Mendeliome v1.2293 HECTD1 Chirag Patel gene: HECTD1 was added
gene: HECTD1 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: HECTD1 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: HECTD1 were set to PMID: 39879987
Phenotypes for gene: HECTD1 were set to Neurodevelopmental disorder MONDO:0700092
Review for gene: HECTD1 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 14 unrelated individuals (identified through GeneMatcher) with 15 variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in HECTD1 (10 missense, 3 frameshift, 1 nonsense, and 1 splicing variant). Of the 15 different variants in HECTD1, 10 occurred de novo, 3 had unknown inheritance, and 2 were compound heterozygous. All variants were absent in gnomAD, and HECTD1 is highly intolerant to loss-of-function variation (loss-of-function-intolerant score of 1). Clinical presentation was variable developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and epilepsy.

The one individual with compound heterozygous variants had growth impairment along with NDD. The variants were inherited from apparently healthy parents, suggesting that genetic or environmental modifiers may be required to develop the phenotype. Significant enrichment of de novo variants in HECTD1 was also shown in an independent cohort of 53,305 published trios with NDDs or congenital heart disease.

HECT-domain-containing protein 1 (HECTD1) mediates developmental pathways, including cell signalling, gene expression, and embryogenesis. Conditional knockout of Hectd1 in the neural lineage in mice resulted in microcephaly, severe hippocampal malformations, and complete agenesis of the corpus callosum, supporting a role for Hectd1 in embryonic brain development. Functional studies of 2 missense variants and 1 nonsense variant in C. elegans revealed dominant effects, including either change-of-function or loss-of-function/haploinsufficient mechanisms.

Added comment: Fournier et al. described one patient with DiGeorge syndrome with a unique susceptibility to EBV with broad EBV infection and smooth muscle tumors. He was found to have a homozygous missense variant (p.V140G) in TNFSF9 coding for CD137L/4-1BBL, the ligand of the T cell co-stimulatory molecule CD137/4-1BB, whose deficiency predisposes to EBV infection.

They show that CD137LV140G mutant was weakly expressed on patient cells or when ectopically expressed in HEK and P815 cells. Importantly, patient EBV-infected B cells failed to trigger the expansion of EBV-specific T cells, resulting in decreased T cell effector responses. T cell expansion was recovered when CD137L expression was restored on B cells.

Mendeliome v1.2089 IRAK2 Chirag Patel changed review comment from: 2 individuals with sequential or repeated invasive infections with 2 different variants in IRAK2 gene found on WES testing. The IRAK kinases function as downstream signal transductors following the activation of pathogen recognition receptors. IRAK4 gene has been associated with susceptibility to severe infections by common pyogenic bacteria.

Individual 1 had herpes simplex virus-triggered hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis with tuberculosis, and a homozygous missense variant (L78P). There are no homozygous individuals in gnomAD (MAF 0.003%). No segregation testing reported.

Individual 2 had Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteremia with candidemia, and a heterozygous missense variant (R506W) which straddles between the kinase and TRAF6-binding CTD of IRAK2. There are 15 heterozygous individuals in gnomAD for this rare variant with no homozygotes (MAF 0.012%). No segregation testing reported.

Both patients’ peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed tendencies for TNFα hypo-responsiveness to representative bacterial, fungal and viral ligands, in line with subjects with IRAK defects. Immunoprecipitation platform assay to pull down TRAF6 revealed that possession of L78P or R506W variants led to reduced TRAF6 ubiquitination. The led to TRAF6 accumulation and in turn decreased TNFα production (an inflammatory cytokine to invading pathogens).

Paper does not comment on reasons for disease in biallelic and mono-allelic form.

Preprint paper:
2 individuals with immune dysregulation (1 x systemic lupus erythematosus and 1 x autoinflammatory disease) with same homozgyous exon 2 deletion in IRAK2 gene found on WES testing and confirmed with Sanger sequencing. Unaffected family members in trio were heterozygous for variant. Exon 2 encodes a proportion of the death domain, a critical protein domain for Myddosome assembly.

The patients exhibited aberrantly upregulated type I interferon (IFN) response following LPS stimulation, which was further confirmed in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) in mice. RNA sequencing analysis indicated that PBMCs from the two patients consistently exhibited defects in activating NFkb signaling in response to LPS or R848 stimulation, as well as impaired activation of the MAPK signaling pathway. RNA sequencing demonstrated that BMDMs from Irak2 ∆ex2/∆ex2 mice exhibited defects in NFkb and MAPK signaling pathways, similar to patients’ PBMCs.

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.

Phenotypes for gene: LINC01578 were set to Neurodevelopmental disorder, MONDO:0700092, CHASERR-related
Review for gene: LINC01578 was set to GREEN
Added comment: CHASERR encodes a human long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) adjacent to CHD2, a coding gene in which de novo loss-of-function variants cause developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. Three unrelated children reported with a syndromic, early-onset neurodevelopmental disorder, each of whom had a de novo deletion in the CHASERR locus. The children had severe encephalopathy, shared facial dysmorphisms, cortical atrophy, and cerebral hypomyelination - a phenotype that is distinct from the phenotypes of patients with CHD2 haploinsufficiency. CHASERR deletion results in increased CHD2 protein abundance in patient-derived cell lines and increased expression of the CHD2 transcript in cis, indicating bidirectional dosage sensitivity in human disease.

Added comment: 4 consanguineous families (out of 279 families) with intrahepatic cholestasis:
-1 patient died at 10mths with cholestasis/liver impairment and kidney impairment
-3 cousins with cholestasis (2 with liver failure needing transplant) and kidney features (2 with kidney failure, 1 with renal echogenicity)
-2 siblings with hepatic fibrosis (1 with unilateral renal agenesis)
-2 siblings with unexplained liver cirrhosis (1 needing transplant) but normal kidney function

WES identified 3 different homozygous variants in PSKH1 (Arg121Trp, Ile126Val, Arg183Cys). Patient fibroblasts displayed abnormal cilia that are long and show abnormal transport. A homozygous Pskh1 mutant mouse faithfully recapitulated the human phenotype and displayed abnormally long cilia. The phenotype could be rationalized by the loss of catalytic activity observed for each recombinant PSKH1 variant using in vitro kinase assays. Human PSKH1 is a poorly understood gene that may play important role in intracellular trafficking, is sensitive to intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and is localized to centrosomes, suggesting a link to cystogenesis.

Publications for gene: RFC4 were set to PMID: 39106866
Phenotypes for gene: RFC4 were set to RFC4-related multisystem disorder
Review for gene: RFC4 was set to GREEN
gene: RFC4 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: 9 affected individuals (aged birth to 47yrs) from 8 unrelated families with a multisystem disorder. Clinical features included: muscle weakness/myopathy (9/9), motor incoordination/gait disturbance (8/8), delayed gross motor development (6/9), dysarthria (5/5), peripheral neuropathy (3/3 adults), bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment (6/9), decreased body weight (8/9), short stature (5/9), microcephaly (4/9), respiratory issues/insufficiency (6/9), cerebellar atrophy (4/9), pituitary hypoplasia (3/9).

WES or WGS identified biallelic loss-of-function variants in RFC4 (3 frameshift, 2 splice site, 1 single AA duplication, 2 single AA deletions, 2 missense), and almost all are likely to disrupt the C-terminal domain indispensable for Replication factor C (RFC) complex formation. All variants segregated with the disease.

The RFC complex (with 5 subunits) is central to process of regulation of DNA replication, and it loads proliferating cell nuclear antigen onto DNA to facilitate the recruitment of replication and repair proteins and enhance DNA polymerase processivity. RFC1 is associated with CANVAS but the contributions of RFC2-5 subunits on human Mendelian disorders is unknown.

Analysis of a previously determined cryo-EM structure of RFC bound to proliferating cell nuclear antigen suggested that the variants disrupt interactions within RFC4 and/or destabilize the RFC complex. Cellular studies using RFC4-deficient HeLa cells and primary fibroblasts demonstrated decreased RFC4 protein, compromised stability of the other RFC complex subunits, and perturbed RFC complex formation. Additionally, functional studies of the RFC4 variants affirmed diminished RFC complex formation, and cell cycle studies suggested perturbation of DNA replication and cell cycle progression.

Added comment: 8 affected individuals with corneal dystrophy from 1 family (3 generations). Affected individuals had diffuse central stromal opacity, with reduced visual acuity in older family members. Histopathology of affected cornea tissue revealed mild stromal textural alterations with alcianophilic deposits.

WGS from 4 affected individuals in family identified a novel heterozygous missense variant in exon 4 of SPARCL1 (c.334G > A; p.(Glu112Lys)) which segregated with disease.

SPARC-like protein 1 (SPARCL1) is a secreted matricellular protein involved in cell migration, cell adhesion, tissue repair, and remodelling. SPARCL1 has been shown to regulate decorin. Heterozygous variants in DCN, encoding decorin, cause autosomal dominant congenital stromal corneal dystrophy, suggesting a common pathogenic pathway.

Mendeliome v1.1980 PNPLA8 Chirag Patel edited their review of gene: PNPLA8: Added comment: Cohort analysis of clinical features of new and previously reported individuals with biallelic PNPLA8 variants (25 affected individuals across 20 families). They showed that PNPLA8-related neurological diseases manifest as a continuum ranging from variable developmental and/or degenerative epileptic-dyskinetic encephalopathy to childhood-onset neurodegeneration. Complete loss of PNPLA8 was associated with the more profound end of the spectrum.

Using cerebral organoids generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells, they found that loss of PNPLA8 led to developmental defects by reducing the number of basal radial glial cells and upper-layer neurons. Neural progenitor cells lacking PNPLA8 showed a reduced amount of lysophosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidic acid. They show that PNPLA8 is crucial to meet phospholipid synthetic needs and to produce abundant basal radial glial cells in human brain development.; Set current diagnostic: yes

De novo germline SF3B1 variants, proposed spliceosomopathy/NDD gene

SF3B1 is an RNA binding protein that stabilizes the U2 snRNP complex at branchpoint sequences
Somatic SF3B1 missense commonly occur in haematological malignancy (K700E recurrent)

25 patients with syndromic NDD + de novo heterozygous rare SF3B1 variants identified on WES, genematcher
13 missense (incl recurrent xxx and xxx) within HEAT domain
5 nonsense
4 splicing
1 frameshift

Patients w missense variants may have more severe phenotype incl mircocepahly, palate anomalies, cerebral anomalies, GI/cardiac anomalies

Cellular models of missense variants: erythroleukaemia K562, HEK293T
Suggest missense variants do not cause loss of function, but increase exon skipping and alternative 3’ splice site use

Added comment: PMID 38816421 Werren et al 2024 report 8 individuals from 6 families identified through exome sequencing and subsequent gene-sharing efforts with biallelic missense CSMD1 variants. Shared phenotypic features included: GDD, ID, microcephaly and polymicrogyria. Other features included dysmorphism, IUGR, hypotonia, arthrogryposis, seizures, opthalmological anomalies and other brain white matter anomalies Heterozygous parents were unaffected.

Loss of function is the postulated mechanism based on experimental data involving early-stage forebrain organoids differentiated from CSMD1 knockout human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).

Mendeliome v1.1906 KCNJ10 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: KCNJ10: Added comment: PMID 38979912: 11 individuals from 8 unrelated families reported with variants in this gene and paroxysmal dyskinesia. Notably one was the parent of a child with recessive SeSAME syndrome (established gene-disease association). Patch-clamp recordings in HEK293T cells revealed apparent reductions in K+ currents of the patient-derived variants, indicating a loss-of-function. In Drosophila, milder hyperexcitability phenotypes were observed in heterozygous Irk2 knock-in flies compared to homozygotes, supporting haploinsufficiency as the mechanism for the detected heterozygous variants. Electrophysiological recordings showed that excitatory neurons in Irk2 haploinsufficiency flies exhibited increased excitability, and glia-specific complementation with human Kir4.1 rescued the Irk2 mutant phenotypes.; Changed publications: 19289823, 19420365, 21849804, 11466414, 38979912; Changed phenotypes: SESAME syndrome, MIM# 612780, Paroxysmal dyskinesia, MONDO:0015427, KCNJ10-related; Changed mode of inheritance: BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal

Added comment: PMID: 38767059
5 individuals from 3 unrelated families reported with with biallelic loss of function variants in FAM177A1. Clinical features included: global developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures, behavioural abnormalities, hypotonia, gait disturbance, and macrocephaly.

They showed that FAM177A1 localizes to the Golgi complex in mammalian and zebrafish cells. Intersection of the RNA-seq and metabolomic datasets from FAM177A1-deficient human fibroblasts and whole zebrafish larvae demonstrated dysregulation of pathways associated with apoptosis, inflammation, and negative regulation of cell proliferation.

PMID: 25558065
A study of 143 multiplex consanguineous families identified a homozygous frameshift variant in FAM177A1 in 1 family with 4 affected siblings with intellectual disability, dolicocephaly, obesity, and macrocephaly. The variant segregated with all 4 affected siblings and parents were confirmed heterozygous carriers.

Mendeliome v1.1797 GABRA4 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: GABRA4: Added comment: Three more novel de novo missense variants in GABRA4 (NM_000809.4): c.797 C > T, p.(Pro266Leu), c.899 C > A, p.(Thr300Asn), and c.634 G > A, p.(Val212Ile) reported.

The p.(Thr300Asn) variant impacts the same codon as the previously reported variant p.(Thr300Ile) and likely arose post-zygotically as evidenced by sequencing oral mucosal cells.

Overlapping phenotypes among affected individuals included developmental delay (4/4), epileptiform EEG abnormalities (3/4), attention deficits (3/4), seizures (2/4), autistic features (2/4) and structural brain abnormalities (2/4).; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed publications: 35152403, 38565639; Changed phenotypes: Neurodevelopmental disorder MONDO:0700092, GABRA4-related

Shoichet et al. (2003) described a female patient with severe nonsyndromic mental retardation and a de novo balanced translocation t(X;7)(p11.3;q11.21) in whom they cloned the DNA fragment that contained the X chromosomal and the autosomal breakpoint. In silico sequence analysis demonstrated that the ZNF41 gene was disrupted. Expression studies indicated that ZNF41 transcripts were absent in the patient cell line, suggesting that the mental disorder in this patient resulted from loss of functional ZNF41. Screening of patients with mental retardation led to the identification of 2 other ZNF41 mutations that were not found in healthy control individuals. Based on their finding of the mutations in ZNF41 identified by Shoichet et al. (2003) in a total of 7 males in the NHLBI Exome Variant Server, and the additional finding of truncating ZNF41 variants in 1 male and 1 female in that database, Piton et al. (2013) classified the involvement of ZNF41 in mental retardation as highly questionable.

Added comment: 1 case with generalised lipodystrophy, growth retardation, congenital cataracts, severe developmental delay and progeriod features. Trio WGS identified compound heterozygous variants in SUPT7L (missense causing abnormal splicing + frameshift). Variants validated with Sanger. SUPT7L encodes a component of the core structural module of the STAGA complex - a nuclear multifunctional protein complex that plays a role in various cellular processes (e.g. transcription factor binding, protein acetylation, splicing, and DNA damage control). Immunolabelling in fibroblasts from patient showed complete absence of SUPT7L protein. Transcriptome data from individual revealed downregulation of several gene sets associated with DNA replication, DNA repair, cell cycle, and transcription.

Added comment: 8 individuals from 6 families with core features of amelogenesis imperfecta and sensorineural hearing loss. Intellectual disability, ocular disease, ear developmental abnormalities and lymphoedema were also present in multiple cases. WES and WGS identified biallelic pathogenic variants in PLXNB2 (missense, nonsense, splice and a multiexon deletion variants). Variants segregated with disease.

PLXNB2 is a large transmembrane semaphorin receptor protein, and semaphorin-plexin signalling controls cellular interactions that are critical during development as well as in adult life stages. Plxnb2 expression was detected in differentiating ameloblasts in mice. Human phenotype overlaps with that seen in Plxnb2 knockout mice.

Added comment: 4 children from 2 unrelated families with Seckel-like syndrome - severe primary microcephaly, short stature, developmental delay, intellectual disability, facial deformities, and abnormalities of fingers and toes. WES identified biallelic pathogenic variants in CEP295 gene (p(Q544∗) and p(R1520∗); p(R55Efs∗49) and p(P562L)).

