BabyScreen+ newborn screening
Gene: JUP Amber List (moderate evidence)I don't know
Discussed potentially just screening for bi-allelic disease as can be earlier onset, more severe.
Discussed further with a paediatric cardiologist: variable age of onset and penetrance, therefore does not meet criteria.Created: 1 Feb 2023, 7:13 a.m. | Last Modified: 29 Mar 2023, 1:24 a.m.

Rated as 'strong actionability' in paediatric patients by ClinGen together with other ARVC genes.
ARVC is a progressive heart disease characterized by degeneration of cardiac myocytes and their subsequent replacement by fat and fibrous tissue primarily in the right ventricle, though the left ventricle may also be affected. It is associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young individuals and athletes. The VA is usually in proportion to the degree of ventricular remodeling and dysfunction, and electrical instability. The mechanism of SCD is cardiac arrest due to sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF).
Age of onset is highly variable with a mean age of diagnosis of 31 years and a range of 4 to 64 years.
Antiarrhythmic drugs and beta-blockers are not recommended in healthy gene carriers. In patients with ARVC and ventricular arrhythmia (VA), a beta-blocker or other antiarrhythmic is recommended.
Recommendations for ICD placement in patients with ARVC differ across guidelines, both in terms of the indications for placement and whether recommendations are based on evidence or expert opinion. Recommendations based on non-randomized studies support ICD placement in patients with ARVC and an additional marker of increased risk of SCD (resuscitated SCA, sustained VT hemodynamically tolerated, and significant ventricular dysfunction with RVEF or LVEF ≤35%) and in patients with ARVC and syncope presumed to be due to VA if meaningful survival greater than 1 year is expected. The presence of a combination of other risk factors (e.g., male sex, frequent PVCs, syncope) may also be used to indicate implantation.
Serial screening for the emergence of cardiomyopathy is recommended for clinically unaffected individuals who carry a variant associated with ARVC, including:
• Medical history, with special attention to heart failure symptoms, arrhythmias, presyncope or syncope, and thromboembolism
• Physical examination with special attention to cardiac and neuromuscular systems and examination of the integumentary system if ARVC is suspected
• Electrocardiography
• Cardiovascular imaging.
Penetrance:
In a study of 264 probands with genetic variants associated with ARVC who presented alive, 73% had sustained VA, 13% had symptomatic HF, and 5% had cardiac death (2% SCD, 2% HF, and 1% HF with VA) during median 8-year follow-up. Among 385 family members of the probands who also carried an ARVC variant, 32% met clinical criteria for ARVC, 11% experienced sustained VA, and 2% died during follow-up (1% from SCD, 0.5% from HF, and 0.5% non-cardiac issues). In a second study of 220 probands with genetic variants associated with ARVC who presented alive, 54% presented with sustained VT. In 321 family members of the probands who also carried an ARVC variant, 14% were symptomatic at presentation but 8% experienced VA during a mean 4-year follow-up. For all 541 cases, 60% met clinical criteria for ARVC, 30% had sustained VA, 14% developed ventricular dysfunction, 5% experienced HF, 4% had a resuscitated SCD/VF, and 2% died over a mean follow-up of 6 years.Created: 29 Dec 2022, 10:22 p.m. | Last Modified: 29 Dec 2022, 10:22 p.m.

