Spectrum of Phenotypes Associated with SETBP1 Pathogenic Variants

DesignationAssociated Pathogenic VariantsComment
Schinzel-Giedion syndrome (SGS) phenotypic continuum (topic of this GeneReview) Classic SGS Gain-of-function pathogenic variants in mutational hot spot (i.e., a 12-base-pair region in exon 4 encoding a canonical degron)Severe phenotype consistent w/original SGS clinical diagnostic criteria 1
Atypical SGS Gain-of-function pathogenic variants adjacent to – but not within –mutational hot spot
  • Broad spectrum of clinical features of variable severity that partially overlap w/classic SGS
  • Atypical SGS is milder than classic SGS.
SETBP1-related disorders (not SGS or SETBP1-HD) Missense pathogenic variants w/unknown functional effects that are not adjacent to mutational hot spot
  • "SETBP1-related disorders" may be used to refer to phenotypes that are not consistent w/SGS or SETBP1-HD caused by SETBP1 pathogenic variants that do not result in loss of function and are not within or near the SGS mutational hot spot.
  • Note: "SETBP1-related disorders" has also been used to refer to all phenotypes associated w/SETBP1 pathogenic variants.
SETBP1 Haploinsufficiency Disorder (SETBP1-HD) Loss-of-function pathogenic variants (truncating variants / SETBP1-specific deletions)See Genetically Related Disorders.