Patient-derived fibroblasts and CEP295-depleted U2OS and RPE1 cells were used to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Depletion of CEP295 resulted in a decrease in the numbers of centrioles and centrosomes and triggered p53-dependent G1 cell cycle arrest. Loss of CEP295 caused extensive primary ciliary defects in both patient-derived fibroblasts and RPE1 cells. The results from complementary experiments revealed that the wild-type CEP295, but not the mutant protein, can correct the developmental defects of the centrosome/centriole and cilia in the patient-derived skin fibroblasts.

This gene has no NMD region, R49* would affect 82% of the protein. Paper is not using the MANE select transcript, alt p. in MANE select is R18* which affects 92% of the MANE select protein

Interestingly R49* is created by a delins/2 missense in cis, 1 common R49Q and 1 rare R49W, some UNaffected family members just have the common missense without the other in cis.

Immunofluorescence studies in patient platelets showed a 50% reduction of APOLD1 and disrupted cytoskeletal and junctional organization.

Added comment: One novel TUBA4A variant in two unrelated Chinese patients with sporadic congenital myopathy.

Identified candidate genes using laser capture micro dissection, proteomics, WES, clinical data, myopathological changes, electrophysiological exams and thigh muscle MRIs.

The variant is de novo in both patients, c.679C>T, p.(Leu227Phe). The prominent myopathological changes in both patients were muscle fibres with focal myofibrillar disorganisation and rimmed vacuoles. Immunofluorescence showed ubiqution-positive TUBA4A protein aggregates in the muscle fibres with rimmed vacuoles. Overexpression of Leu227Phe resulted in cytoplasmic aggregates which colocalised with ubiquitin in cellular model.

Patient 1 is 14yo and had delayed motor development milestones since infancy. Myopathic face, high-arched palate, waddling gait, winged scapula and muscle weakness in four limbs with lower extremities and proximal muscle more severely affected. Follow up at 14yo showed slight improvement in motor function compared with 3yo.

Patient 2 is 6yo and presented with motor retardation since birth. At 3yo, presented with mild ptosis and ophthalmoparesis, high-arched palate and muscle weakness involving both proximal and distal in all limbs.

No likely pathogenic variants in 116 other protein-encoding genes. Variants confirmed by Sanger sequencing and absent from gnomAD. ACMG predicts likely pathogenic classification.

- In one family, chet missense p.His638Tyr and p.Asn1917Ser segregated with microcephaly, short stature, limb-extremity dysplasia, and reduced testicular size in two affected siblings. Both sibs also fulfilled dx for mosaic variegated aneuploidy (MVA) syndrome and have tetraploidy.
- A lower but substantial proportion of MVA/tetraploidy cells was observed in II-1, II-2, and II-4 (who are het for one of the variants).

- In the same family, each variants in heterozygous state segregated with infertility and/or reduced testicular size in the proband’s father and maternal uncle.
- Variant screening of CEP192 coding regions performed for 1264 unrelated males with idiopathic infertility.
- Asn1917Ser was also detected in three additional unrelated infertile males with reduced testicular volumes.
- Two other missense and two synonymous variants were repeatedly detected in infertile males.

- qPCR showed CEP192 expression was decreased in individuals with c.1912C>T His638Tyr, mini-gene assay showed that c.1912C>T His638Tyr led to the skipping of exon 14, predicted to result in NMD.
- Epithelial cells cultured in vitro from patients with biallelic variants showed the number of cells arrested during the prophase increased because of the failure of spindle formation.

- Embyronic mouse lethality in Cep192-/- (hom for His638Tyr), Cep192M/M (hom for Asn1917Ser) and Cep192-/M (chet).
- Embryos of Cep192M/M mice had significant increase of MVA and tetraploidy cells.
- Number of apoptotic cells increased in Cep192M/M embryos compared with that of Cep192+/+, similar result in Cep192-/- embryos.
- Male mice with Cep192 heterozygous variants replicated infertility

Conclusions:
- Association of this gene with autosomal recessive disease has not been established.
- Association of monoallelic variants in this gene with infertility is not well established:
- Two variants with some supportive evidence from mouse model.

SEL1L protein is involved in the SEL1L-HRD1 endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation.

Report two biallelic missense variants in SEL1L in six children from three independent families presenting with developmental delay, intellectual disability, microcephaly, facial dysmorphisms, hypotonia and/or ataxia (termed ERAD-associated neurodevelopment disorder with onset in infancy (ENDI). The variants were hypomorphic and impaired ERAD function.

Identified by WES. Parents heterozygous and asymptomatic. P.(Gly585Asp) in Patient 1, p.(Met528Arg) in Patients 2 and 3 (siblings).

All variants cause substrate accumulation. The extent of substrate accumulation in knockin cells was modest compared to those in knockout cells, pointing to a hypomorphic nature.

They also had a variant in HRD1.



Weis paper PMID: 37943617

Third variant p.(Cys141Tyr), biallelic, causing premature death in five patients from a consanguineous family with early-onset neurodevelopmental disorders and agammaglobulinaemia due to severe SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD dysfunction.

This variant appears to have a more severe outcome, exhibiting B cell depletion and agammaglobulinaemia, causing the most severe dysfunction among all of the variants described by this group so far. They postulate that functionality of SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD is inversely correlated with disease severity in humans.

Their symptoms were dev delay, neurological disorder and agammaglobulinaemia in childhood. Along with severe axial hypotonia, short stature and microcephaly.

Added comment: CFAP20 is a ciliopathy candidate. Demonstrate in zebrafish that cfap20 is required for motile cilia function, and in C. elegans, CFAP-20 maintains the structural integrity of non-motile cilia inner junctions, influencing sensory-dependent signalling and development.

Human patients and zebrafish with CFAP20 mutations both exhibit retinal dystrophy (retinitis pigments). Hence, CFAP20 functions within a structural./functional hub centred on the inner junction that is shared between motile and non-motile cilia, and is distinct from other ciliopathy-associaetd domains or macromolecular complexes.

Describe 8 individuals from 4 independent families with damaging biallelic variants (homozygous or compound heterozygous) in CFAP20 that segregate with retinal dystrophy. All variants cluster to one side of the protein, with two of the residues directly contacting alpha-tubullin.

Family 1 - consanguineous set of 3 siblings from Sudan, homozygous for CFAP20 c.305G>A; p.Arg102His (they also had a homozygous variant in DYNC1LI2 however CFAP20 was considered the better candidate.
Family 2 - 3 siblings from Spain, 2 with retinal dystrophy, 1 genetically tested and has c.337C>T; p.(Arg113Trp) and c.397delC; p.(Gln133Serfs*5)
Family 3 - single affected family member compound het for c.164+1G>A and c.457A>G; p.(Arg153Gly).
Family 4 - 3 affected siblings with generalised retinopathy and variable neurological deficits with c.164+1G>A and c.257G>A; p.(Tyr86Cys)

For all families, no individuals had signs of polycystic kidney disease; however, not all individuals had kidney imaging. Visual defecit phenotype presented between adolescence and adulthood (17-56 years old).

Used HEK293T cell expression studies to demonstrate a statistically significant decline of mutated CFAP20 protein levels (with the exception of p.Arg102His). To test the specific variants, they used the C.elegans orthologues.

Mendeliome v1.1103 PSMC3 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: PSMC3: Added comment: PMID:37256937 - 23 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorder was identified with 15 different de novo missense variants. Apart from one child (patient 2), all others had developmental delay characterised by speech delay (19/19) alone or with intellectual disability (16/18) and motor delay (15/19). In addition, structural modeling as well as proteomic and transcriptomic analyses of T cells derived from patients with PSMC3 variants implicated the PSMC3 variants in proteasome dysfunction through disruption of substrate translocation, induction of proteotoxic stress, and alterations in proteins controlling developmental and innate immune program.; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed publications: 32500975, 37256937; Changed phenotypes: neurodevelopmental disorder, MONDO:0700092, PSMC3-related, Deafness, cataract, impaired intellectual development, and polyneuropathy, MIM#619354; Changed mode of inheritance: BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal

Cohort of patients with an MRI based diagnosis of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC). Missense variant in AQP4 seen homozygous in 2 siblings and het in the parents. Patients had macrocephaly, developmental delay, hypotonia, epilepsy, and cognitive deficit.

Western blots on generated MDCK cell lines showed no detectable expression of AQP4 protein from the cells with the patients variant. Immunofluorescence also showed no membrane expression. Overexpression studies in HEK293T cells showed WT was seen as mainly monomers or dimers where as variant protein formed large aggregates- likely due to the saturation of protein degradation pathways because of the overexpression.

Added comment: PMID: 37143309
Cohort of 5 patients with an MRI based diagnosis of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC). 3 unrelated patients had variants in GPRC5B, 2 have the same inframe dup Ile175dup and the third has an in frame dup of Ala177. All 3 were de novo and unaffected siblings did not have the variants. All patients have macrocephaly, delayed motor development, seizures, all had varying degrees of cognitive deficits. 2 also had spasticity, ataxia and dystonia. MRI showed MLC, abnormal and swollen cerebral white matter.

Patient cell lines showed reduced regulatory volume decrease, and western blot showed a strong increase in GRPC5B levels in patient lymphoblasts. Together, these findings indicate disturbed volume regulation in lymphoblasts from patients with GPRC5B variants, potentially due to increased GPRC5B levels. Transfected cells caused increased volume-regulated anion channel activity.

Added comment: 2 families with 4 affected individuals with Oral-facial-digital (OFD) phenotype. Homozygosity mapping and WES found 2 homozygous variants in INTS13 gene. This is a subunit of the Integrator complex, which associates with RNA Polymerase II and cleaves nascent RNA to modulate gene expression. Variants segregated with disease. Depletion of INTS13 disrupts ciliogenesis in human cultured cells and causes dysregulation of a broad collection of ciliary genes. Knockdown in Xenopus embryos leads to motile cilia anomalies.

All with primary brain calcification - 4/10 childhood onset (DD, ID), 6/10 adult onset (cerebellar and pyramidal dysfunction, dystonia, parkinsonism, cognitive impairment, psychiatric manifestations).

NAA60 catalyses N-terminal acetylation of transmembrane proteins and localises to Golgi apparatus. In vitro assay of variants showed reduced capacity of Nt acetylation. Fibroblast studies showed significantly reduced levels of phosphate importer (SLC20A2). Loss of function variants in SLC20A2 (~50% of PFBC cases) lead to increased extracellular phosphate (which is thought to lead to calcium deposits in brain).

- Patients with biallelic missense show a MORE severe spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, syndactyly, brachydactyly/clinodactyly/camptodactyly
- Patients with biallelic null/whole gene deletion had mild ID and digit anomalies including brachydactyly/clinodactyly/camptodactyly
- Patient chet for a missense and PTC variant has a blended phenotype with short stature, syndactyly, brachydactyly/clinodactyly/camptodactyly, mild ID and failure to thrive

- Missense variants were functionally shown to not be able to rescue 5.8S rRNA processing in KO HeLa cells
- K/O mice had neonatal lethality with growth defects, brachydactyly. Skeletal-specific K/O had mild platyspondyly, had more in keeping with patients with null variants than missense

More severe phenotype hypothesised due to "exonuclease-dead proteins may compete for the target RNA molecules with other exonucleases that have functional redundancy
with ERI1, staying bound to those RNA molecules"

Added comment: PMID: 34779126: 3 x females with infertility with biallelic MOS variants identified. Using oocyte-specific Erk1/2 knockout mice, they verified that MOS-ERK signal pathway inactivation in oocytes caused early embryonic arrest and fragmentation.

PMID: 34997960: 2 x females with biallelic MOS variants. Functional studies showed a reduction of protein for two of these variants (missense and frameshift). Functional studies also showed these variants reduced the ability of MOS to phosphorylate its downstream target, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2.

PMID: 35670744 1 x additional family (twins) with infertility and abnormal oocyte morphology with large first polar body. Functional studies showed the MOS variants could not activate MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 in oocytes and HEK293 cells. In addition, functional studies also showed when compared with wild-type MOS, the MOS variants decreased the MOS protein level and attenuated the binding capacity with MEK1.

PMID: 36403623 1 x female with primary infertility, patient’s oocytes had a large polar body and poor embryonic development, hom missense variant in MOS identified.

Added comment: 2 patients from reportedly unrelated consanguineous Moroccan families with the same homozygous frameshift variant reported with late-onset retinal degeneration. Patient 1 was diagnosed with RP at age 60, patient 2 at age 69. Both reported loss of visual acuity in the years prior.

Immunoblotting of cell lysates from patient fibroblasts showed that some mutant transcript escaped NMD. Functional testing showed that the truncated protein could bind microtubules but was unable to associate with centrioles or its interaction partner CEP290. Patient fibroblasts were shown to have delayed ciliation.

Mutant protein was unable to rescue loss of cilia in CEP162 knockdown mice supporting that the mutant protein does not retain any ciliary function, however additional data supported that the truncated protein was able to bind microtubules and function normally during neuroretinal development. The authors suggest this likely underlies the late-onset RP in both patients.

Rated Amber because only a single variant has been reported in patients who may or may not be related (same ethnic background).

Added comment: PMID:36440963 reported a family presenting with skin and mucosal lesions, extensive lipomatosis and renal cell carcinomas. The proband was initially diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD, MIM #135150) based on the presence of fibrofolliculomas, but no pathogenic germline variant was detected in FLCN, the gene associated with BHD. A heterozygous missense variant (p.Cys677Tyr) was identified, which co-segregated with the phenotype in the family.

Functional studies show that Cys677Tyr loses affinity for a regulatory binding motif in the FLCN promoter, abrogating cellular FLCN mRNA and protein levels. Overexpressing inducible PRDM10Cys677Tyr in renal epithelial cells altered the transcription of multiple genes, showing overlap but also differences with the effects of knocking out FLCN.

This gene has not yet been associated with phenotypes either in OMIM or in Gene2Phenotype.

Added comment: Two unrelated cases with monoallelic variants in DPYSL2/ CRMP2, supported by functional studies. However, the evidence is not sufficient for green rating as there are variants reported in other (but different) genes in the two patients.

PMID:35861646 reported two cases identified with heterozygous variants (patient1: c.1693C>T (p.Arg565Cys); patient 2: c.42C>A (p.Ser14Arg). These patients had overlapping phenotypes including dysmorphic features, severe global developmental delay and hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. In addition, patient 2 was bed-ridden and could not roll out and had a history of myoclonic seizures and status epilepticus.

It should be noted that patient 1 is compound heterozygous for 2 missense variants in the EFCAB5 gene and was hemizygous for a maternally inherited missense variant in the GPKOW gene and patient 2 had 1 de novo missense variant in the COBLL1 gene and was compound heterozygous for 2 missense variants in the POTEF gene. The severity of the phenotypes between the two cases differs significantly and the additional variants may have possibly contributed to this phenotype.

Brain-specific Crmp2 knockout mice display neuronal development deficits and behavioural impairments associated with hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. In addition, functional studies performed in zebrafish and cell lines that the CRMP2 variants lead to the loss-of-function of CRMP2 protein and can cause intellectual disability.

PMID:25233840 reported a 6.5 year old female patient with a homozygous missense variant c.1273G > A (p.Gly425Arg) and her clinical presentation included intractable seizures, developmental delay, microcephaly, dysostosis, osteopenia, craniofacial dysmorphism, macrocytosis and megaloblastoid erythropoiesis.

PMID:29784638 reported three siblings with homozygous variant c.289G>C (p.Gly97Arg) in RBSN. The proband presented global developmental delay, had complete 46,XY male-to-female sex reversal and died at age 20 months after multiple infections. The other 2 affected siblings underwent unrelated-donor bone marrow or stem cell transplantation at 8 and 6.5 months of age, respectively. Both have severe intellectual disability and are nonambulatory and nonverbal.

PMID:35652444 reported two unrelated families (three siblings from a family of Iranian descent identified with homozygous variant c.547G>A (p.Gly183Arg) and four members from a family of indigenous Cree descent identified with homozygous variant c.538C>G (p.Arg180Gly)) with overlapping phenotypes including developmental delay, intellectual disability, distal motor axonal neuropathy and facial dysmorphism.

PMID: 34971397 Sharoor et al 2022 report 2 siblings with hyperinsulinism, hypoglycemia and hyperammonemia from early infancy with homozygous SLC25A36 c.284 + 3 A > T variant identified through WES. Functional studies support LoF.

