METHODS: A scoping review was carried out using the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework. The search strategy was developed iteratively, with three main aspects: general practice/primary care contexts, risk assessment/decision support tools, and workload-related factors. Three databases were searched in 2019, and updated in 2021, covering articles published since 2009: Medline (Ovid), HMIC (Ovid) and Web of Science (TR). Double screening was completed by two reviewers, and data extracted from included articles were analysed.

RESULTS: The search resulted in 5,594 references, leading to 95 full articles, referring to 87 studies, after screening. Of these, 36 studies were based in the USA, 21 in the UK and 11 in Australia. A further 18 originated from Canada or Europe, with the remaining studies conducted in New Zealand, South Africa and Malaysia. Studies examined the use of eCDS tools and reported some findings related to their impact on workload, including on consultation duration. Most studies were qualitative and exploratory in nature, reporting health professionals' subjective perceptions of consultation duration as opposed to objectively-measured time spent using tools or consultation durations. Other workload-related findings included impacts on cognitive workload, "workflow" and dialogue with patients, and clinicians' experience of "alert fatigue".

METHODS: Sixty individuals with molecularly confirmed RNU4ATAC-opathy were recruited from multiple clinical and research centers internationally. RNA-seq was available for 7 affected individuals.

RESULTS: We report the clinical and molecular findings of 60 individuals, including 42 not previously described, and 33 distinct RNU4ATAC variants, 13 of which are novel. Core features in this cohort-present in most individuals assessed and varying in severity-include microcephaly, short stature, skeletal anomalies, developmental delay, cerebral anomalies, skin conditions, and immune deficiency. Additional findings, such as diabetes, holoprosencephaly, and the absence of various core features in some individuals, highlight the broad phenotypic spectrum. All individuals who underwent RNA-seq showed a consistent pattern of minor intron retention. In 6 individuals, RNA-seq enabled the reclassification of variants of uncertain significance as likely pathogenic. Although RNU4ATAC variants are generally covered by clinical exomes, they are often overlooked in analysis because of their noncoding nature.
