*TELO2* was first reported in relation to autosomal recesssive syndromic intellectual disability and neurodevelopmental disorder in 2016 (You et al., PMID:27132593). *TELO2*-related intellectual disability-neurodevelopmental disorder (You-Hoover-Fong syndrome) is characterized by delayed global development, microcephaly, abnormal balance, and a movement disorder. At least 11 variants (including missense, nonsense, frameshift, exonic deletion) have been reported (PMID: 28944240, 33307281, 32940098). Evidence supporting this gene-disease relationship includes case-level and experimental data. In summary, there is definitive evidence supporting the relationship between *TELO2* and *TELO2*-related intellectual disability-neurodevelopmental disorder. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Intellectual Disability and Autism Gene Curation Expert Panel on June 1, 2022 (SOP Version 9).

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_016111.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Regulator of the DNA damage response (DDR). Part of the TTT complex that is required to stabilize protein levels of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related protein kinase (PIKK) family proteins. The TTT complex is involved in the cellular resistance to DNA damage stresses, like ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet (UV) and mitomycin C (MMC). Together with the TTT complex and HSP90 may participate in the proper folding of newly synthesized PIKKs. Promotes assembly, stabilizes and maintains the activity of mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes, which regulate cell growth and survival in response to nutrient and hormonal signals. May be involved in telomere length regulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12670948, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20810650}.;
Disease
DISEASE: You-Hoover-Fong syndrome (YHFS) [MIM:616954]: A syndrome characterized by severe global developmental delay, intellectual disability, dysmorphic facial features, microcephaly, abnormal movements, congenital heart disease comprising developmental abnormalities of the great vessels, and abnormal auditory and visual function. The transmission pattern is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27132593}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