PMID: 34576089 report a 12-year-old patient with hypothyroidism, hyperinsulinism, hyperammonemia, chronical obstipation, short stature, along with language and general developmental delay. WES identified SLC25A36 gene homozygous c.803dupT, p.Ser269llefs*35 variant. Functional analysis of mutant SLC25A36 protein in proteoliposomes showed a virtually abolished transport activity. Immunoblotting results suggest that the mutant SLC25A36 protein in the patient undergoes fast degradation. Supplementation with uridine lead to some improvement in clinical course.

Review for gene: ELOC was set to RED
Added comment: Comment on gene classification: This gene should be rated red as there is only one case with germline variant found so far.

A female patient was identified with a germline de novo missense variant in ELOC gene (c.236A>G/ p.Tyr79Cys) and satisfied the clinical diagnostic criteria for von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. The patient had left retinal haemangioblastomas, renal cell carcinomas, cyst of the right kidney, spinal haemangioblastoma, a haemangioblastoma at the cervicomedullary junction and Henoch-Schonlein purpura (PMID:35323939).

This is the only germline variant detected in ELOC gene and was associated with VHL so far. However, ~20 somatic ELOC variants have been reported to be associated with renal cell carcinomas so far.

This gene has not yet been associated with relevant phenotypes in OMIM or Gene2Phenotype.

Review for gene: WNT11 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Comment on gene classification: The rating of this gene can be added as green as this gene has been implicated in early-onset osteoporosis from three unrelated cases and was supported by evidence from functional studies. All three patients harboured heterozygous variants in WNT11 gene.

Three unrelated cases are reported in PMID: 34875064. A four year-old boy harbouring de novo heterozygous loss-of-function variant c.677_678dupGG (p.Leu227Glyfs*22) was reported with low BMD, osteopenia and several fractures.

A 51 year-old woman and her 69 year-old mother were identified with a heterozygous missense variant c.217G>A (p.Ala73Thr). The woman was reported with bone fragility, several fractures, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, while her mother also had several osteoporotic fractures.

A 61 year-old woman that was reported with lumbar spine osteoarthritis had several fractures since 55 years of age was identified with a heterozygous missense variant c.865G>A (p.Val289Met).

This was also supported by results from functional studies, where cell lines with the loss-of-function variant generated by CRISPR-Cas9 showed reduced cell proliferation and osteoblast differentiation in comparison to wild-type. The expression of genes in the Wnt canonical and non-canonical pathways was inhibited in these mutant cells.

This gene has not yet been reported with any phenotypes either in OMIM or in G2P.

Added comment: PMID 26854926: male 8 year old proband investigated for abdominal pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, and thyroid dysfunction (raised T4, normal T3, raised reverse T3) suggestive of impaired deiodinase activity in combination with low plasma selenium levels. Homozygosity mapping led to identification of a a single nucleotide change, C65G, in TRU-TCA1-1, a tRNA in the selenocysteine incorporation pathway. This mutation resulted in reduction in expression of stress-related selenoproteins. A methylribosylation defect at uridine 34 of mutant tRNA observed in patient cells was restored by cellular complementation with normal tRNA.

PMID 34956927: a 10 year old originally investigated for Hashimoto's disease was found to be homozygous for the same C65G variant identified in the previous paper, inherited from the father in what was concluded to be paternal isodisomy.

Added comment: Exome sequencing of 2,548 people with severe obesity and 1,117 control individuals without obesity identified 13 rare variants in the gene encoding 5-HT2CR (HTR2C) in 19 unrelated people (3 males and 16 females). Eleven variants caused a loss of function in HEK293 cells. All people who carried variants had hyperphagia and some degree of maladaptive behavior. Obesity was severe, childhood-onset. Knock-in male mice harboring a human loss-of-function HTR2C variant developed obesity and reduced social exploratory behavior; female mice heterozygous for the same variant showed similar deficits with reduced severity.

Review for gene: CCDC84 was set to AMBER
Added comment: PMID: 34009673- patients with constitutional mosaic aneuploidy were found to have biallelic mutations in CENATAC(CCDC84). 2 adult siblings with mosaic aneuploidies, microcephaly, dev delay, and maculopathy. Both chet for a missense and a splice site deletion- but the paper days these both result in the creation of a novel splice site that leads to frameshifts and loss of the c-terminal 64 amino acids.

Gene is shown to be part of a spliceosome. CENATAC depletion or expression of disease mutants resulted in retention of introns in ~100 genes enriched for nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle regulation, and caused chromosome segregation errors.

Functional analysis in CENATAC-depleted HeLa cells demonstrated chromosome congression defects and subsequent mitotic arrest, which could be fully rescued by wildtype but not mutant CENATAC. Expression of the MVA-associated mutants exacerbated the phenotype, suggesting that the mutant proteins dominantly repress the function of any residual wildtype protein.

Added comment: Missense alleles altering p.Arg1034, a highly evolutionarily conserved amino acid, in 3 unrelated and ethnically diverse families affected by congenital glaucoma.

Thbs1R1034C-mutant mice had elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), reduced ocular fluid outflow, and retinal ganglion cell loss. Histology revealed an abundant, abnormal extracellular accumulation of THBS1 with abnormal morphology of juxtacanalicular trabecular meshwork (TM), an ocular tissue critical for aqueous fluid outflow. Functional characterization showed that the THBS1 missense alleles found in affected individuals destabilized the THBS1 C-terminus, causing protein misfolding and extracellular aggregation. Analysis using a range of amino acid substitutions at position R1034 showed that the extent of aggregation was correlated with the change in protein-folding free energy caused by variations in amino acid structure.

Missense variant NM_012471.2:c.523C>T, p.(Arg175Cys in three brothers with intellectual disability (ID) and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), inherited from an asymptomatic mother and absent in the maternal grandparents.
Whole cell patch clamp studies of HEK293 created by site-directed mutagenesis showed increased current of this calcium channel (constitutively opened).
(This variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1).

Also, the nonsense variant, c.965G> A, p.(Trp322*) was found in a high functioning ASD male (maternally inherited), NMD-predicted.

Other papers and TRPC5 variants that were cited to associate this gene with X-linked ID and/or ASD include:
PMID: 24817631; Mignon-Ravix, C. et al. (2014) Am. J.Med. Genet. A 164A: 1991–1997: A hemizygous 47-kb deletion in Xq23 including exon 1 of the TRPC5 gene. He had macrocephaly, delayed psychomotor development, speech delay, behavioural problems, and autistic features. Maternally inherited, and a family history compatible with X-linked inheritance (i.e., maternal great uncle was also affected, although not tested).

In addition, PMID: 36323681; Leitão E. et al. (2022) cites papers with the variants p.(Pro667Thr), p.(Arg71Gln) and p.(Trp225*).
NB. p.(Pro667Thr) is absent in gnomAD (v2.1.1), p.(Arg71Gln) is also absent (the alternative variant p.(Arg71Trp) is present once as heterozygous only). p.(Trp225*) is absent, and it should be noted that PTCs / LoF variants are very rare (pLI = 1).

However, looking further into the three references, the evidence is not as clear or as accurate as was stated.

The missense variant c.1999C>A, p.(Pro667Thr), was stated as de novo, but was actually maternally inherited but was still considered a candidate for severe intellectual disability (shown in the Appendix, Patient 93, with severe speech delay, autism spectrum disorder and Gilles de la Tourette). This patient also has a de novo MTF1 variant. Reference: PMID: 23033978; de Ligt, J. et al. (2012) N. Engl. J. Med. 367: 1921–1929).

Missense variant (de novo): c.212G>A, p.(Arg71Gln), was found as part of the Deciphering Developmental Disorders (DDD) study and is shown in individual 164 in Supplementary Table 2 of PMID: 33504798; Martin, HC. et al. (2021) Nat. Commun.12: 627. Also displayed in DECIPHER (DDD research variant) with several phenotype traits, but ID and ASD are not specifically mentioned.

Nonsense variant: c.674G>A. p.(Trp225*) was stated as de novo but was inherited (reference PMID: 28191890; Kosmicki, JA. et al. (2017) Nat. Genet. 49: 504–510. Supplement Table 7). This was a study of severe intellectual delay, developmental delay / autism. (NB. The de novo p.(Arg71Gln) variant from the DDD study is also listed (subject DDD 342 in Supplement 4 / Table 2).

Added comment: Six variants in GABRA3 encoding the alpha3-subunit of the GABA(A) receptor.
Five missense variants and one micro duplication were detected in four families and two sporadic cases presenting with a range of epileptic seizure types, a varying degree of intellectual disability and developmental delay, sometimes with dysmorphic features or nystagmus.
The variants co-segregated mostly but not completely with the phenotype in the families, indicating in some cases incomplete penetrance, involvement of other genes, or presence of phenocopies.
Overall, males were more severely affected and there were three asymptomatic female mutation carriers compared to only one male without a clinical phenotype.
Mechanism suggested - three detected missense variants are localised in the extracellular GABA-binding NH2-terminus, one in the M2-M3 linker and one in the M4 transmembrane segment of the alpha3-subunit. Functional studies in Xenopus leaves oocytes revealed a variable but significant reduction of GABA-evoked anion currents for all mutants compared to wild-type receptors. The degree of current reduction correlated partially with the phenotype.
Results reveal that rare loss-of-function variants in GABRA3 increase the risk for a varying combination of epilepsy, intellectual disability/developmental delay and dysmorphic features, presenting in some pedigrees with an X-linked inheritance pattern.

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.

Phenotypes for gene: TYMS were set to Dyskeratosis congenita MONDO:0015780
Review for gene: TYMS was set to RED
Added comment: 8 families with dyskeratosis congenita and heterozygous variants in TYMS. 4 PTCs, 2 missense and 1 splice (2 families had the same frameshift). However in all families 1 unaffected parent was also heterozygous for the same TYSM variant.

The other parent in 3 of these families was then shown to carry a heterozygous variant in ENOSF1 which each affected child was also heterozygous for. ENOSF1 has been shown to modify TYMS expression at the RNA level by acting as an antisense molecule to TYMS. ENOSF1 partially overlaps TYMS on chromosome 18 and is transcribed in the opposite direction to TYMS. This paper is suggesting digenic inheritance.

The TYMS wild type parent from another family was seen to have a TYMSOS variant which was also observed along with the TYMS variant in their 2 affected children.

Immunoblotting showed a stark reduction in TYMS protein level in the cells of affected probands when compared to the parent carrier, wild-type parent, and the controls.

Lymphoblastoid cells from affected probands have severe TYMS deficiency, altered cellular deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate pools, and hypersensitivity to the TYMS-specific inhibitor 5-fluorouracil. These defects in the nucleotide metabolism pathway resulted in genotoxic stress, defective transcription, and abnormal telomere maintenance. Gene-rescue studies in cells from affected probands revealed that post-transcriptional epistatic silencing of TYMS is occurring via elevated ENOSF1.

Added comment: Moreno Traspas et al 2022 reported 14 children from ten unrelated families with syndromic form of pediatric liver cirrhosis. Genome/exome sequencing analysis reveled biallelic variants in the FOCAD gene. Most of the mutations were nonsense, frameshift, or splice site alterations, predicted to result in a loss of function, but there were also 3 missense variants at highly conserved residues. Western blot analysis of dermal fibroblasts derived from 2 patients showed near absent FOCAD expression in cellular extracts. There were also decreased levels of the SKIC2 protein, suggesting that FOCAD may contribute to the stability of RNA helicase (OMIM: 619991).

Mendeliome v1.173 PMM2 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: PMM2: Added comment: Association with HIPKD:
Cabezas et al (2017) reported co-occurrence of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia and polycystic kidney disease (HIPKD in 17 children from 11 unrelated families. Patients presented with hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia in infancy and enlarged kidneys with multiple kidney cysts. Some progressed to ESKD and some had liver cysts. Whole-genome linkage analysis in 5 informative families identified a single significant locus on chromosome 16p13.2. Sequencing of the coding regions of all linked genes failed to identify biallelic mutations. Instead, they found in all patients a promoter mutation (c.-167G>T) in PMM2, either homozygous or in trans with PMM2 coding mutations. They found deglycosylation in cultured pancreatic β cells altered insulin secretion. In vitro, the PMM2 promoter mutation associated with decreased transcriptional activity in patient kidney cells and impaired binding of the transcription factor ZNF143. In silico analysis suggested an important role of ZNF143 for the formation of a chromatin loop including PMM2. They proposed that the PMM2 promoter mutation alters tissue-specific chromatin loop formation, with consequent organ-specific deficiency of PMM2 leading to the restricted phenotype of HIPKD. None of the patients exhibited the typical clinical or diagnostic features of CDG1A.

Added comment: 2 unrelated patients with ID, microcephaly, short stature, dysmorphic features reported with biallelic variants:

P1 (3yo male): homozygous start-loss variant (2 hets and 0 hom in gnomAD). Functional testing showed a small amount of full-length protein was translated, and BUB1 recruitment to kinetochores was nearly undetectable.
P2 (16yo female): compound heterozygous for a canonical splice variant (1 het and no hom in gnomAD) and an NMD-predicted frameshift variant (absent from gnomAD). The splice variant was shown to result in an in-frame deletion of 54 amino acids in the kinase domain. P2 cells have reduced protein levels but essentially no kinase activity.

BUB1 patient cells have impaired mitotic fidelity.

Homozygous Bub1 disruption in mice is embryonic lethal (PMID:19772675). A hypomorphic mouse is viable with increased tumourigenesis with ageing and aneuploidy (PMID:19117986). A kinase-dead mouse does not show increased tumourigenesis but does have a high frequency of aneuploid cells (PMID:23209306)

- K/O mice show autophagy, redox regulation, and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)–containing lipids and die prematurely from microangiopathic glomerulosclerosis with immunodeficiency.
- 2 unrelated families (3 patients) w/ a homozygous missense (p.Gly153Val) and nonsense (p.Trp86*). All unaffected siblings were heterozygous.
Patient 1 (missense) presented with Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, Cranial MRI showed bilateral effusions, sulcal hyperintensity, and lateral parietal subcortical acute focal ischemic lesions.
Patient 2 (nonsense) presented with recurrent purulent otitis media and a chronic wet cough, persistent jaundice, recurrent chest and ear infections, lingular consolidation, mild bronchiectasis, bibasilar bronchial wall thickening, right peribronchial consolidation, right lower lobe bronchiectasis, bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly.
Patient 3 (nonsense) presented with suffered headaches, abdomen pain, mouth ulcers, and recurrent infections

- Functional studies show patient 1 (missense) with reduced protein expression on western blot, and patient 2/3 (nonsense) with no protein expression. T cells of Pt 1 were similar to mouse K/O model (elevated basal LC3-II, reduced autophagic flux).

gnomAD: 0 homozygous PTCs, but a very common canonical splice which is present in the non-canonical transcript

Added comment: GWAS data: Combined evidence from summary-based Mendelian randomization studies and profiling of human loss-of-function allele carriers showed an inverse relation between TRIM47 expression in the brain and blood vessels and extensive small vessel disease severity. Observed significant enrichment of Trim47 in isolated brain vessel preparations compared to total brain fraction in mice, in line with the literature showing Trim47 enrichment in brain endothelial cells at single cell level. Functional evaluation of TRIM47 by small interfering RNAs-mediated knockdown in human brain endothelial cells showed increased endothelial permeability, an important hallmark of cerebral small vessel disease pathology.

Mendeliome v1.15 IKBKG Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: IKBKG: Added comment: X-linked systemic autoinflammatory disease (SAIDX) is characterized by the onset of systemic autoinflammation in the first months of life. Features include lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, fever, panniculitis, and nodular skin rash. Additional manifestations may include inflammation of the optic nerve, intracranial hemorrhage, and lipodystrophy. Laboratory studies show hypogammaglobulinemia, increased or decreased white blood cell count, autoimmune cytopenias, elevated serum inflammatory markers, and a type I interferon signature. 6 unrelated boys and a girl reported. All variants resulted in absence of the domain encoded by exon 5 (NEMOdelEx5).

