Fetal anomalies v0.3032 LAMB2 Zornitza Stark Marked gene: LAMB2 as ready
Fetal anomalies v0.3032 LAMB2 Zornitza Stark Gene: lamb2 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Fetal anomalies v0.3032 LAMB2 Zornitza Stark Classified gene: LAMB2 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Fetal anomalies v0.3032 LAMB2 Zornitza Stark Gene: lamb2 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Fetal anomalies v0.2892 LAMB2 Krithika Murali gene: LAMB2 was added
gene: LAMB2 was added to Fetal anomalies. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: LAMB2 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: LAMB2 were set to 16450351
Phenotypes for gene: LAMB2 were set to Pierson syndrome-MIM#609049; Nephrotic syndrome, type 5, with or without ocular abnormalities-MIM#614199
Review for gene: LAMB2 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Biallelic variants associated with Pierson syndrome. Phenotypic features include congenital nephrotic syndrome, ocular anomalies including microcoria. Most affected individuals die early from renal disease with survivors tending to have ID/visual loss.

Prenatal features reported in 1 consanguineous Turkish family with 4 pregnancies affected by Pierson syndrome. Antenatal ultrasound features noted include:
- 2/4 homogenous hyperechogenicity of the kidneys similar to bone tissue
- 2/4 enlargement of fetal kidneys
- 2/4 bilateral pyelectasis
- 1/4 oligohydramnios --> anhydramnios
- 1/4 hydrops
- 1/4 ancencephaly

All 4 fetuses had ultrasound anomalies. Anencephaly seen in the 4th pregnancy noted at 11 weeks resulting in MTOP. Homozygosity for LAMB2 variant confirmed. PM showed that kidneys were appropriate for gestational age. I could not find another case report of anencephaly with Pierson syndrome, this may be an incidental finding.
