Added comment: 31 individuals with autism spectrum disorder (30/31), intellectual disability/developmental delay (100%), motor delay (62%), speech-language problems (100%), seizure/epilepsy (46%), behaviour disorders (ADHD, aggression, anxiety)(74%), and distinctive facial features (narrow face, abnormal or broad forehead, downslanting palpebral fissures, and large or dysplastic ears).

WES/WGS identified 25 LOF and 6 missense variants in MARK2 gene (Microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2) which contributes to establishing neuronal polarity and developing dendritic spines. LOF variants were de novo (16/25), inherited (4/25), or unk (5/25). All 6 missense variants were de novo and clustered in the kinase or KA1 domains.

The mRNA and protein expression of MARK2 in PBMCs were significantly lower in affected individuals with LOF variants than in the control group. In vitro expression assay of missense variants supported the effect of MARK2 loss. Proband-derived and CRISPR-engineered isogenic induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) showed MARK2 loss leads to early neuronal developmental and functional deficits, including anomalous polarity and disorganization in neural rosettes, as well as imbalanced proliferation and differentiation in neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Mark2+/- mice showed abnormal cortical formation and partition and ASD-like behaviour. Through the use of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and lithium treatment, they linked MARK2 loss to downregulation of the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway and identified lithium as a potential drug for treating MARK2-associated ASD.

Although there is no clear cut correlation between Cu and ceruloplasmin levels in ATP7A related disorders, these three entities probably represent a continuum partly depending on residual functional ATP7A protein.

Treatment for Menkes disease: subcutaneous injections of copper histidine or copper chloride

ClinGen has assessed as moderate evidence for actionability.

Neonatal treatment with subcutaneous copper-histidine (initiated before 30 days of life) is recommended for asymptomatic males with a diagnosis of MD, but is not recommended for symptomatic boys or after 30 days of life. Treatment should be continued indefinitely. In an open-label clinical trial, 12 patients with MD treated with copper-histidine within 22 days of life had 92% survival after a mean follow-up of 4.6 years compared to 13% in a historical control group of 15 patients treated after a late diagnosis (mean age at diagnosis: 163 ± 113 days, range: 42 to 390). Two of the 12 patients with earlier treatment had normal neurological development. A second open-label trial of 35 presymptomatic patients receiving copper-histidine at less than a month of age reported significant improvement of four major neurodevelopmental (gross motor, fine motor/adaptive, personal/social, and language) domains and a non-significant lower mortality (28.5% vs 50%) at age of 3 years (or age of death) compared to 22 patients treated later and after onset of symptoms.

Phenotypes for gene: PTPA were set to Intellectual disability, MONDO: 36073231, PTPA-related
Review for gene: PTPA was set to AMBER
Added comment: Biallelic PTPA pathogenic variants lead to a form of ID with later-onset parkinsonism based on 4 individuals from 2 families in the literature. Affected individuals were homozygous for missense variants demonstrated to result to reduced mRNA and protein levels as well as PP2A complex activation. Drosophila studies support an age-dependent locomotor dysfunction. Variants in other PP2A-complex-related genes also lead to NDDs. Summary provided below.

There is currently no associated phenotype in OMIM, G2P, PanelApp UK or SysID.

Consider inclusion in relevant panels (ID, Parkinsonism/movement disorders, etc) with amber rating pending further reports.

------

Fevga, Tesson et al (2022 - PMID: 36073231) describe the features of 4 individuals, from 2 unrelated families, with biallelic pathogenic PTPA variants.

These presented with normal or delayed early milestones, learning disability and ID (mild to moderate) followed by progressive signs of parkinsonism (at the age of 11 yrs in 2 sibs, 15 yrs in another individual). Motor symptoms were responsive to levodopa and later to deep brain stimulation.

Linkage analysis in one consanguineous family followed by exome revealed homozygosity for a missense PTPA variant (NM_178001:c.893T>G/p.Met298Arg). Exome sequencing in affected subjects from the 2nd family revealed homozygosity for a further missense variant (c.512C>A/p.Ala171Asp). There were no other candidate variants for the phenotype following parental / segregation studies.

Role of the gene:
As the authors discuss, PTPA (or PPP2R4) is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues incl. brain and encodes a phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activator of the dimeric form of protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A). PP2A in turn, is the major Ser/Thr phosphatase in brain targeting a large number of proteins involved in diverse functions. Activation of PP2A is dependent on its methylation, which is negatively regulated by the PP2A-specific methylesterase (PME-1). By binding to PME-1, PTPA counteracts the negative influence of the former on PP2A. Pathogenic variants in genes encoding subunits/regulators of the PP2A complex (e.g. PPP2R1A or PPP2CA) are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Variant studies:
Upon overexpression of wt and both variants in a HEK-293 cell line the authors demonstrated that both variants resulted in significantly reduced mRNA and protein levels (which for Ala171Asp were attributed to increased proteasomal degradation). Both variants were shown to result in impaired PP2A complex activation compared to wt.