Mendeliome v1.3 RDH11 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: RDH11: Added comment: 2nd case reported: 1 Chinese patient with retinitis pigmentosa, juvenile cataracts, intellectual disability, and myopathy. Trio-based WES and whole genomic CNV detection found compound heterozygous variants in RDH11 (p.Leu313Pro and c.75-3C>A) with biparental inheritance. Variant c.75-3C>A was confirmed to be a splice-site mutation by cDNA sequencing. It caused exon 2 skipping, resulting in a frameshift mutation and premature translation termination (p.Lys26Serfs*38). They found mislocalization of RDH11 protein in muscle cells of the patient by using immunofluorescence staining. Retinol dehydrogenase 11 (RDH11) is an 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase that has a well-characterized, albeit auxiliary role in the retinoid cycle. Diseases caused by mutations in the RDH11 gene are very rare, and only one affected family with eye and intelligence involvement has been reported.; Changed rating: AMBER; Changed publications: 24916380, 15634683, 30731079, 18326732, 34988992

Review for gene: ADD1 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 4 unrelated individuals affected by ID and/or complete or partial agenesis of corpus callosum, and enlarged lateral ventricles. WES found loss-of-function variants - 1 recessive missense variant and 3 de novo variants. The recessive variant is associated with ACC and enlarged lateral ventricles, and the de novo variants were associated with complete or partial agenesis of corpus callosum, mild ID and attention deficit. Human variants impair ADD1 protein expression and/or dimerization with ADD2. Add1 knockout mice recapitulate corpus callosum dysgenesis and ventriculomegaly phenotypes. Three adducin genes (ADD1, ADD2, and ADD3) encode cytoskeleton proteins that are critical for osmotic rigidity and cell shape. ADD1, ADD2, and ADD3 form heterodimers (ADD1/ADD2, ADD1/ADD3), which further form heterotetramers. Adducins interconnect spectrin and actin filaments to form polygonal scaffolds beneath the cell membranes and form ring-like structures in neuronal axons. Adducins regulate mouse neural development, but their function in the human brain is unknown

PMID 34107389 Hodan et al 2021 - report a 35 yo F with jejunal IFP and a heterozygous germline missense PDGFRA variant (c.1664A>G p.Y555C) . The variant segregated with 3 relatives with confirmed IFPs. Two obligate carriers were reported to have had a similar phenotype while at least one obligate male carrier had no reported history of IFPs. This variant was also reported in an unrelated family with multiple IFPs in 2006.

PMID 29486293 Manley et al 2018 - proband is a 50 yo M with multiple ileal intusussceptions and IFPs and GIST. Heterozygous D846V germline variant identified. Variant identified in daughter and 2 siblings. Coarser face, coarser skin, broader hands and feet, unexplained premature loss of teeth requiring dentures in their 40s described in relatives with the variant, no polyps or tumour identified in screened family members. Pdgfra +/K mutant mice recapitulated the human phenotype. Mice with the constitutively activated mutant PDGFRA shown to have diffuse expansion of the gastrointestinal submucosa, which exhibits an increased number of spindled fibroblast-like cells and marked collagen deposition. Mutant mice also develop intestinal polyps morphologically similar to IFPs. The Pdgfra +/K mice also exhibit thickened skin due to excess collagen deposition within the dermis and subcutaneous tissues.

Review for gene: CHKA was set to GREEN
Added comment: Klöckner (2022 - PMID: 35202461) describe the phenotype of 6 individuals (from 5 unrelated families) harboring biallelic CHKA variants.

Shared features incl. abnormal muscle tone(6/6 - hypertonia or hypotonia, 3/6 each), DD/ID (6/6,severe in 4, severe/profound in 2), epilepsy (6/6 - onset: infancy - 3y2m | epileptic spasms or GS at onset), microcephaly (6/6), movement disorders (3/6 - incl. dyskinesia, rigidity, choreoatetotic movements). 2/5 individuals exhibited MRI abnormalities, notably hypomyelination. Short stature was observed in 4/6.

Eventual previous genetic testing was not discussed.

Exome sequencing (quattro ES for 2 sibs, trio ES for 1 individual, singleton for 3 probands) revealed biallelic CHKA variants in all affected individuals. Sanger sequencing was performed for confirmation and segregation studies.

Other variants (in suppl.) were not deemed to be causative for the neurodevelopmental phenotype.

3 different missense, 1 start-loss and 1 truncating variant were identified, namely (NM_0012772.2):
- c.421C>T/p.(Arg141Trp) [3 hmz subjects from 2 consanguineous families],
- c.580C>T/p.Pro194Ser [1 hmz individual born to consanguineous parents],
- c.2T>C/p.(Met1?) [1 hmz individual born to related parents],
- c.14dup/p.(Cys6Leufs*19) in trans with c.1021T>C/p.(Phe341Leu) in 1 individual.

CHKA encodes choline kinase alpha, an enzyme catalyzing the first step of phospholipid synthesis in the Kennedy pathway. The pathway is involved in de novo synthesis of glycerophospholipids, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine being the most abundant in eukaryotic membranes.

CHKA with its paralog (CHKB) phosphorylates either choline or ethanolamine to phosphocholine or phosphoethanolamine respectively with conversion of ATP to ADP.

As the authors comment, biallelic pathogenic variants in CHKB cause a NDD with muscular dystrophy, hypotonia, ID, microcephaly and structural mitochondrial anomalies (MIM 602541). [Prominent mitochondrial patterning was observed in a single muscle biopsy available from an individual with biallelic CHKA variants].

Other disorders of the Kennedy pathway (due to biallelic PCYT2, SELENOI, PCYT1A variants) present with overlapping features incl. variable DD/ID (no-severe), microcephaly, seizures, visual impairment etc.

CHKA variants were either absent or observed once in gnomAD, affected highly conserved AAs with multiple in silico predictions in favor of a deleterious effect.

In silico modeling suggests structural effects for several of the missense variants (Arg141Trp, Pro194Ser presumably affect ADP binding, Phe341 lying close to the binding site of phosphocholine).

Each of the missense variants was expressed in yeast cells and W. Blot suggested expression at the expected molecular weight at comparative levels. The 3 aforementioned variants exhibited reduced catalytic activity (20%, 15%, 50% respectively).

NMD is thought to underly the deleterious effect of the frameshift one (not studied).

The start-loss variant is expected to result in significantly impaired expression and protein function as eventual utilization of the next possible start codon - occurring at position 123 - would remove 26% of the protein.

Chka(-/-) is embryonically lethal in mice, suggesting that complete loss is not compatible with life. Reduction of choline kinase activity by 30% in heterozygous mice did not appear to result in behavioral abnormalities although this was not studied in detail (PMID cited: 18029352). Finally, screening of 1566 mouse lines identified 198 genes whose disruption yields neuroanatomical phenotypes, Chka(+/-) mice being among these (PMID cited: 31371714).

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM, Gene2Phenotype or SysID.

Overall this gene can be considered for inclusion in the ID and epilepsy panes with green or amber rating (>3 individuals, >3 variants, variant studies, overlapping phenotype of disorders belonging to the same pathway, etc). Consider also inclusion in the microcephaly panel (where available this seemed to be of postnatal onset).

Added comment: 2 different consanguineous families with 2 affected siblings with ataxia (1 paediatric onset, 1 adult onset). 3 of the patients had cerebellar atrophy. WES identified homozygous variants in CHP1 gene in both families (K19del and Arg91Cys), which segregated with the disorder in the family.

Decreased CHP1 protein on IHC of cerebellar tissue in family with Arg91Cys variant. In vitro functional expression studies in HEK293 cells showed that the K19del mutation resulted in decreased protein expression, with normal levels of transcript, suggesting defects in protein stability. The mutant protein formed massive protein aggregates in transfected neuronal cell bodies and neurite-like projections, whereas the wildtype protein showed a more uniform distribution. The mutant protein altered CHP1 association into functional complexes and impaired membrane localization of the Na+/H+ transporter NHE1. The findings indicated that the CHP1 mutation likely causes ataxia in an NHE1-dependent manner, resembling the mechanism observed in the Chp1 vacillator mutant mouse.

Mendeliome v0.10561 ATP5G3 Naomi Baker edited their review of gene: ATP5G3: Added comment: Note that HGNC approved gene name is ATP5MC3.

PMID: 34636445 reports a missense variant identified in a large single-family pedigree with dystonia and spastic paraplegia. The variant was identified via exome sequencing of the proband and a distant cousin, focussing on variants within the previously determined linkage region. The identical missense variant was also identified in a patient with childhood onset dystonic syndrome and was shown to be de novo. Functional studies of fibroblast cell lines from affected father (HSP) and proband of large family demonstrated decreased complex V function. A drosophila model containing the missense variant had reduced mobility and reduced complex V activity.

PMID: 34954817 reports de novo monoallelic missense variants in three individuals, however one of these individuals was reported in above paper. The other two patients were: (1) a-15-year-old girl with milestone delay, pyramidal signs, and generalized dystonia with prominent upper-body involvement, and (2) a 6-year-old boy with delayed psychomotor development, lower-extremity spasticity, and elevated blood lactate levels; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed publications: PMID: 34636445, 34954817

Added comment: Antonarakis et al., 2021 (PMID: 33693784) reported two affected siblings from a non-consanguineous New Zealand family. Both had retinal detachment and interstitial parenchymal pulmonary changes on chest X-rays, but only one child had additional significant features such as cataract, posterior encephalocele, severe DD/ID with ASD, and epilepsy. WES revealed a heterozygous PAK2 variant (c.1303 G>A, p.Glu435Lys) in both individuals that apparently occurred de novo indicating parental germ-line mosaicism; however, mosaicism could not be detected by deep sequencing of blood parental DNA. Functional studies showed that the variant, located in the kinase domain, results in a partial loss of the kinase activity.

Added comment: 2 consanguineous families with 5 affected individuals with developmental delay, intellectual disability, and microcephaly (-2-4SD). Exome and genome sequencing identified 2 different homozygous variants in NAA20 gene (p.Met54Val and p.Ala80Val), and segregated with affected individuals. N-terminal acetyltransferases modify proteins by adding an acetyl moiety to the first amino acid and are vital for protein and cell function. The NatB complex acetylates 20% of the human proteome and is composed of the catalytic subunit NAA20 and the auxiliary subunit NAA25. Both NAA20-M54V and NAA20-A80V were impaired in their capacity to form a NatB complex with NAA25, and in vitro acetylation assays revealed reduced catalytic activities toward different NatB substrates.

Mendeliome v0.10041 SMPX Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: SMPX: Added comment: PMID 33974137: Four different missense variants were identified in ten patients from nine families in five different countries. Haplotype analysis of patients with similar ancestry revealed two different founder mutations in Southern Europe and France, indicating that the prevalence in these populations may be higher. Clinical features: adult-onset, usually distal more than proximal limb muscle weakness, slowly progressing over decades with preserved walking. Lower limb muscle imaging showed a characteristic pattern of muscle involvement and fatty degeneration. Histopathological and electron microscopic analysis of patient muscle biopsies revealed myopathic findings with rimmed vacuoles and the presence of sarcoplasmic inclusions, some with amyloid-like characteristics. In silico predictions and subsequent cell culture studies showed that the missense mutations increase aggregation propensity of the SMPX protein. In cell culture studies, overexpressed SMPX localized to stress granules and slowed down their clearance.; Changed publications: 21549342, 21549336, 21893181, 22911656, 28542515, 33974137; Changed phenotypes: Deafness, X-linked 4, MIM# 300066, Distal myopathy, adult-onset

Mendeliome v0.9776 NEBL Bryony Thompson Added comment: Comment on list classification: Limited gene-disease vailidity, Classification - 09/25/2020 by ClinGen Dilated Cardiomyopathy GCEP. Evidence Summary: NEBL was evaluated for autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Human genetic evidence supporting this gene-disease relationship includes case-level data. Arimura and colleagues (2000, PMID: 11140941) analyzed 83 DCM patients and 311 healthy controls, identifying 4 missense variants of unknown significance (VUSs) in 4 DCM cases. High minor allele frequencies (MAFs) and lack of segregation excluded these variants as evidence. Purevjav and colleagues (2010, PMID: 20951326) investigated a total of 260 DCM patients and 300 unrelated ethnic matched controls by direct DNA sequencing. Authors identified 4 missense VUSs. One of these variants (Q128R) was downgraded in level of evidence due to the lack of segregation. The other 3 variants were not scored because of their MAF. Perrot and colleagues (2016, PMID: 27186169) investigated a total of 389 patients with DCM, HCM, or LVNC, 320 Caucasian sex-matched controls and 192 Caucasian sex-matched blood donors and identified 3 missense VUSs in 4 families. One of these variants was also carried by healthy relatives and therefore was excluded, however this may be explained by reduced penetrance. The 2 other variants lacked segregation as well and therefore were also excluded. In addition, this gene-disease association is supported by animal models. Mastronotaro and colleagues (2015, PMID: 25987543) created a NEBL knockout mice that exhibited normal cardiac function up to 9 months of age but after 2 weeks of transaortic constriction (TAC), these mice showed Z-line widening since the age of 5 months and upregulation of cardiac stress genes (basal and after TAC) However, absence of clinical DCM features in KO-NEBL mice as well as Western Blot analysis which contradicted previous findings by showing a similar protein expression between knockout and wild-type mice, excluding it as evidence. Purevjav and colleagues (2010, PMID: 20951326) generated a transgenic mouse overexpressing WT or mutant NEBL under the control of the α-MyHC promoter (4 variants were tested). Mice overexpressing p.K60N or p.Q128R variants died within 1 year because of severe heart enlargement and heart failure. Mice overexpressing p.G202R or p.A592E were born and developed normally but after 6 months displayed reduced stress tolerance, cardiac enlargement due to left ventricle dilation, myocyte disarray, and interstitial cell infiltration. In summary, there is limited evidence to support this gene-disease relationship. More evidence is needed to support the relationship of NEBL and autosomal dominant DCM. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Dilated Cardiomyopathy Working Group on October 11, 2019 (SOP Version 7). Gene Clinical Validity Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) - SOP7

gene: KCNQ1OT1 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Expert Review
Mode of inheritance for gene: KCNQ1OT1 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, maternally imprinted (paternal allele expressed)
Publications for gene: KCNQ1OT1 were set to 22205991; 15372379; 23511928; 30794780; 29377879; 10220444; 32447323; 33177595; 29047350
Phenotypes for gene: KCNQ1OT1 were set to Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome OMIM:130650; Russell-Silver Syndrome
Review for gene: KCNQ1OT1 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Limited evidence that isolated intragenic variation in KCNQ1OT1 is definitively associated with a phenotype.

KCNQ1OT1 encodes the regulatory antisense non-coding RNA KCNQ1OT1 (KCNQ1 overlapping) and is located within the KCNQ1OT1:TSS DMR (imprinting control region 2; IC2) at 11p15.5. IC2 is located within KCNQ1 intron 10. KCNQ1OT1 is maternally imprinted and paternally expressed. On the paternal chromosome, KCNQ1OT1 is transcribed and represses in cis the flanking imprinted genes, including the growth inhibitor CDKN1C, which is normally transcribed from the maternal allele. In 50% of the BWS patients, loss of methylation (LOM) of IC2 leads to biallelic expression of KCNQ1OT1 and biallelic silencing of CDKN1C (PMID 30635621). Expression is increased in BWS due to IC2 epimutations or paternal UPD.

Single nucleotide variants within KCNQ1OT1 have not been definitively associated with human disease. A heterozygous maternally inherited non-coding variant was identified in an individual with isolated omphalocele. This variant was shown to alter the methylation pattern of the imprinted allele (PMID 29047350).

Eggerman et al (PMID 32447323) described a 132 base pair deletion within KCNQ1OT1 associated with growth retardation in the case of paternal but not maternal transmission. This intragenic deletion did not affect IC2 methylation.

Microdeletions of IC2 involving KCNQ1OT1 on the paternal allele have been identified in a small number of patients with Russell-Silver syndrome. Similarly, microdeletions of IC2 involving KCNQ1OT1 on the maternal allele have been identified in a small number of patients with BWS. These deletions also variably involve KCNQ1 or CDKN1C. LoF in CDKN1C is a known cause of BWS. There is some evidence to suggest that disruption of KCNQ1 prevents maternal methylation at IC2 (PMID 30778172).

Added comment: Moderate evidence for autosomal dominant short QT syndrome 1 by ClinGen /gene curation expert panel (PMID: 34557911). A single missense variant (absent gnomAD) identified in two SQTS families. In family 1, it segregated with SQTS (QTc<370ms) in 23 carriers, and 19 non-carriers had a QTc>370ms. In family 2, it segregated in 4 individuals. Experimental evidence from in vitro and zebrafish models suggests reduced membrane localization of the mutated protein leads to intracellular alkalinization and shortening of the cardiomyocyte action potential duration.
ClinGen expert panel was divided between strong (4 votes) and moderate (5 votes).

