ACO2 clinicobiological dataset with extensive phenotype ontology annotation.

ABSTRACT: Pathogenic variants of the aconitase 2 gene (ACO2) are responsible for a broad clinical spectrum involving optic nerve degeneration, ranging from isolated optic neuropathy with recessive or dominant inheritance, to complex neurodegenerative syndromes with recessive transmission. We created the first public locus-specific database (LSDB) dedicated to ACO2 within the "Global Variome shared LOVD" using exclusively the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO), a standard vocabulary for describing phenotypic abnormalities. All the variants and clinical cases listed in the literature were incorporated into the database, from which we produced a dataset. We followed a rational and comprehensive approach based on the HPO thesaurus, demonstrating that ACO2 patients should not be classified separately between
