P220: The ClinGen Variant Curation Interface (VCI) to support direct submission and tracking of submissions to ClinVar
Conclusion: Knowing there is linkage disequilibrium between the SLC12A3 and HYDIN pathogenic founder variants that could result in concurrent GD and PCD in individuals of Old Order Amish ancestry, guides clinicians to evaluate for both conditions simultaneously when either condition is suspected.This allows clinicians to optimize their assessments and resources to identify two conditions expeditiously and implement high quality care and disease management for the affected individual.This knowledge helps reduce the incidence of a missed diagnosis and has the potential to improve outcomes.The observed lack of independent segregation between these alleles could be due to historical recombination events within the Amish population during westward migration in the US.Given the rarity of both conditions, we recommend testing for both variants in cases of clinical suspicion, especially within the Amish population.This study highlights the need for population-specific clinical guidelines to promote inclusive healthcare.
