Phenotypes for gene: RHEB were set to Intellectual disability; Macrocephaly; Focal cortical dysplasia
Review for gene: RHEB was set to GREEN
Added comment: No new publications since last PanelApp review. Reviewed PMID: 29051493 supplementary information - three individuals with short stature and macrocephaly. Limited antenatal information provided/birth HC parameters, but one of the affected individuals was noted to have a large head circumference from 20 weeks gestation. PMID 31337748: Somatic variant in this gene found in one individual with focal cortical dysplasia.

3 individuals from two families with heterozygous RHEB variants. Two siblings carried the c.110 C > T (p.Pro37Leu) variant, and a sporadic individual carried the c.202 T>C (p.Ser68Pro) allele. All 3 individuals had short stature (−2 to −3 SD) and early brain overgrowth with pronounced macrocephaly during childhood (+2.5/+3 SD). They had severe to profound ID with hypotonia, as well as autism spectrum disorder. 2 of 3 individuals were reported to have epilepsy. In a zebrafish model, overexpression of RHEB produced megalencephaly, supporting a hyperactivating effect. This is supported in mice where loss of RHEB activity does not cause an overt neurological phenotype
Single individual with somatic variants in this gene and focal cortical dysplasia also reported.
