Mendeliome v1.3487 SSPO Zornitza Stark Marked gene: SSPO as ready
Mendeliome v1.3487 SSPO Zornitza Stark Gene: sspo has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Mendeliome v1.3487 SSPO Zornitza Stark Classified gene: SSPO as Green List (high evidence)
Mendeliome v1.3487 SSPO Zornitza Stark Gene: sspo has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Mendeliome v1.3486 SSPO Sarah Milton changed review comment from: The HGNC approved symbol for this gene is SSPOP which refers to SCO-spondin pseudogene. Recently, it has been demonstrated this gene produces a functional protein; subcommissural organ-spondin, which plays a role in neural development and function. Given the previous pseudogene status most annotation will include n. as opposed to c. numbers (including in gnomAD v4).

PMID: 41077560 describes 4 individuals from 3 families with biallelic variants in SSPOP with a neurodevelopmental disorder. Phenotype is encompassed by epilepsy (onset <2 years old), developmental delay, autism and behavioural issues.
Variant types include missense, frameshift and splice site.

No homozygous nonsense/frameshift variants in gnomad v4. (some hom splice site).

Supportive functional studies including zebrafish knockout with epileptiform activity. Mouse knockout demonstrated reduced reissner’s fibre formation/smaller brain ventricles/spinal curvature anomalies.

It was noted by authors another publication PMID: 32028786 discussed 2 related individuals - a grandmother and grandchild with homozygous frameshift variants in SSPOP (exact variant not provided) who both were just documented to have cervical cleft, no mention of ID/epilepsy.