Added comment: Dworschak et al. (2021) via WES reported 10 patients from 7 families with biallelic (n=7) or de novo (n=3) PLXNA1 variants. Shared phenotypic features include global developmental delay (9/10), brain anomalies (6/10), and eye anomalies (7/10). Seizures were predominantly reported in patients with monoallelic variants. Zebrafish studies showed an embryonic role of plxna1a in the development of the central nervous system and the eye. Biallelic variants in the extracellular Plexin-A1 domains lead to impaired dimerization or lack of receptor molecules, whereas monoallelic variants in the intracellular Plexin-A1 domains might impair downstream signaling through a dominant-negative effect.

All variants are common in gnomAD (>20 hets each) and classified as VUS or likely benign in ClinVar (paper is from 2008, pre-dates gnomAD). Functional studies were performed showing a LOF effect, where cell adhesion was reduced.
However NMD PTCs are present in gnomAD (many >=6 hets each)

PMID: 12052883 - null mouse model were viable, showed no gross developmental defects. In particular, the skeletal musculature appeared essentially normal. In the cerebellum of M-cadherin-lacking mutants, typical contactus adherens junctions were present and similar in size and numbers to the equivalent junctions in wild-type animals. However, the adhesion plaques in the cerebellum of these mutants appeared to contain elevated levels of N-cadherin compared to wild-type animals.

PMID: 28422132 - reviewed microdeletions spanning multiple genes including CDH15, suggests it may contribute to a more severe neurological phenotype, with particular regard to brain malformations.

Added comment: Reinstein et al. (2018) used WES in a large consanguineous Israeli Arab kindred consisting of 16 patients affected with the neurogenic type of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. They identified a homozygous missense (V98E) mutation in ERGIC1 gene, which segregated with the disorder in the kindred, and was not found in the ExAC database or in 212 ethnically matched controls. Functional studies of the variant and studies of patient cells were not performed. ERGIC1 encodes a cycling membrane protein which has a possible role in transport between endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi.

Marconi et al (2021) used genome sequencing in a consanguineous family with 2 affected siblings presenting congenital arthrogryposis and some facial dysmorphism. They identified a homozygous 22.6 Kb deletion encompassing the promoter and first exon of ERGIC1. mRNA quantification showed the complete absence of ERGIC1 expression in the two affected siblings and a decrease in heterozygous parents.

Mendeliome v0.8853 PLAG1 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: PLAG1: Added comment: Additional families reported, upgrade to Green.

Silver-Russell syndrome-4 (SRS4) is characterised by intrauterine growth retardation followed by feeding difficulties and postnatal growth restriction. Dysmorphic facial features include triangular face and prominent forehead, and relative macrocephaly at birth may be observed. So far 4 families have been reported with some functional studies of the role of the gene in the growth pathway.

Abi Habib et al. (2018) reported 1 family (child, sister and mother) patient with Silver-Russell syndrome (with normal methylation on chromosomes 7, 11, and 14, and exclusion of maternal UPD and chromosomal rearrangements). Using WES they identified a heterozygous 1-bp deletion in the PLAG1 gene. The variant segregated with disease, and was not present in polymorphism databases or ExAC. They also reported another patient with a different heterozygous 1-bp deletion in the PLAG1 gene. This was not found in her unaffected twin brother, older brother, or parents. Experiments in Hep3b cells demonstrated that PLAG1 positively regulates expression of the IGF2 promoter P3, independently and via the HMGA2-PLAG1-IGF2 pathway. Disruption of any gene in the pathway results in a decrease in IGF2 expression and produces an SRS phenotype similar to that of patients carrying 11p15.5 epigenetic defects (SRS1; 180860), except for body asymmetry, which is not expected to occur since the molecular defects are present in all cells of the body, unlike the mosaic epigenetic changes at the 11p15.5 locus.

Review for gene: RNF220 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Sferra et al (2021 - PMID: 33964137) provide extensive evidence that biallelic RNF220 mutations cause a disorder characterized by hypomyelinating leukodystrophy, ataxia (9/9 - onset 1-5y), borderline intellectual functioning (3/9) / intellectual disability (5/9 - in most cases mild), sensorineural deafness (9/9) with complete hearing loss in the first decade of life, hepatopathy (9/9) with associated periportal fibrosis, and dilated cardiomyopathy (9/9) which was fatal.

Other neurologic manifestations apart from ataxia incl. hyperreflexia (8/8), spastic paraplegia (9/9), dysarthria (9/9), peripheral neuropathy (4/9), seizures in one case (1/9). Upon brain MRI there was thin corpus callosum (9/9) or cerebellar atrophy in some (2/9).

The authors identified homozygosity for 2 recurrent missense RNF220 variants in affected members belonging to these 5 broad consanguineous pedigrees (7 families), namely NM_018150.4:c.1094G>A / p.Arg365Gly in 4 Roma families in the context of a shared haplotype (/founder effect) as well as c.1088G>A / p.Arg363Gly in a large pedigree from southern Italy initially reported by Leuzzi et al (2000 - PMID: 10881263).

Extensive segregation analyses were carried out including several affected and unaffected members.

RNF220 encodes ring finger protein 220, which functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Previous studies have shown among others a role in modulation of Sonic hedgehog/GLI signaling and cerebellar development

Evidence for the role of RNF220 included relevant expression, localization within the cell, interaction partners (lamin B1, 20S proteasome), similarities with other laminopathies in terms of phenotype, etc :
*RNF220 has a relevant expression pattern in CNS (based on qRT-PCR analyses in human brain, cerebellum, cerebral cortex / mRNA levels in human fetal CNS with higher expression in cerebellum, spinal cord and cortex / previous GTEx data / protein levels in mouse CNS)
*The protein displays nuclear localization based on iPSC cells differentiated to motor neurons (also supported by data from the Human Protein Atlas). Transfection of COS-1 cells demonstrated localization primarily to the nucleus (as also previously demonstrated in HEK293T cells) in vesicle like structures with ASF2/SF2 colocalization suggesting enrichment in nuclear speckles. There was also partial co-distribution with the 20S proteasome. R363Q and R365Q additionally coalesced in the cytoplasm forming protein aggregates/inclusions.
*Immunofluorescence studies in patient fibroblasts also confirmed abnormal increase of the protein in the cytoplasm and increased fluorescence with the 20S proteasome.
*Proteomic identification of RNF220-interacting proteins in transfected HEK293T cells demonstrated enrichment for all members of the lamin protein family (incl . lamin B1, AC, B2).
*RNAi-mediated downregulation of RNF222 in Drosophila suggested altered subcellular localization and accumulation of the fly orthologue for human lamin B1.
*Immunoprecipitation of lamin B1 from the nuclear matrix of cerebellar cells suggested significant interaction of endogenous lamin B1 with RNF220, while transfection studies in HEK293T cells for wt/mt suggested reduced binding to endogenous lamin B1 for RNF220 mt compared to wt (more prominent for R365Q). RNF220 mutants also reduced ubiquitination of nuclear lamin B1 compared to wt.
*Patient fibroblasts immunostained with different nuclear envelope markers displayed abnormal nuclear shapes with multiple invaginations and lobulations, findings also observed in laminopathies.

Mendeliome v0.8807 VPS50 Zornitza Stark gene: VPS50 was added
gene: VPS50 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: VPS50 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: VPS50 were set to 34037727
Phenotypes for gene: VPS50 were set to Neonatal cholestatic liver disease; Failure to thrive; Profound global developmental delay; Postnatal microcephaly; Seizures; Abnormality of the corpus callosum
Review for gene: VPS50 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Schneeberger et al (2021 - PMID: 34037727) describe the phenotype of 2 unrelated individuals with biallelic VPS50 variants.

Common features included transient neonatal cholestasis, failure to thrive, severe DD with failure to achieve milestones (last examination at 2y and 2y2m respectively), postnatal microcephaly, seizures (onset at 6m and 25m) and irritability. There was corpus callosum hypoplasia on brain imaging.

Both individuals were homozygous for variants private to each family (no/not known consanguinity applying to each case). The first individual was homozygous for a splicing variant (NM_017667.4:c.1978-1G>T) and had a similarly unaffected sister deceased with no available DNA for testing. The other individual was homozygous for an in-frame deletion (c.1823_1825delCAA / p.(Thr608del)).

VPS50 encodes a critical component of the endosome-associated recycling protein (EARP) complex, which functions in recycling endocytic vesicles back to the plasma membrane [OMIM based on Schindler et al]. The complex contains VPS50, VPS51, VPS52, VPS53, the three latter also being components of GARP (Golgi-associated-retrograde protein) complex. GARP contains VPS54 instead of VPS50 and is required for trafficking of proteins to the trans-golgi network. Thus VPS50 (also named syndetin) and VPS54 function in the EARP and GARP complexes, to define directional movement of their endocytic vesicles [OMIM based on Schindler et al]. The VPS50 subunit is required for recycling of the transferrin receptor.

As discussed by Schneeberger et al (refs provided in text):
- VPS50 has a high expression in mouse and human brain as well as throughout mouse brain development.
- Mice deficient for Vps50 have not been reported. vps50 knockdown in zebrafish results in severe developmental defects of the body axis. Knockout mice for other proteins of the EARP/GARP complex (e.g. Vps52, 53 and 54) display embryonic lethality.

Studies performed by Schneeberger et al included:
- Transcript analysis for the 1st variant demonstrated skipping of ex21 (in patient derived fabriblasts) leading to an in frame deletion of 81 bp (r.1978_2058del) with predicted loss of 27 residues (p.Leu660_Leu686del).
- Similar VPS50 mRNA levels but significant reduction of protein levels (~5% and ~8% of controls) were observed in fibroblasts from patients 1 and 2. Additionally, significant reductions in the amounts of VPS52 and VPS53 protein levels were observed despite mRNA levels similar to controls. Overall, this suggested drastic reduction of functional EARP complex levels.
- Lysosomes appeared to have similar morphology, cellular distribution and likely unaffected function in patient fibroblasts.
- Transferrin receptor recycling was shown to be delayed in patient fibroblasts suggestive of compromise of endocytic-recycling function.

As the authors comment, the phenotype of both individuals with biallelic VPS50 variants overlaps with the corresponding phenotype reported in 15 subjects with biallelic VPS53 or VPS51 mutations notably, severe DD/ID, microcephaly and early onset epilepsy, CC anomalies. Overall, for this group, they propose the term "GARP and/or EARP deficiency disorders".

There is no VPS50-associated phenotype in OMIM or G2P. SysID includes VPS50 among the ID candidate genes.

Added comment: 11 individuals reported, 9 that carried 8 different rare heterozygous missense variants in CLCN3, and 2 siblings that were homozygous for an NMD-predicted frameshift variant likely abolishing ClC-3 function. All missense variants were confirmed to be de novo in eight individuals for whom parental data was available.

The 11 individuals in the cohort share clinical features of variable severity. All 11 have GDD or ID and dysmorphic features, and a majority has mood or behavioural disorders and structural brain abnormalities:
- Structural brain abnormalities on MRI (9/11) included partial or full agenesis of the corpus callosum (6/9), disorganized cerebellar folia (4/9), delayed myelination (3/9), decreased white matter volume (3/9), pons hypoplasia (3/9), and dysmorphic dentate nuclei (3/9). Six of those with brain abnormalities also presented with seizures.
- Nine have abnormal vision, including strabismus in four and inability to fix or follow in the two with homozygous loss-of-function variants.
- Hypotonia ranging from mild to severe was reported in 7 of the 11 individuals.
- Six have mood or behavioural disorders, particularly anxiety (3/6).
- Consistent dysmorphic facial features included microcephaly, prominent forehead, hypertelorism, down-slanting palpebral fissures, full cheeks, and micrognathia.

The severity of disease in the two siblings with homozygous disruption of ClC-3 is consistent with the drastic phenotype seen in Clcn3 KO mice. The disease was more severe in two siblings carrying homozygous loss-of-function variants with the presence of GDD, absent speech, seizures, and salt and pepper fundal pigmentation in both individuals, with one deceased at 14 months of age. The siblings also had significant neuroanatomical findings including diffusely decreased white matter volume, thin corpora callosa, small hippocampi, and disorganized cerebellar folia. Supporting biallelic inheritance for LoF variants, disruption of mouse Clcn3 results in drastic neurodegeneration with loss of the hippocampus a few months after birth and early retinal degeneration. Clcn3−/− mice display severe neurodegeneration, whereas heterozygous Clcn3+/− mice appear normal.

Patch-clamp studies were used to investigate four of the missense variants. These suggested a gain of function in two variants with increased current in HEK cells, however they also showed reduced rectification of voltage and a loss of transient current, plus decreased current amplitude, glycosylation and surface expression when expressed in oocytes, and were suspected to interfere with channel gating and a negative feedback mechanism. These effects were also shown to vary depending on pH levels. The current of the remaining two variants did not differ from WT. For heterozygous missense variants, the disruption induced may be at least partially conferred to mutant/WT homodimers and mutant/ClC-4 heterodimers.

Both loss and gain of function in this gene resulted in the same phenotype.

Mendeliome v0.8583 PRDX3 Hazel Phillimore changed review comment from: Biallelic variants in 5 unrelated families with early onset (median 21 years , range 13-22 years) with ataxia with variable additional hyper- and hypokinetic movement disorders, and severe early-onset cerebellar atrophy (seen on MRI), and involvement of the brainstem, medullary olive and parietal cortex.
Evolution of the disease was gait ataxia leading to upper limb ataxia, then dysarthria and then dysphagia, all within a decade. For some of these patients, the phenotype included myoclonus, dystonia and / or tremor. Mild classical mitochondrial features were seen in one of the patients, namely ptosis and COX-negative fibres.
The variants were homozygous nonsense, homozygous frameshift, homozygous missense, and a compound heterozygote of a splice variant and missense, all leading to complete loss of the protein. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction was indicated as the disease mechanism.
The families originated from Germany, France, India and two from eastern Turkey. The two families from Turkey were seemingly unrelated to each other but had the same homozygous missense.
Patient fibroblasts from each of the five probands showed lack of protein (via Western blot) and decreased glutathione peroxidase activity and decreased mitochondrial maximal respiratory capacity.
PRXD3 encodes peroxiredoxin 3, a mitochondrial antioxidant protein, that catalyses the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. It localises in the mitochondria, where most hydrogen peroxide is generated.
Functional studies: PRDX3 knockdown (induced by silencing RNA against PRDX3) in cerebellar medulloblastoma cells showed significantly decreased cell viability, increased hydrogen peroxide levels and increased susceptibility to apoptosis triggered by reactive oxygen species.
In addition, induced knockdown drosophila (in vivo animal model) had aberrant locomotor phenotypes and reduced lifespans, while immunolabelling of the brain showed increased cell death after exposure to oxidative stress.

Phenotypes for gene: CAMK4 were set to Intellectual disability; Autism; Behavioral abnormality; Abnormality of movement; Dystonia; Ataxia; Chorea; Myoclonus
Review for gene: CAMK4 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 3 publications by Zech et al (2018, 2020 - PMIDs : 30262571, 33098801, 33211350) provide clinical details on 3 individuals, each harboring a private de novo CAMK4 variant.

Overlapping features included DD, ID, behavoral issues, autism and abnormal hyperkinetic movements. Dystonia and chorea in all 3 appeared 3-20 years after initial symptoms.

CAMK4 encodes Calcium/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV, an important mediator of calcium-mediated activity and dynamics, particularly in the brain. It is involved in neuronal transmission, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal gene expression required for brain development and neuronal homeostasis (summary by OMIM based on Zech et al, 2018).

The 473 aa enzyme has a protein kinase domain (aa 46-300) and a C-terminal autoregulatory domain (aa 305-341) the latter comprising an autoinhibitory domain (AID / aa 305-321) and a calmodulin-binding domain (CBD / aa 322-341) [NP_001735.1 / NM_001744.4 - also used below].

Variants in all 3 subjects were identified following trio-WES and were in all cases protein-truncating, mapping to exon 10 or exon 10-intron 10 junction, expected to escape NMD and cause selective abrogation of the autoinhibitory domain (aa 305-321) leading overall to gain-of-function.

Variation databases include pLoF CAMK4 variants albeit in all cases usptream or downstream of this region (pLI of this gene in gnomAD: 0.51). Variants leading to selective abrogation of the autoregulatory domain have not been reported.

Extensive evidence for the GoF effect of the variant has been provided in the first publication. Several previous studies have demonstrated that abrogation of the AID domain leads to consitutive activation (details below).

Mouse models - though corresponding to homozygous loss of function - support a role for CAMKIV in cognitive and motor symptoms. Null mice display tremulous and ataxic movements, deficiencies in balance and sensorimotor performance associated with reduced number of Purkinje neurons (Ribar et al 2000, PMID: 11069976 - not reviewed). Wei et al (2002, PMID: 12006982 - not reviewed) provided evidence for alteration in hippocampal physiology and memory function.

