Brain and nerves | 21 | Bilateral tonic-clonic seizure, Moderate intellectual disability, Mild intellectual disability |
KICS2 encodes KICSTOR subunit 2 (445 aa). As part of the KICSTOR complex functions in the amino acid-sensing branch of the TORC1 signaling pathway. Highest expression in Cells EBV-transformed lymphocytes (6.4 TPM) and Skin Sun Exposed Lower leg (4.9 TPM).
Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal recessive 83 is associated with mutations in the KICS2 gene on chromosome 12.
KICS2 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for KICS2 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 13 always present features, 1 very common feature, 20 common features.
