IEMbase phenotype signal

IEMbase represents autosomal recessive SLC45A1-related neuronal glucose transporter deficiency, also labeled intellectual developmental disorder with neuropsychiatric features.

Clinical rows include intellectual disability, behavioral disorder, anxiety, autism, seizures, dysmorphic features, stereotyped hand movements, broad nasal bridge, maxillary prognathism, open mouth, thick eyebrows, and thick lips. Biochemical rows report normal CSF glucose and normal plasma glucose.

DisMech phenotype coverage

SLC45A1-Related_Neuronal_Glucose_Transporter_Deficiency.yaml is an exact local target. It models biallelic SLC45A1 deficiency as a neuronal glucose transporter disorder with intellectual disability, epilepsy/focal seizures, neuropsychiatric features including anxiety and autistic behaviors, mild facial dysmorphism, and developmental delay.

The local entry also explicitly distinguishes SLC45A1 disease from GLUT1/SLC2A1 deficiency by noting that reduced CSF glucose has not been reported in published SLC45A1 cases. That aligns with the IEMbase normal CSF and plasma glucose rows.

The generated SLC35A2-CDG.yaml candidate is a glycosylation false positive.

Concordance and completeness

Judgement: false negative from stale generated mapping; current DisMech has an exact high-concordance SLC45A1 target.

IEMbase provides useful dysmorphology granularity and a normal-glucose caveat that strengthens the local distinction from SLC2A1/GLUT1 deficiency. DisMech is stronger for mechanism and differential framing.

Curation actions

  • Resolve this record to SLC45A1-Related_Neuronal_Glucose_Transporter_Deficiency.yaml.
  • Reject SLC35A2-CDG.yaml as exact coverage.
  • Preserve normal CSF glucose and normal plasma glucose as distinguishing rows.
  • Review whether broad nasal bridge, maxillary prognathism, open mouth, thick eyebrows/lips, and stereotyped hand movements should be added explicitly.
