Kristin Rigbye (Victorian Clinical Genetics Services)

Green List (high evidence)

4x homozygous families reported (3 PTCs, 1 missense) all predicted to be likely pathogenic.
The observed phenotype greatly resembled that linked to SMG9 and comprised severe global developmental delay, microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, and variable congenital heart and eye malformations.

"RNA-seq analysis revealed a general increase in mRNA expression levels with significant overrepresentation of core NMD substrates. We also identified increased phosphorylation of UPF1, a key SMG1-dependent step in NMD, which most likely represents the loss of SMG8–mediated inhibition of SMG1 kinase activity. Our data show that SMG8 and SMG9
deficiency results in overlapping developmental disorders that most likely converge mechanistically on impaired NMD."
