Disease

Name
Holoprosencephaly-5
Inheritance
Autosomal dominant
Description
Holoprosencephaly associated with mutations in the ZIC2 gene1 .
Prevalence
1.4 1,000,000
0.05-0.23/100,000; math done by 40% of pathogenic variants in ZIC2 are expansion2 ; 5% of non-syndromic HPE are ZIC2 gene2 , and nonsyndromic HPE is 25-50% of HPE, which affects 1/10,000 newborns3 - ZIC2 is 9.2% of HPE cases, which occur in 1/16,000 live births4 . Holoprosencephaly has worldwide distribution5 , but STR-specific distribution is unknown.

Details
The benign allele of 15 repeats expands to 25 repeats to cause disease6 , although the expansion can potentially present with a mild phenotype7
Mechanism
LoF
