Predicted protein structure

Clinical relevance (Genomics England PanelApp)

Diagnostic Grade (Green)

  • DDG2P

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
  • Ehlers Danlos syndrome with a likely monogenic cause

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, monoallelic mutations in females may cause disease (may be less severe, later onset than males)
  • Fetal anomalies

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
  • Skeletal dysplasia

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
  • Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, monoallelic mutations in females may cause disease (may be less severe, later onset than males)
  • Thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection (GMS)

    X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, monoallelic mutations in females may cause disease (may be less severe, later onset than males)