Heterozygous mutations in other genes for calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CAMKs) e.g. CAMK2A/CAMK2B (encoding subunits of CAMKII) have been reported in individuals with ID.

---

The proband in the first publication (PMID: 30262571) was a male with DD, ID, behavioral difficulties (ASD, autoaggression, stereotypies) and hyperkinetic movement disorder (myoclonus, chorea, ataxia) with severe generalized dystonia (onset at the age of 13y). Brain MRI demonstrated cerebellar atrophy.

Extensive work-up incl. karyotyping, CMA, DYT-TOR1A, THAP1, GCH1, SCA1/2/3/6/7/8/12/17, Friedreich's ataxia and FMR1 analysis was negative.F

Trio WES identified a dn splice site variant (c.981+1G>A) in the last exon-intron junction. RT-PCR followed by gel electrophoresis and Sanger in fibroblasts from an affected and control subject revealed that the proband had - as predicted by the type/location of the variant - in equal amount 2 cDNA products, a normal as well as a truncated one.

Sequencing of the shortest revealed utilization of a cryptic donor splice site upstream of the mutated donor leading to a 77bp out-of-frame deletion and introduction of a premature stop codon in the last codon (p.Lys303Serfs*28). Western blot in fibroblast cell lines revealed 2 bands corresponding to the normal protein product as well as to the p.Lys303Serfs*28 although expression of the latter was lower than that of the full length protein.

Several previous studies have shown that mutant CAMKIV species that lack the autoinhibitory domain are consitutively active (several Refs provided). Among others Chatila et al (1996, PMID: 8702940) studied an in vitro-engineered truncation mutant (Δ1-317 - truncation at position 317 of the protein) with functionally validated gain-of-function effect.

To prove enhanced activity of the splicing variant, Zech et al assessed phosphorylation of CREB (cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein), a downstream substrate of CAMKIV. Immunobloting revealed significant increase of CREB phosphorylation in patient fibroblasts compared to controls. Overactivation of CAMKIV signaling was reversed when cells were treated with STO-609 an inhibitor of CAMKK, the ustream activator of CAMKIV.

Overall the authors demonstrated that loss of CAMKIV autoregulatory domain due to this splice variant had a gain-of-function effect.

----

Following trio-WES, Zech et al (2020 - PMID: 33098801) identified another relevant subject within cohort of 764 individuals with dystonia. This 12-y.o. male, harboring a different variant affecting the same donor site (c.981+1G>T), presented DD, ID, dystonia (onset at 3y) and additional movement disorders (myoclonus, ataxia) as well as similar behavior (ASD, autoaggression, stereotypies). [Details in suppl. p20].

----

Finally Zech et al (2020 - PMID: 33211350) reported on a 24-y.o. woman with adolescence onset choreodystonia. Other features included DD, moderate ID, absence seizures in infancy, OCD with anxiety and later diagnosis of ASD. Trio WES revealed a dn stopgain variant (c.940C>T; p.Gln314*).

Review for gene: EPHA7 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Lévy et al (2021 - PMID: 34176129) provide evidence that haploinssuficiency of EPHA7 results in a neurodevelopmental disorder.

The authors report on 12 individuals belonging to 9 unrelated families, all harboring with 6q microdeletions spanning EPHA7.

Overlapping features included DD (13/13), ID (10/10 - mild in most cases, individuals with larger CNVs/additional variants had more severe phenotype), speech delay and behavioral disorders. Variable other features incl. hypotonia (70%), non specific facial features, eye abnormalities (40%) and cardiac defects (25%).

The CNVs ranged from 152 kb to few Mb in size but in 4 subjects (P5-8) were only minimal, involving only EPHA7.

9 out of 12 individuals had inherited the deletion (5 subjects paternal, 4 maternal), in 1 subject (P12) this occured de novo, while for 2 others inheritance was not specified. Most deletions were inherited from an unaffected parent (in 6/7 families), with unclear contribution in a further one.

The authors discuss on previous studies suggesting an important role for EphA7 in brain development (modulation of cell-cell adhesion and repulsion, regulation of dendrite morphogenesis in early corticogenesis, role in dendritic spine formation later in development. EphA7 has also been proposed to drive neuronal maturation and synaptic function).

Haploinsufficiency for other ephrins or ephrin receptors has been implicated in other NDDs.

Overall Lévy et al promote incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity with haploinsufficiency of this gene being a risk factor for NDD. [The gene has also an %HI of 2.76% and a pLI of 1].

------
Currently there are 3 unrelated pedigrees in literature with different biallelic MCM7 variants associated with disease (see below). Although there is some functional data in support of variant-level deleteriousness or gene-level pathogenicity, the clinical gestalt is very different between the 3 families.

- PMID: 33654309 (2021) - Two unrelated individuals with different compound het variants in MCM7 but disparate clinical features. One patient had typical Meier-Gorlin syndrome (including growth retardation, microcephaly, congenital lung emphysema, absent breast development, microtia, facial dysmorphism) whereas the second case had a multi-system disorder with neonatal progeroid appearance, lipodystrophy and adrenal insufficiency. While small at birth, the second patient did not demonstrate reduced stature or microcephaly at age 14.5 years. Both individuals had normal neurodevelopment.
Functional studies using patient-derived fibroblasts demonstrate that the identified MCM7 variants were deleterious at either transcript or protein levels and through interfering with MCM complex formation, impact efficiency of S phase progression.

- PMID: 34059554 (2021) - Homozygous missense variant identified in three affected individuals from a consanguineous family with severe primary microcephaly, severe ID and behavioural abnormalities. Knockdown of Mcm7 in mouse neuroblastoma cells lead to reduced cell viability and proliferation with increased apoptosis, which were rescued by overexpression of wild-type but not mutant MCM7.

Mendeliome v0.7464 VPS41 Kristin Rigbye changed review comment from: "Five unrelated families with nine affected individuals, all carrying homozygous variants in VPS41 that we show impact protein function. All affected individuals presented with a progressive neurodevelopmental disorder consisting of cognitive impairment, cerebellar atrophy/hypoplasia, motor dysfunction with ataxia and dystonia, and nystagmus. Zebrafish disease modelling supports the involvement of VPS41 dysfunction in the disorder, indicating lysosomal dysregulation throughout the brain and providing support for cerebellar and microglial abnormalities when vps41 was mutated. This provides the first example of human disease linked to the HOPS-specific subunit VPS41 and suggests the importance of HOPS complex activity for cerebellar function."; to: "Five unrelated families with nine affected individuals, all carrying homozygous variants in VPS41 that we show impact protein function.

"Affected individuals were born after uneventful pregnancies and presented in most cases early in life with developmental delay. Various degrees of ataxia, hypotonia, and dystonia were present in all affected individuals, preventing independent ambulation. Likewise, nystagmus was commonly described. In addition, all affected individuals displayed intellectual disability and speech delay. Two siblings further presented with therapy-resistant epilepsy. No major dysmorphic features were found. In two individuals, retinal pigment alterations were noticed. Brain MRI revealed mild cerebellar atrophy and vermian atrophy without other major structural abnormalities in most affected individuals while in one case (Subject 9) bilateral hyperintensities at the nucleus caudatus area were noted. No hearing or vision problems were noted and in cases where nerve conduction studies were performed, these were normal. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on peripheral blood lymphocytes from Subject 2 and lymphoblastoid cells from Subject 3 revealed more multilayered vesicles compared to control cells."

Mendeliome v0.7249 NDUFB11 Kristin Rigbye changed review comment from: Variable syndromic features have been observed in affected individuals, however anaemia and cardiomyopathy appear to be consistent features in males and females, respectively (PMID: 28050600, PMID: 30423443, PMID: 27488349).

Affected females have previously been reported with inherited pathogenic variants from their unaffected mothers. It has been suggested that this may be due to patterns of somatic X-chromosome inactivation, mosaicism or additional genetic or external factors (PMID: 28050600).

Affected females have been reported with null alleles, whereas affected males have only been identified with missense variants or a recurrent single residue in-frame deletion, suggesting that some residual enzyme activity is required for males to be viable, whereas complete loss of function variants may be lethal when hemizygous (PMID: 30423443).
Note: female carriers of missense variants have not been reported as clinically affected.

Added comment: 3 individuals from 2 families with severe developmental delay, variable brain anomalies, congenital heart defects, dysmorphic facial features, and a distinctive type of synpolydactyly with an additional hypoplastic digit between the fourth and fifth digits of hands and/or feet. Exome sequencing identified different homozygous truncating variants in MAPKAPK5 in both families, segregating with disease and unaffected parents as carriers.

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.

Mendeliome v0.7166 SMPD1 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Well established gene-disease association.; to: Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) refers to a group of disorders that present with varying degrees of lipid storage and foam cell infiltration in tissues, as well as overlapping clinical features including hepatosplenomegaly, pulmonary insufficiency and/or central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Type A NPD patients exhibit hepatosplenomegaly in infancy and profound CNS involvement. They rarely survive beyond 2-3years of age. Type B patients also have hepatosplenomegaly and pathologic alterations of their lungs, but there are usually no CNS signs. The age of onset and rate of disease progression varies greatly among type B patients, and they frequently live into adulthood. Intermediate patients also have been reported with mild to moderate neurological findings.

Mendeliome v0.7004 PRIM1 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: - PMID: 33060134 (2020) - From a cohort of 220 families with microcephalic dwarfism spectrum disorders (OFC ≤−4 SD; height ≤−2 SD), three families (4 individuals) were identified with the same homozygous intronic variant (c.638+36C>G) in PRIM1. This variant was present in gnomAD in 2 individuals across all populations, but only in a heterozygous state. Haplotype analysis indicated that all three families share a distant common ancestor - i.e. confirmed founder variant.
Authors subsequently identified a single individual with compound heterozygous PRIM1 variants (c.103+1G>T, c.901T>C) from the DDD study, who also presented microcephaly and short stature (OFC ≤−3 SD; height ≤−3 SD).

Clinical overlap was evident in all 5 individuals, presenting extreme pre- and postnatal growth restriction, severe microcephaly (OFC −6.0 ± 1.5 SD) with simplified gyri appearance, hypothyroidism, hypo/agammaglobulinaemia, and lymphopaenia accompanied by intermittent anaemia/thrombocytopaenia. All had chronic respiratory symptoms, and four died in early childhood from respiratory or GI infections.

Functional studies demonstrated reduced PRIM1 protein levels, replication fork defects and prolonged S-phase duration in PRIM1-deficient cells. The resulting delay to the cell cycle and inability to sustain sufficient cell proliferation provides a likely mechanism for the presenting phenotype.

Sources: Literature; to: - PMID: 33060134 (2020) - From a cohort of 220 families with microcephalic dwarfism spectrum disorders (OFC ≤−4 SD; height ≤−2 SD), three families (4 individuals) were identified with the same homozygous intronic variant (c.638+36C>G) in PRIM1. This variant was present in gnomAD in 2 individuals across all populations, but only in a heterozygous state. Haplotype analysis indicated that all three families share a distant common ancestor - i.e. confirmed founder variant.
Authors subsequently identified a single individual with compound heterozygous PRIM1 variants (c.103+1G>T, c.901T>C) from the DDD study, who also presented microcephaly and short stature (OFC ≤−3 SD; height ≤−3 SD).

Clinical overlap was evident in all 5 individuals, presenting extreme pre- and postnatal growth restriction, severe microcephaly (OFC −6.0 ± 1.5 SD) with simplified gyri appearance, hypothyroidism, hypo/agammaglobulinemia, and lymphopenia accompanied by intermittent anaemia/thrombocytopaenia. All had chronic respiratory symptoms, and four died in early childhood from respiratory or GI infections.

Review for gene: MPEG1 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Immunodeficiency-77 (IMD77) is an immunologic disorder characterized by recurrent and persistent polymicrobial infections with multiple unusual organisms. Skin and pulmonary infections are the most common, consistent with increased susceptibility to epithelial cell infections. The age at onset is highly variable: some patients have recurrent infections from childhood, whereas others present in late adulthood. The limited number of reported patients are all female, suggesting incomplete penetrance or a possible sex-influenced trait. Patient cells, mainly macrophages, show impaired killing of intracellular bacteria and organisms, including nontubercular mycobacteria, although there is also impaired killing of other organisms, such as Pseudomonas, Candida, and Aspergillus.

Four individuals reported, functional data, including animal model.

Ceramide is a proapoptotic lipid as high levels of ceramides can lead to apoptosis of neuronal cells, including photoreceptors. Variants segregated with disease. TLCD3B showed high expression in the adult retina with higher expression in the macular than in the peripheral region. Tlcd3bKO/KO mice exhibited a significant reduction of the cone photoreceptor light responses, thinning of the outer nuclear layer, and loss of cone photoreceptors across the retina.

Added comment: Three cases in two unrelated consanguineous families with homozygous loss of function variants. Multiple null model organisms recapitulate the human phenotype: Null mouse model had cystic kidneys, a phenotype common to ciliopathies. Reducing Cby levels in Xenopus laevis model reduced the density of multiciliated cells, the number of basal bodies per multiciliated cell, and the numbers of neural tube primary cilia; it also led to abnormal development of the neural crest, central nervous system, and pronephros. Depletion of cby1 in zebrafish results in ciliopathy‐related phenotypes.

Added comment: 8 individuals from 6 unrelated families reported with bi-allelic LOF variants. All presented with almost complete absence of motor and cognitive development, progressive or congenital microcephaly, spastic tetraplegia or dystonia, and vision impairments. For most, the first symptoms included neonatal severe axial hypotonia and epilepsy that started during the first months or years of life. Prenatal symptoms of microcephaly associated with increased thalami echogenicity were detected in one, while the seven other individuals presented with progressive microcephaly. Some exhibited rapidly progressive phenotype and the affected children died in their infancy or middle-childhood. Strikingly, all the affected children had a unique brain MRI showing a mild to severe PCH, fluid-filled posterior fossa, with dilated lateral ventricles. In addition, severe atrophy at the level of the basal ganglia or thalami often associated with typical T2 hypersignal were identified in all the patients MRI.

Supportive functional data showing accumulation of highly phosphorylated inositols, mostly inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), detected in HEK293 cells, fibroblasts, iPSCs and differentiating neurons lacking MINPP1. In mutant cells, higher IP6 level is expected to be associated with an increased chelation of intracellular cations, such as iron or calcium, resulting in decreased levels of available ions.

Added comment: Not associated with a phenotype in OMIM.

PMID: 32969478 - Tian et al 2020 - performed Sanger sequencing of FKBP8 on DNA samples from 472 spina bifida (SB) affected fetuses and 565 unaffected controls. 5 different rare heterozygous variants (MAF ≤ 0.001) were identified among the SB patients, while no deleterious rare variants were identified in the controls. 4 of the variants are missense, the other is a stop-gain. 2 cases were in white-Hispanic patients while the other 3 were non-white Hispanic. Functional studies showed that p.Glu140* affected FKBP8 localization to the mitochondria and impaired its interaction with BCL2 ultimately leading to an increase in cellular apoptosis. p.Ser3Leu, p.Lys315Asn and p.Ala292Ser variants decreased FKBP8 protein level. Gene expression was studied in mouse Fkbp8-/- embryos and found to be abnormal. Previous mouse models have shown neural tube defects.

Sufficient cases to rate green, but only the FKBP8 gene looked at so perhaps some caution required while further evidence is gathered.

Marbach et al. (2020 - medRxiv : https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.09.10.20190314 - last author : C. Schaaf) report 6 unrelated individuals with heterozygous missense PRKAR1B variants.

All presented formal ASD diagnosis (6/6), global developmental delay (6/6) and intellectual disability (all - formal evaluations were lacking though). Additional features included neurologic anomalies (movement disorders : dyspraxia, apraxia, clumsiness in all, with tremor/dystonia or involuntary movements as single occurrences). Three displayed high pain tolerance. Regression in speech was a feature in two. Additional behavior anomalies included ADHD (4-5/6) or aggression (3/6). There was no consistent pattern of malformations, physical anomalies or facial features (with the exception of uplsanted palpebral fissures reported in 4).

3 different missense variants were identified (NM_00116470:c.1003C>T - p.Arg335Trp, c.586G>A - p.Glu196Lys, c.500_501delAAinsTT - p.Gln167Leu) with Arg355Trp being a recurrent one within this cohort (4/6 subjects). A possible splicing effect may apply for the MNV. All variants are absent from gnomAD and the SNVs had CADD scores > 24.

