age but is highly variable. Treatment of GA consists mainly of dietary modifications to help lower elevated systemic ornithine levels. Restriction of dietary arginine, a precursor of ornithine, appears to have therapeutic value. Pediatric patients undergoing arginine restriction should receive enough calories in their diet supplemented by essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to avoid malnutrition and excessive break down of endogenous proteins. A long-term observational study of 27 patients with GA, 17 who complied with the arginine-restricted diet and 10 who were noncompliant, found that at 14 years follow-up the rates of vision loss were significantly slower in the compliant group for 3 of the 4 outcome measures, when adjusted for age.

Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: PRKAR1A: Added comment: Rated as 'strong actionability' in paediatric patients by ClinGen, principally due to benefit from early detection of cardiac myxomas through surveillance. CNC is associated with skin pigmentary abnormalities, myxomas, endocrine tumors or overactivity, and schwannomas. Lentigines are the most common presenting feature of CNC and may be present at birth. Typically, they increase in number at puberty, fade after the fourth decade, but may still be evident in the eighth decade. Cutaneous myxomas appear between birth and the fourth decade. Cardiac myxomas may occur at a young age. Breast myxomas occur in females after puberty. Males and females may develop nipple myxomas at any age. In a minority of individuals, PPNAD presents in the first two to three years; in the majority, it presents in the second or third decade. LCCSCT often present in the first decade. Signs and symptoms of CNC may be present at birth, but the median age of diagnosis is 20 years. Most patients with CNC present with a mild increase in GH. However, clinically evident acromegaly is a relatively frequent manifestation of CNC, occurring in approximately 10% of adults at the time of presentation. Most individuals with CNC have a normal life span. However, because some die at an early age, the average life expectancy for individuals with CNC is 50 years. Causes of death include complications of cardiac myxoma (myxoma emboli, cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmia, and surgical intervention), metastatic or intracranial PMS, thyroid carcinoma, and metastatic pancreatic and testicular tumors. The only preventive measure in an asymptomatic individual is surgical removal of a heart tumor (cardiac myxoma) prior to the development of heart dysfunction, stroke, or other embolism. Cardiac myxomas should be diagnosed early through regular screening. Development of metabolic abnormalities from Cushing syndrome or arthropathy and other complications from acromegaly may be prevented by medical or surgical treatment of the respective endocrine manifestations. The overall penetrance of CNC in those with a PRKAR1A pathogenic variant is greater than 95% by age 50 years. 30-60% have cardiac myxomas.; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed phenotypes: Carney complex, type 1, MIM# 160980 |

The mean age of onset of symptoms (usually a syncopal episode) of CPVT is between age seven and twelve years; onset as late as the fourth decade of life has been reported. Nearly 60% of patients have at least one syncopal episode before age 40. If untreated, CPVT is highly lethal, as approximately 30% of genetically affected individuals experience at least one cardiac arrest and up to 80% one or more syncopal spells. In untreated patients, the 8-year fatal or near-fatal event rates of 25% have been reported. Sudden death may be the first manifestation of the disease. Beta-blockers lacking intrinsic sympathomimetic activity are recommended as a first-line therapy in all patients with a clinical diagnosis of CPVT, including those with documented spontaneous, stress-induced VAs. Guidelines differ in their recommendations about utilizing beta-blocker therapy in phenotype negative individuals. Treatment with beta blockers is associated with a reduction in adverse cardiac events. However, variability in outcome with beta-blocker therapy is due to multiple factors, including dosing and compliance. In a study of 101 patients with CPVT (22 diagnosed clinically and 79 diagnosed molecularly), 81 were administered beta-blockers (57 symptomatic and 24 asymptomatic individuals). Estimated 4- and 8-year cardiac event rates were 8% and 27%, respectively in patients taking beta-blockers, and 33% and 58% in those not taking beta blockers (log-rank p=0.01). Corresponding statistics for fatal events were 1% and 11% with beta-blockers vs. 18% and 25% without (log-rank p=0.05). Event rates in asymptomatic patients with a positive genotype were similar to other patients. In multivariate models, absence of beta-blockers was an independent predictor of cardiac events (hazard ratio [HR], 5.48; 95% CI, 1.8 to 16.7, p=0.003) and of fatal events (HR, 5.54; 95% CI, 1.2 to 26.1, p=0.03). Of the 37 asymptomatic patients with a positive genotype, 9 (24%) had cardiac events. In patients with CPVT and recurrent sustained VT or syncope, while receiving adequate or maximally tolerated beta blocker, treatment intensification with either combination medication therapy (e.g., beta blocker with flecainide), left cardiac sympathetic denervation, and/or an ICD is recommended. Clinical penetrance ranges from 25 to 100%, with an average of 70 to 80%. Syncope appears to be the first symptom in more than half of the patients. When untreated, mortality from CPVT is high, reaching 30 to 50% by the age of 30 years. For review: age of onset and penetrance. Sources: ClinGen |