If promoting or demoting a gene, please provide comments to justify a decision to move it.
Genes included in a Genomics England gene panel for a rare disease category (green list) should fit the criteria A-E outlined below.
These guidelines were developed as a combination of the ClinGen DEFINITIVE evidence for a causal role of the gene in the disease(a), and the Developmental Disorder Genotype-Phenotype (DDG2P) CONFIRMED DD Gene evidence level(b) (please see the original references provided below for full details). These help provide a guideline for expert reviewers when assessing whether a gene should be on the green or the red list of a panel.
A. There are plausible disease-causing mutations(i) within, affecting or encompassing an interpretable functional region(ii) of this gene identified in multiple (>3) unrelated cases/families with the phenotype(iii).
OR
B. There are plausible disease-causing mutations(i) within, affecting or encompassing cis-regulatory elements convincingly affecting the expression of a single gene identified in multiple (>3) unrelated cases/families with the phenotype(iii).
OR
C. As definitions A or B but in 2 or 3 unrelated cases/families with the phenotype, with the addition of convincing bioinformatic or functional evidence of causation e.g. known inborn error of metabolism with mutation in orthologous gene which is known to have the relevant deficient enzymatic activity in other species; existence of an animal model which recapitulates the human phenotype.
AND
D. Evidence indicates that disease-causing mutations follow a Mendelian pattern of causation appropriate for reporting in a diagnostic setting(iv).
AND
E. No convincing evidence exists or has emerged that contradicts the role of the gene in the specified phenotype.
(i)Plausible disease-causing mutations: Recurrent de novo mutations convincingly affecting gene function. Rare, fully-penetrant mutations - relevant genotype never, or very rarely, seen in controls. (ii) Interpretable functional region: ORF in protein coding genes miRNA stem or loop. (iii) Phenotype: the rare disease category, as described in the eligibility statement. (iv) Intermediate penetrance genes should not be included.
It’s assumed that loss-of-function variants in this gene can cause the disease/phenotype unless an exception to this rule is known. We would like to collect information regarding exceptions. An example exception is the PCSK9 gene, where loss-of-function variants are not relevant for a hypercholesterolemia phenotype as they are associated with increased LDL-cholesterol uptake via LDLR (PMID: 25911073).
If a curated set of known-pathogenic variants is available for this gene-phenotype, please contact us at panelapp@genomicsengland.co.uk
We classify loss-of-function variants as those with the following Sequence Ontology (SO) terms:

Standardised terms were used to represent the gene-disease mode of inheritance, and were mapped to commonly used terms from the different sources. Below each of the terms is described, along with the equivalent commonly-used terms.
A variant on one allele of this gene can cause the disease, and imprinting has not been implicated.
A variant on the paternally-inherited allele of this gene can cause the disease, if the alternate allele is imprinted (function muted).
A variant on the maternally-inherited allele of this gene can cause the disease, if the alternate allele is imprinted (function muted).
A variant on one allele of this gene can cause the disease. This is the default used for autosomal dominant mode of inheritance where no knowledge of the imprinting status of the gene required to cause the disease is known. Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: autosomal dominant, dominant, AD, DOMINANT.
A variant on both alleles of this gene is required to cause the disease. Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: autosomal recessive, recessive, AR, RECESSIVE.
The disease can be caused by a variant on one or both alleles of this gene. Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant, recessive or dominant, AR/AD, AD/AR, DOMINANT/RECESSIVE, RECESSIVE/DOMINANT.
A variant on one allele of this gene can cause the disease, however a variant on both alleles of this gene can result in a more severe form of the disease/phenotype.
A variant in this gene can cause the disease in males as they have one X-chromosome allele, whereas a variant on both X-chromosome alleles is required to cause the disease in females. Mapped to the following commonly used term from different sources: X-linked recessive.
A variant in this gene can cause the disease in males as they have one X-chromosome allele. A variant on one allele of this gene may also cause the disease in females, though the disease/phenotype may be less severe and may have a later-onset than is seen in males. X-linked inactivation and mosaicism in different tissues complicate whether a female presents with the disease, and can change over their lifetime. This term is the default setting used for X-linked genes, where it is not known definitately whether females require a variant on each allele of this gene in order to be affected. Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: X-linked dominant, x-linked, X-LINKED, X-linked.
The gene is in the mitochondrial genome and variants within this can cause this disease, maternally inherited. Mapped to the following commonly used term from different sources: Mitochondrial.
Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: Unknown, NA, information not provided.