Drosophila / animal models:
Pan-neuronal RNAi-mediated knockdown of ptpa in Drosophila resulted in an age-dependent locomotor dysfunction, reversible with L-DOPA treatment.
Previous studies in mice suggest cognitive/electrophysiological impairments upon downregulation of PP2A activity in transgenic mice.

Mendeliome v0.13172 SH3BP2 Zornitza Stark commented on gene: SH3BP2: Cherubism is characterized by a loss of bone, restricted to the jaws, and by the replacement of this bone with fibrous tissues, leading to facial swelling. Involvement of the infraorbital rim and the orbital floor leads to the upward tilting of the eyeballs and consequent exposure of the inferior part of the sclerae, giving a 'cherubic' appearance. Submandibular lymph node enlargement is often reported. Functional impairment includes mastication and speech problems, tooth alterations, and loss of normal vision. Onset of the disease is usually between 14 months and 4 years of age. The disease progresses through puberty, then stabilizes, and in some cases regresses without treatment.
Mendeliome v0.12224 SERPINA1 Samantha Ayres changed review comment from: Well established gene-disease relationship

Rated as C by babyseq due to low penetrance in childhood. Can cause hepatic dysfunction in infancy. Identification would prevent further investigation and potentially lead to optimising respiratory health due to adult onset respiratory involvement.; to: Well established gene-disease relationship

Rated as C by babyseq due to low penetrance in childhood. Can cause hepatic dysfunction in infancy. Identification would prevent further investigation and potentially lead to optimising respiratory health due to adult onset respiratory involvement.

MUTATIONAL & CLINICAL SPECTRUM
ZZ genotype: 2% have severe, neonatal/early-onset liver disease (potentially fatal/requiring liver transplantation), up to 6% have childhood onset liver disease. Also associated with adult-onset lung disease particularly emphysema (50%+ penetrance) - smoking is an important risk factor (close to 100% penetrance).

TREATMENT
There is no specific treatment for liver disease beyond transplant. There is treatment (AAT augmentation therapy) available to delay progression of lung disease phenotype.

Onset is in utero or early childhood.

Affected individuals have impaired neuronal bladder and ureteral innervation causing coordination defects that result in secondary structural defects of the renal system, including hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and small kidneys, that may result in chronic kidney disease as well as recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Surgical treatment of VUR is not effective. Most individuals also have additional autonomic features, most commonly impaired pupillary reflex and sometimes orthostatic hypotension.

Patient-derived cells showed no expression of MAPKAPK5 protein isoforms and reduced levels of the MAPKAPK5-interacting protein ERK3. F-actin recovery after latrunculin B treatment was found to be less efficient in patient-derived fibroblasts than in control cells, supporting a role of MAPKAPK5 in F-actin polymerization.

Functional in vitro analysis of the ACSL5 variant by immunofluorescence, western blotting and enzyme assay suggested that Thr453Lys is a loss‐of‐function mutation without any remaining activity. Affected individuals were treated with total parenteral nutrition or medium‐chain triglyceride‐based formula restricted in long‐chain triglycerides. They responded well and follow up suggests that treatment is only required during early life.

In line with the pLoF variants, mRNA studies in fibroblasts from 2 unrelated affected individuals demonstrated significantly reduced (~80-90%) TBC1C2D mRNA levels compared to controls, restored following cycloheximide treatment. Protein was absent in patient fibroblasts. TBC-domain containing GTPase activating proteins are known as key regulators of RAB GTPase activity. TBC1D2B was shown to colocalize with RAB5-positive endocytic vesicles. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ko of TBC1D2B in HeLa cells suggested a role in EGF receptor endocytosis and decreased cell viability of TBC1D2B-deficient HeLa cells upon serum deprivation. Genes encoding other TBC domain-containg GTPase-activating proteins, e.g. TBC1D7 and TBC1D20, TBC1D24 are associated with recessive neurodevelopmental disorders (with ID and/or seizures) and the pathophysiological defect in TBC1D2B-related disorder (deficit in vesicle trafficking and/or cell survival) is proposed to be similar to that of TBC1D24.

Review for gene: MEPCE was set to RED
Added comment: 1 patient with global DD and seizures with de novo MEPCE nonsense variant. mRNA and protein analyses identified nonsense-mediated mRNA decay to underlie the decreased amount of MEPCE in patient fibroblasts followed by LARP7 and 7SK snRNA downregulation and HEXIM1 upregulation. Flavopiridol treatment and ectopic MEPCE protein expression in patient fibroblasts rescued increased expression of six RNAP II-sensitive genes and suggested a possible repressive effect of MEPCE on P-TEFb-dependent transcription of specific genes.