Mode of inheritance for gene: RPE65 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Phenotypes for gene: RPE65 were set to Leber congenital amaurosis 2 MIM#204100; Retinitis pigmentosa 20 MIM#613794 Review for gene: RPE65 was set to GREEN Added comment: Assessed as 'strong actionability' in paediatric patients by ClinGen. Biallelic RPE65 mutation-associated retinal dystrophy is a form of IRD caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in RPE65; it presents as a spectrum of disease with variable age of onset and progression of vision loss. Common clinical findings across the spectrum include night blindness, progressive loss of visual fields and loss of central vision. In LCA, night blindness often occurs from birth. Characteristically, these patients have residual cone-mediated vision in the first to third decades with progressive visual field loss until complete blindness is observed, most often in mid- to late-adulthood. A range of age of onset has been described for night blindness in RP, but it typically onsets in later childhood. In December 2017, the FDA approved LUXTURNA (voretigene neparvovec-rzyl) gene therapy for the treatment of patients with confirmed biallelic RPE65 mutation-associated retinal dystrophy. The FDA’s conclusion of efficacy is based on improvement in a functional vision score over 1 year in a single open-label controlled Phase 3 study of 31 affected patients. The average age of the 31 randomized patients was 15 years (range 4 to 44 years), including 64% pediatric subjects (n=20, age from 4 to 17 years) and 36% adults (n=11). Functional vision was scored by a patient’s ability to navigate a course in various luminance levels. Using both treated eyes of the 21 subjects in the LUXTURNA treatment group, 11 (52%) had a clinically meaningful score improvement, while only one of the ten (10%) subjects in the control group had a clinically meaningful score improvement. Using the first treated eye only, 15/21 (71%) had a clinically meaningful score improvement, while no comparable score improvement was observed in controls. Other secondary clinical outcomes were also examined. Analysis of white light full-field light sensitivity threshold testing showed statistically significant improvement at 1 year in the LUXTURNA treatment group compared to the control group. The change in visual acuity was not significantly different between the LUXTURNA and control groups. LUXTURNA is administered subretinally by injection. Per the FDA package insert, the most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 5%) in the clinical trials for LUXTURNA included conjunctival hyperemia, cataract, increased intraocular pressure, retinal tear, dellen (thinning of the corneal stroma), and macular hole. Several other ocular adverse effects were also reported, including risk of endophthalmitis. Safety data was included on the basis of 41 patients (81 eyes). For review: availability of therapy?

Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Well established gene-disease association. Variable severity. Treatment: Recombinant coagulation Factor VIIa Non-genetic confirmatory testing: factor VII level; to: Well established gene-disease association. Variable severity. Treatment: Recombinant coagulation Factor VIIa Non-genetic confirmatory testing: factor VII level Rated as 'strong actionability' in paediatric patients by ClinGen. Clinical expression of factor VII deficiency is highly variable, and no consistent relationship has been found between the severity of the hemorrhagic syndrome and the residual levels of FVII activity. Individuals can be completely asymptomatic despite a very low FVII level. A bleeding history appears more predictive of further bleeding than the factor VII level. Factor VII levels increase during pregnancy, but levels usually remain insufficient for hemostasis in severely affected cases. Individuals with no history of bleeding do not appear to be at increased risk of PPH. Heterozygotes often have approximately half-normal levels of coagulation factors and are often asymptomatic. However, up to 2% of patients with severe bleeding phenotype are heterozygotes. Consider prophylaxis using rFVIIa in certain circumstances. Long term prophylaxis should be considered for cases with a personal or family history of severe bleeding or with FVII activity <0.01 IU/ml using rFVIIa, adjusting to maintain clinical response. Short term prophylaxis should be considered for cases for neonates without a personal or family history of severe bleeding but who have FVII activity 0.01-0.05 IU/ml up to 6-12 months of age. |

There doesn’t appear to be cognitive impairment if untreated, but some individuals develop diabetes and/or mild hypomagnesaemia later in adolescence. There does not appear to be any evidence that any treatments in infancy would have an effect on these two late effects. See: PMID: 32456656 So, I think we can take this one off the list. |

Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Well established gene-disease association. Multi-system disorder, onset in infancy. In general, individuals appear normal at birth but have a progressive disease course if untreated. Clinical features typically manifest in the first or second decade of life. Intellectual disability may be the first recognizable sign and may present as developmental delay after the first to second year of life. Myopia typically occurs after age one with the majority of untreated individuals developing ectopia lentis by age 8. Roughly half of patients show signs of osteoporosis by their teens. Cerebrovascular events typically manifest during young adulthood, though they have been reported earlier. Thromboembolism is the major cause of early death and morbidity. Among B₆-responsive individuals, a vascular event in adolescence or adulthood is often the presenting feature. Treatment: vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), methionine-restricted diet, folate, vitamin B12, betaine. Management guidelines PMID 27778219. Non-genetic confirmatory testing: plasma total homocysteine and plasma amino acids Paediatric actionable gene by ClinGen.