In all cases were parental samples were available (5/6), the variant had occurred as a de novo event.

Protein kinase A (PKA) is a tetrameric holoenzyme formed by the association of 2 catalytic (C) subunits with a regulatory (R) subunit dimer. Activation of PKA is achieved through binding of 2 cAMP molecules to each R-subunit, and unleashing(/dissociation) of C-subunits to engage substrates. PRKACA/B genes encode the Cα- and Cβ-subunits while the 4 functionally non-redundant regulatory subunits are encoded by PRKAR1A/1B/2A/2B genes. As the authors comment, the RIβ subunit is primarily expressed in brain with higher expression in cortex and hypothalamus.

The functional consequences of the variants at cellular level were not studied.

Previous studies have demonstrated that downregulation of RIβ in murine hippocampal cultures, reduced phosphorylation of CREB, a transcription factor involved in long-term memory formation. The authors speculate that a similar effect on cAMP/PKA/CREB cascade may mediate the cognitive effects in humans. RIβ deficient mice also display diminished nociceptive pain, similar to the human phenotype. [Several refs provided].

The authors cite the study by Kaplanis et al (2020 - PMID: 33057194), where in a large sample of 31,058 trio exomes of children with developmental disorders, PRKAR1B was among the genes with significant enrichment for de novo missense variants. [The gene has a pLI score of 0.18 in gnomAD / o/e = 0.26 - so pLoF variants may not be deleterious].

Please note that a specific PRKAR1B variant (NM_002735.2:c.149T>G - p.Leu50Arg) has been previous reported to segregate with a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by dementia and/or parkinsonism within a large pedigree with 12 affected individuals [Wong et al 2014 - PMID: 25414040].

Added comment: Sterling et al (2020 - PMID: 33073849) provide information on the phenotype of 3 individuals with de novo MPP5 variants.

Common features included global developmental delay, intellectual disability (3/3 - severe in 2/3), speech delay/regression (the latter in at least 2) and behavioral abnormalities. Variable other features were reported, among others microcephaly (1/3), abnormal vision (1/3 : CVI, retinal dystrophy, nystagmus), brain MRI abnormalities (2/3), late-onset seizures (1/3). These subjects displayed variable and non-specific dysmorphic features.

All were investigated by exome sequencing (previous investigations not mentioned).

One subject was found to harbor a de novo mosaic (5/25 reads) stopgain variant, further confirmed by Sanger sequencing [NM_022474.4:c.1555C>T - p.(Arg519Ter). The specific variant is reported once in gnomAD (1/251338). Two de novo missense variants were identified in the remaining individuals [c.1289A>G - p.Glu430Gly / c.974A>C - p.His325Pro). All variants had in silico predictions in favor of a deleterious effect (CADD score >24).

The authors comment that MPP5 encodes an apical complex protein with asymmetric localization to the apical side of polarized cells. It is expressed in brain, peripheral nervous system and other tissues. MPP5 is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase family of proteins (MAGUK p55 subfamily), determining cell polarity at tight junctions.

Previous animal models suggest that complete Mpp5(Pals1) KO in mice leads to near absence of cerebral cortical neurons. Htz KO display reduction in size of cerebral cortex and hippocampus. The gene is expressed in proliferating cell populations of cerebellum and important for establishment cerebellar architecture. Conditional KO of Mpp5(Pals1) in retinal progenitor cells mimics the retinal pathology observed in LCA. [Several refs. provided]

The authors studied a heterozygous CNS-specific Mpp5 KO mouse model. These mice presented microcephaly, decreased cerebellar volume and cortical thickness, decreased ependymal cells and Mpp5 at the apical surface of cortical vertrical zone. The proportion of cortical cells undergoing apoptotic cell death was increased. Mice displayed behavioral abnormalities (hyperactivity) and visual deficits, with ERG traces further suggesting retinal blindness.

Overall the mouse model was thought to recapitulate the behavioral abnormalities observed in affected subjects as well as individual rare features such as microcephaly and abnormal vision.

Haploinsufficiency (rather than a dominant negative effect) is favored as the underlying disease mechanism. This is also in line with a dose dependent effect observed in mice.

Gold et al (2020 - PMID: 33009664) report 5 individuals with CSNK1G1 variants, including updated information on a previously reported subject (Martin et al 2014 - PMID: 24463883).

Features included DD (5/5) with associated expressive language delay, ASD (in at least 3/5), seizures (2/5), dysmorphic facial features (4/5 arched eyebrows, 3/5 prominent central incisors, 2/5 epicanthus) and limb anomalies (2/5 - proximally placed thumb, 5th f. clinodactyly, asymmetric overgrowth - the other individual had tapering fingers). GI problems were observed in 4/5. Two individuals had macrocephaly and one had microcephaly. There was no formal developmental assessment although ID might be implied in at least 3 individuals (p1: 20y - single words/regression in walking following a seizure episode, p2: 8y - first words at 5y, assistance to feed, dress and bathe, ASD, p4: 13y - regression, assistance to feed and dress).

CSNK1G1 encodes the gamma-1 isoform of casein kinase 1, a protein involved in growth and cell morphogenesis. The gene has ubiquitous expression, incl. brain. As commented, in brain it regulates phosphorylation of NMDA receptors, playing a role in synaptic transmission (4 articles cited).

One individual had a 1.2 kb deletion spanning exon 3 of CSNK1G1 [chr15:64550952-64552120 - GRCh37]. Parental samples were unavailable for this individual. Four individuals were found to harbor de novo CSNK1G1 variants [NM_022048.3: c.688C>T - p.(Arg230Trp) dn | c.1255C>T - p.(Gln419*) dn | c.1214+5G>A dn with in silico predictions in favor of splice disruption | c.419C>T - p.(Thr140Met) dn].

Arg230Trp is however present once in gnomAD. The stopgain variant is located in the last exon and predicted to skip NMD.

There were no variant studies performed.

The Drosophila gish gene encodes a CK1γ homolog with preferential expression in the mushroom body. Heterozygous and homozygous mutants exhibit impairment in memory retention, more severe in homozygous flies. gish was also identified as a seizure modifier in a fly epilepsy model (heterozygous para mt flies).

Loss of function may not be the mechanism of disease, because loss of function variants appear to be exclusively associated with familial colorectal cancer without the DBA phenotype.

Mendeliome v0.4520 SLC12A2 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: SLC12A2: Added comment: Monoallelic :
DD/ID was a feature in >= 6 individuals with monoallelic de novo SLC12A2. An individual with an exon 22 truncating variant was reported to have normal milestones and cognitive function. Exon 21 variants have been described in individuals with rather isolated hearing impairment (possibly some associated motor delay, but normal cognition). Hearing impairment was also reported in 2/6 patients with variants in other exons (1 missense / 1 frameshift).

Biallelic :
DD/ID was reported in at least 3 individuals in literature. Hearing impairment has been reported on 2 occasions (although this was not probably evaluated in all subjects).

---

Monoallelic SLC12A2 mutations :

► Individuals with de novo mutations and developmental disorder were first identified by the DDD study (2017 - PMID: 28135719). 5 of them have been reported in detail by McNeill et al (below).

► McNeill et al (2020 - PMID: 32658972) report on 6 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorder due to de novo SLC12A2 mutation. All presented DD or ID ranging from mild to severe. ASD was reported in 3/6. Sensorineural hearing loss was a feature in 2/6 with the remaining having normal formal evaluations. Brain, cardiac and/or additional malformations were reported in a single individual. Following non-diagnostic prior work-up (CMA, FMR1 or other investigations) trio exome sequencing revealed missense (4/6) or truncating variants (2/6).

Three additional individuals (incl. a father and his son) with missense variants in exon 21 (NM_001046.3 / p.Glu979Lys and p.Glu980Lys) presented with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Speech and/or motor delay reported in these cases were attributed to the hearing impairment/vestibular arreflexia (cognitive abilities not tested).

SLC12A2 encodes sodium-potassium-chloride transporter 1 (also NKCC1).

The GTEx project has identified 8 isoforms. In brain both exon 21-containing/deleted isoforms are expressed (cited Morita et al 2014 - PMID: 24695712). As the authors discuss, RNA-seq of the developing mouse cochlea suggests that the exon 21 containing isoform is the single transcript expressed. Evidence from RNA-seq data (BrainSpan project) and literature suggests that the significant amounts of exon 21 lacking isoforms in fetal brain compensate for the deleterious effects of exon 21 variants and explain the lack of NDD in relevant patients.

Slc12a2 (NKCC1) null mouse model has demonstrated that the transporter plays a role in accumulation of the potassium rich endolymph in the inner ear, with NKCC1 absence causing sensorineural deafness and imbalance. Slc12a2 display cochlear malformations, loss of hair cells and hearing impairment (cited Delpire et al 1999 - PMID: 10369265). The brain phenotype has not been studied extensively, although loss of Slc12a2 has been shown to inhibit neurogenesis (cited: Magalhães and Rivera et al. - PMID: 27582690).

Slc12a2 null zebrafish display a collapse of the otic vesicle and reduced endolymph (Abbas and Whitfield, 2009 - PMID: 19633174) relevant to the human hearing disorder.

In vitro assessment of NKCC1 ion transporter function in Xenopus laevis, supported the deleterious effect of the identified variants (significant reduction in K+ influx). Using available single cell RNA-seq data the authors further demonstrated that SLC12A2 expressing cells display transcriptomic profiles reflective of active neurogenesis.

► Delpire et al (2016 - PMID: 27900370 - not reviewed in detail) described a 13 y.o. girl harboring a de novo 11-bp deletion in SLC12A2 exon 22. This individual reached developmental milestones on time and had a NORMAL cognitive function. Hearing was seemingly normal. Features included orthostatic intolerance, respiratory weakness, multiple endocrine abnormalities, pancreatic insufficiency and multiorgan failure incl. gut and bladder. Exome in the proband, parents and 3 unaffected sibs suggested SLC12A2 as the only candidate for her phenotype. Functional analyses in Xenopus laevis oocytes suggested that a non functional transporter was expressed and trafficked to the membrane as the wt. Detection of the truncated protein at higher molecular sizes suggested either enhanced dimerization or misfolded aggregate. There was no dominant-negative effect of mutant NKCC1. In patient fibroblasts a reduced total and NKCC1-mediated K+ influx.

► Mutai et al (2020 - PMID: 32294086) report on several individuals from 4 families, harboring variants within exon 21 or - in one case - at it's 3' splice-site (leading to skipping oe this exon at the mRNA level). All subjects were investigated for severe/profound hearing loss (in line with the role of exon 21-included isoforms in cochlea. The variant segregated with hearing impairment in 3 generations of a family while in all other subjects the variant had occured as de novo event. Despite motor delays (e.g. the subject from fam2 could not hold head or sit at the age of 10m / the proband in Fam3 was able to hold his head and walk at 6 and 20 m respectively) behavior and cognition were commented to be within normal range.

Biallelic SLC12A2 mutations:

► Anazi et al (2017 - PMID: 29288388) briefly reported on a 3 y.o. boy (17DG0776) with central hypotonia, neonatal respiratory distress, failure to thrive, global DD and microcephaly and a skeletal survey suggestive of osteopenia. After non-diagnostic prior investigations (CMA revealing a 1p duplication classified as VUS, extensive metabolic workup), WES revealed a homozygous SLC12A2 splicing variant [NM_001046.2:c.2617-2A>G].

► Macnamara et al (2019 - PMID: 30740830) described a 5.5 y.o. male with sensorineural hearing loss, profound delays in all developmental areas among several other features (choanal atresia, failure to thrive, respiratory problems, absent sweat and tear production or salivation, GI abnormalities). Genetic testing for several disorders considered (cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, sequencing and del/dup analysis of mtDNA) was normal. CMA revealed paternal uniparental isodisomy for chr. 5 and WGS a homozygous 22kb deletion in SLC12A2. This was followed by confirmation of homozygosity in the proband, heterozygosity of the unaffected father, delineation of breakpoints (chr5:127441491-127471419). mRNA studies in patient fibroblasts confirmed deletion of ex2-7, splicing of ex1 directly to ex8 and introduction of a premature stop codon in ex9. qRT-PCR confirmed that mRNA is likely subjected to NMD (expression ~80% of control). Western blot confirmed absence of the protein in the patient's fibroblasts. Again mouse models are thought to recapitulate the hearing defect but also the deficient saliva production (cited Evans et al 2000 - PMID: 10831596). Again the authors speculate a role of SLC12A2 in brain development based on evidence from murine models (migration, dendritic growth, increse in neuron density through regulation of GABAergic signalling (Young et al 2012 - PMID: 23015452). Hypotheses are also made on a regulatory relationship between NKCC1 and CFTR based on mRNA data from the ko mouse model.

► Stödberg et al (2020 - PMID: 32754646) reported 2 sibs with a complex neurodevelopmental disorder due to compound heterozygosity for a frameshift SLC12A2 variant and a splicing one (NM_001046:c.1431delT and c.2006-1G>A). Both presented hypotonia, neonatal S. aureus parotitis and respiratory problems (incl. apneas). While the older sib died at the age of 22 days, the younger one had persistent respiratory issues incl. a dry respiratory mucosa motivating metabolic, immunology investigations and testing for CF. She displayed microcephaly (OFC -2.5 SD, H was also -3.5SD), severe intellectual disability. MRI was suggestive of white matter and basal ganglia abnormalities. Other features incl. hearing impairment, and lack of tears,saliva and sweat, constipation and intestinal malrotation. There was facial dysmorphism. The variants were the only retained following WGS of the 2 affected sisters, parents and an unaffected brother. The splicing variant was shown to result in skipping of exon 13, while the indel in NMD. Again the authors discuss that the deficient saliva production, impaired hearing and GI problems are recapitulated in the mouse model (several refs provided).; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed publications: 28135719, 32658972, 27900370, 32294086, 29288388, 30740830, 32754646; Changed phenotypes: Kilquist syndrome, deafness, intellectual disability, dysmorphic features, absent salivation, ectodermal dysplasia, constipation, intestinal malrotation, multiple congenital anomalies; Changed mode of inheritance: BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal

Added comment: Seven individuals from 5 unrelated families reported with severe progeroid form of MAD with growth retardation, small viscerocranium with mandibular underdevelopment, distal acro-osteolyses, lipodystrophy, altered skin pigmentation, renal focal glomerulosclerosis, and extremely severe hypertension in most cases, eventually associated with disseminated arterial calcification. Loss of MTX2 in patients' primary fibroblasts led to loss of Metaxin-1 (MTX1) and mitochondrial dysfunction, including network fragmentation and oxidative phosphorylation impairment. Furthermore, patients' fibroblasts were resistant to induced apoptosis, leading to increased cell senescence and mitophagy and reduced proliferation.

Mendeliome v0.4398 SVBP Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: 5 unrelated families with homozygous mutations in SVBP. The mutations segregated with the disorder in all families. In vitro functional cellular expression studies showed that protein levels of the SVBP mutants were barely detectable, suggesting instability, and that the mutant proteins had lost VASH/SVBP catalytic detyrosination activity toward tubulin. Knockdown of about 50% Svbp expression using shRNA in rat hippocampal neurons impaired the formation of excitatory synapses compared to controls.

Mendeliome v0.4275 EXOSC5 Arina Puzriakova changed review comment from: - PMID: 32504085 (2020) - Five patients from four families with biallelic variants in EXCOSC5. Clinical features included short stature (3/5), developmental delays that affect motor skills (3/5), hypotonia (4/5), ataxia (3/4), cerebellar hypoplasia/atrophy (4/5). Cognitive function was generally preserved, but included mild speech delays in one patient.
Cerebellar ataxia was described in two sibs and one singleton - all of whom were compound heterozygous for the p.Thr114Ile variant, inherited in trans with a frameshift variant (p.His30Thrfs*35) or deletion involving exons 5–6 of EXOSC5, respectively.

A LoF zebrafish model resulted in a variety of morphological defects including shortened and curved tails/bodies, reduced eye/head size and oedema. Functional studies of the variants in budding yeast and cultured cells showed some defects in RNA exosome function and interactions, that could not be explained by decrease in the steady-state level of EXOSC5.

Added comment: PMID 29868776: 8 affected individuals from 4 families reported. 7 were described to be postnatally microcephalic (at or below 3rd percentile). One was -5.1SD and one was -3.6SD. SD values for the others weren't provided.

