BabyScreen+ newborn screening v0.2132 PRKG1 Zornitza Stark Classified gene: PRKG1 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
BabyScreen+ newborn screening v0.2132 PRKG1 Zornitza Stark Gene: prkg1 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
BabyScreen+ newborn screening v0.2131 PRKG1 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Assessed as 'strong actionability' in paediatric patients by ClinGen.

FTAAD is a rare genetic vascular disease characterized by the familial occurrence of thoracic aortic aneurysm, dissection, or dilatation affecting one or more aortic segments (aortic root, ascending aorta, arch, or descending aorta).

Variable age of clinical presentation.

Prophylactic surgical repair of the aorta is recommended at 4.5-5.0 cm for patients with pathogenic variants in MYH11, SMAD3, and ACTA2 and at 4.0-4.5 cm for patients with pathogenic variants in TGFBR1 or TGFBR2.

Beta adrenergic-blocking agents are recommended to reduce aortic dilation. Losartan was added as an alternative to beta adrenergic-blocking agents in FTAAD after studies showed its efficacy in children and young adults with MFS who were randomly assigned to losartan or atenolol.

Penetrance: A study of 31 individuals with PRKG1 pathogenic variants indicated that 63% presented with an aortic dissection and 37% had aortic root enlargement. The cumulative risk of an aortic dissection or repair of an aortic aneurysm by age 55 has been estimated as 86% (95% CI: 70-95%).

Discussed with a paediatric cardiologist: variable penetrance and age of onset, does not fulfil criteria for gNBS.