The following head circumference measurements were provided for 6 of the affecteds:

51cm at 16yo; 50cm at 19yo; 42.5cm at 12mo, 45cm at 28mo, 45.2cm at 7yo; 45cm at 4yo.

3 of the families were consanguineous Saudi families with the same homozygous missense variant.

In vitro functional expression studies showed that both mutations caused impaired thioester binding with UFM1. Patient cells also showed decreased UFC1 intermediate formation with UFM1. The decrease in function was consistent with a hypomorphic allele, and the authors suggested that complete loss of function would be embryonic lethal.

Mendeliome v0.4091 TRPM7 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: TRPM7: PMID: 31423533 - Cartwright et al 2020 - functional studies on four heterozygous nonsynonymous variants that were observed in TRPM7 in four individual cases of unexplained still birth which were screened for variants in 35 candidate genes in PMID: 29874177 (Munroe et al 2018). TRPM7 is a ubiquitously expressed ion channel known to regulate cardiac development and repolarization in mice. They found two variants in TRPM7, p.G179V and p.T860M, reduce ion channel current expression, which in the case of p.T860M is likely due to rapid degradation mediated by the proteasome. In addition, the p.R494Q TRPM7 variant significantly increases TRPM7 ion channel current, in a cell-type specific manner. They believe that TRPM7 may play a key role in ensuring correct cardiac development of the fetus.

Publications for gene: FAM50A were set to 32703943
Phenotypes for gene: FAM50A were set to Mental retardation syndrome, X-linked, Armfield type (MIM #300261)
Review for gene: FAM50A was set to GREEN
Added comment: Lee et al (2020 - PMID: 32703943) provide evidence that Armfield X-Linked intellectual disability syndrome is caused by monoallelic FAM50A pathogenic variants. The current review is based only on this reference. The authors provide clinical details on 6 affected individuals from 5 families. Features included postnatal growth delay, DD and ID (6/6 - also evident for those without formal IQ assesment), seizures (3/6 from 2 families), prominent forehead with presence of other facial features and variable head circumference (5th to >97th %le), ocular anomalies (5/6 - strabismus/nystagmus/Axenfeld-Rieger), cardiac (3/6 - ASD/Fallot) and genitourinary anomalies (3/6). In the first of these families (Armfield et al 1999 - PMID: 10398235), linkage analysis followed by additional studies (Sanger, NGS of 718 genes on chrX, X-exome NGS - several refs provided) allowed the identification of a FAM50A variant. Variants in other families were identified by singleton (1 fam) or trio-ES (3 fam). In affected individuals from 3 families, the variant had occurred de novo. Carrier females in the other families were unaffected (based on pedigrees and/or the original publication). XCI was rather biased in most obligate carrier females from the 1st family (although this ranged from 95:5 to 60:40). Missense variants were reported in all affected subjects incl. Trp206Gly, Asp255Gly, Asp255Asn (dn), Glu254Gly (dn), Arg273Trp (dn) (NM_004699.3). Previous studies have demonstrated that FAM50A has ubiquitous expression in human fetal and adult tissues (incl. brain in fetal ones). Immunostaining suggests a nuclear localization for the protein (NIH/3T3 cells). Comparison of protein levels in LCLs from affected males and controls did not demonstrate significant differences. Protein localization for 3 variants (transfection of COS-7 cells) was shown to be similar to wt. Complementation studies in zebrafish provided evidence that the identified variants confer partial loss of function (rescue of the morpholino phenotype with co-injection of wt but not mt mRNA). The zebrafish ko model seemed to recapitulate the abnormal development of cephalic structures and was indicative of diminished/defective neurogenesis. Transcriptional dysregulation was demonstrated in zebrafish (altered levels and mis-splicing). Upregulation of spliceosome effectors was demonstrated in ko zebrafish. Similarly, mRNA expression and splicing defects were demonstrated in LCLs from affected individuals. FAM50A pulldown followed by mass spectrometry in transfected HEK293T cells demonstrated enrichment of binding proteins involved in RNA processing and co-immunoprecipitation assays (transfected U-87 cells) suggested that FAM50A interacts with spliceosome U5 and C-complex proteins. Overall aberrant spliceosome C-complex function is suggested as the underlying pathogenetic mechanism. Several other neurodevelopmental syndromes are caused by variants in genes encoding C-complex affiliated proteins (incl. EFTUD2, EIF4A3, THOC2, etc.).

Review for gene: TBC1D2B was set to GREEN
Added comment: Harms et al (2020 - PMID: 32623794) report on 3 unrelated individuals with biallelic pLoF TBC1D2B variants. Features included cognitive impairment (mild ID in one case, regression at the age of 12y in another, hypotonia and delayed milestones in a third aged 8m), seizures (3/3 - variable age of onset) and/or gingival overgrowth (2/3 - prior to initiation of AEDs). Other findings included behavioral abnormalities, mandibular anomalies, abnormal brain imaging and ophthalmologic or (rarely) audiometric evaluations. All were born to non-consanguineous couples and additional investigations were performed in some. Variants were identified by WES or trio WGS, with Sanger confirmation/compatible segregation analyses. 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: EXOC2 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Van Bergen et al (2020 - PMID: 32639540) report on 3 individuals from 2 families, harboring biallelic EXOC2 mutations. Clinical presentation included DD, ID (severe in 2 subjects from fam1, borderline intellectual functioning in fam2), dysmorphic features and brain abnormalities. Cerebellar anomalies were common to all with a molar tooth sign observed in one (1/3). Other findings limited to subjects from one family included acquired microcephaly, congenital contractures, spastic quadriplegia (each observed 2/3). Previous investigations were in all cases non-diagnostic. WES identified biallelic EXOC2 mutations in all affected individuals. EXOC2 encodes an exocyst subunit. The latter is an octameric complex, component of the membrane transport machinery, required for tethering and fusion of vesicles at the plasma membrane. As discussed ,vesicle transport is important for the development of brain and the function of neurons and glia. Exocyst function is also important for delivery of Arl13b to the primary cilium (biallelic ARL13B mutations cause Joubert syndrome 8) and ciliogenesis. Affected subjects from a broader consanguineous family (fam1) were homozygous for a truncating variant. Fibroblast studies revealed mRNA levels compatible with NMD (further restored in presence of CHX) as well as reduced protein levels. The female belonging to the second non-consanguineous family was found to harbor 2 missense variants in trans configuration. An exocytosis defect was demonstrated in fibroblasts from individuals belonging to both families. Ciliogenesis appeared to be normal, however Arl13b localization/recruitment to the cilia was reduced compared with control cells with the defect rescued upon exogenous expression of wt EXOC2. Mutations in other genes encoding components of the exocyst complex have been previously reported in individuals with relevant phenotypes (e.g. EXOC8 in a boy with features of Joubert s. or EXOC4 in nephrotic syndrome). The authors discuss on the essential role of EXOC2 based on model organism studies (e.g. impaired neuronal membrane traffic, failure of neuronal polarization and neuromuscular junction expansion seen in Drosophila Sec5 (EXOC2) null mutants).

Added comment: 4 families with 8 affected individuals with brain atrophy, seizures, and developmental delay, and in more severe cases microcephaly and infantile death. Four novel homozygous or comp.heterozygous variants found in EXOC7, which segregated with disease in the families. They showed that EXOC7, a member of the mammalian exocyst complex, is highly expressed in developing human cortex. In addition, a zebrafish model of Exoc7 deficiency recapitulates the human disorder with increased apoptosis and decreased progenitor cells during telencephalon development, suggesting that the brain atrophy in human cases reflects neuronal degeneration.

Added comment: One extended multiplex consanguineous family with Erythrokeratoderma (striking similarity to that observed in Perp −/− mice), and a novel homozygous variant (c.466G>A; p.Gly156Arg) in PERP that fully segregated with the phenotype. Functional analysis of patient‐ and control‐derived keratinocytes revealed a deleterious effect of the identified variant on the intracellular localization of PERP. A previous report showed that PERP mutation causes a dominant form of keratoderma but a single patient in that report with a homozygous variant in PERP suggests that recessive inheritance is also possible.

Added comment: One patient with severe global developmental delay, language impairment and epileptic encephalopathy. Homozygous OTUD7A missense variant (c.697C>T, p.Leu233Phe), predicted to alter an ultraconserved amino acid, lying within the OTU catalytic domain. Its subsequent segregation analysis revealed that the parents, presenting with learning disability, and brother were heterozygous carriers. Biochemical assays demonstrated that proteasome complex formation and function were significantly reduced in patient‐derived fibroblasts and in OTUD7A knockout HAP1 cell line. Gene lies in the chromosome 15q13.3 region. Heterozygous microdeletions of chromosome 15q13.3 show incomplete penetrance and are associated with a highly variable phenotype that may include intellectual disability, epilepsy, facial dysmorphism and digit anomalies.

Added comment: Homozygous and compound heterozygous variants (missense, nonsense and frameshift) found in 8 Japanese patients from unrelated families with unexplained galactosaemia. (No variants in GALT, GALK1, and GALE). This is therefore type IV galactosaemia.
In vitro expression analysis and enzyme activity assay of the patients’ peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed total lack of or compromised expression of GALM protein. Loss-of-function mechanism. One homozygote for one of these variants p.(Gly142Arg) in gnomAD (African population). (Wada, Y. et al 2019; PMID: 30451973)
In vitro expression assay and an enzyme activity assay of 67 GALM variants, taken from ExAc database (missense, nonsense, frameshift and splice). 30 variants concluded to be pathogenic due to no protein expression or faint expression. 5 variants with mildly lower levels were determined as likely pathogenic. All concluded to be loss-of-function mechanism. Incidence of galactosaemia by GALM deficiency is comparable to that of other galactosaemias.

Phenotypes for gene: TDP2 were set to Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 23; OMIM #616949
Review for gene: TDP2 was set to GREEN
Added comment: ID is part of the phenotype: 4 families with 6 affected patients, with functional evidence.

1 family with 3 affected sibs with homozygous splice site mutation in the TDP2 gene. Patient cell extracts showed absence of the full-length TDP2 protein and absence of 5-prime TDP activity, consistent with a loss of function, although 3-prime TDP activity, conferred by TDP1, was normal. In addition, patient lymphoblastoid cells were hypersensitive to the TOP2 poison etoposide. The findings indicated impaired capacity for double-strand break repair.

1 unrelated Egyptian patient with a similar disorder was homozygous for a truncating mutation in the TDP2 gene

1 unrelated Caucasian patient with same homozygous splice site mutation in the TDP2 gene. Western blot analysis did not detect TDP2 protein in patient primary skin fibroblasts. Patient fibroblasts showed an inability to rapidly repair topoisomerase-induced DNA double-strand breaks in the nucleus and also showed a profound hypersensitivity to this type of DNA damage. Complementation of patient cells with recombinant human TDP2 restored normal rates of nuclear DSB repair.

Mendeliome v0.785 SLC35A3 Zornitza Stark Added comment: Comment when marking as ready: 1 family with 2 sibs, with segregation but no functional studies.

1 family with 8 affected people. The mutations segregated with the disorder in the family. Patient cells showed no normal transcript, indicating that they had no functional SLC35A3 protein. Golgi vesicles derived from patient fibroblasts showed significantly reduced transport of UDP-GlCNAc compared to controls.

Phenotypes for gene: SLC9A7 were set to Intellectual developmental disorder, X-linked 108; OMIM #301024
Review for gene: SLC9A7 was set to AMBER
Added comment: 6 males from 2 unrelated families with hemizygous missense mutation in the SLC9A7 gene. The mutation segregated with the disorder in the family. In vitro functional expression studies in CHO cells (AP-1 cells) showed that the mutation caused decreased levels of protein expression and reduced oligosaccharide maturation/glycosylation compared to wildtype, indicating impaired posttranslational processing. Subcellular localization studies indicated that protein trafficking was unaffected by the mutation. However, examination of the trans-Golgi compartment suggested a gain-of-function effect and a perturbation of glycosylation of secretory cargo. Serum transferrin studies in 1 patient suggested a glycosylation defect.

12 patients from 6 unrelated Chinese families reported by Yao et al. (2018) and homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the MYORG gene. Functional studies of the variants and studies of patient cells were not performed, but the presence of nonsense mutations suggested a loss of function.

1 Chinese woman identified with homozygous nonsense mutation in the MYORG gene, segregated with the disorder in the family. Functional studies of the variant and studies of patient cells were not performed.

2 unrelated Middle Eastern families with homozygous mutations in the MYORG gene, which segregated with the disorder in the families. Functional studies of the variants were not performed.

4 sibs from one Turkish family with homozygous missense mutation in the MYORG gene, which segregated with the disorder in the family. Functional studies of the variant and studies of patient cells were not performed.

Review for gene: TANC2 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 19 families with potentially disruptive heterozygous TANC2 variants, including 16 likely gene-disrupting mutations and three intragenic microdeletions. Patients presented with autism, intellectual disability, delayed language and motor development, epilepsy, facial dysmorphism, with complex psychiatric dysfunction or behavioral problems in adult probands or carrier parents. No functional evidence of specific variants, but they show TANC2 is expressed broadly in the human developing brain, especially in excitatory neurons and glial cells, and shows a more restricted pattern in Drosophila glial cells where its disruption affects behavioral outcomes.

Phenotypes for gene: SVBP were set to Neurodevelopmental disorder with ataxia, hypotonia, and microcephaly; OMIM #618569
Review for gene: SVBP was set to GREEN
Added comment: 5 unrelated families with homozygous mutations in SVBP. The mutations segregated with the disorder in all families. In vitro functional cellular expression studies showed that protein levels of the SVBP mutants were barely detectable, suggesting instability, and that the mutant proteins had lost VASH/SVBP catalytic detyrosination activity toward tubulin. Knockdown of about 50% Svbp expression using shRNA in rat hippocampal neurons impaired the formation of excitatory synapses compared to controls.

Mendeliome v0.308 PISD Zornitza Stark commented on gene: PISD: 4 individuals in 2 unrelated but consanguineous families from Portugal and Brazil affected by early-onset retinal degeneration, sensorineural hearing loss, microcephaly, intellectual disability, and skeletal dysplasia with scoliosis and short stature (Liberfarb syndrome). Affected individuals shared a homozygous 10-bp deletion immediately upstream of the last exon of the PISD gene. In HEK293T cells, this variant led to aberrant splicing of PISD transcripts. 1 family with 2 sisters with congenital cataracts, short stature, and white matter changes identified compound heterozygous variants in the PISD gene. Decreased conversion of phosphatidylserine to PE in patient fibroblasts is consistent with impaired phosphatidylserine decarboxylase (PISD) enzyme activity.

Review for gene: PIGB was set to GREEN
Added comment: 10 unrelated families with biallelic mutations in PIGB, with global DD and/or ID, and seizures. Two had polymicrogyria, 4 had a peripheral neuropathy, and 2 had a clinical diagnosis of DOORS syndrome. Patient lymphocytes and fibroblasts showed variably decreased levels of cell surface GPI-anchored proteins, including CD16 and CD59. In vitro functional expression studies performed with some of the mutations in PIGB-null CHO cells showed that the mutant proteins were unable to fully restore expression of GPI-anchored surface proteins, consistent with a loss of function, although the mutations had variable effects.

Review for gene: PHF21A was set to GREEN
Added comment: 9 cases with intellectual disability and craniofacial anomalies (Potocki-Shaffer syndrome), with de novo truncating variants in PHF21A. No functional evidence of variants, but PHF21A is highly expressed in the human fetal brain, which is consistent with the neurodevelopmental phenotype.

2 other unrelated individuals with translocations disrupting PHF21A. Lymphoblastoid cell lines from translocation subjects showed derepression of the neuronal gene SCN3A and reduced LSD1 occupancy at the SCN3A promoter, supporting a direct functional consequence of PHF21A haploinsufficiency on transcriptional regulation.

Added comment: 6 unrelated patients with mega-corpus-callosum syndrome with cerebellar hypoplasia and cortical malformations (MCCCHCM) with de novo heterozygous mutations in MAST1 gene. In vitro functional studies showed that 1 of the variants (lys276del) increased MAST1 binding to microtubules compared to controls. Mutant mice heterozygous for a Mast1 leu278del allele showed a thicker corpus callosum compared to wildtype, and an overall reduction in cortical volume and thickness and decreased cerebellar volume and number of granule and Purkinje cells due to increased apoptosis compared to controls.

1 Emirati patient with ID, microcephaly, and dysmorphic features, with missense variant in MAST1.

Review for gene: GABRA5 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 3 unrelated patients with de novo heterozygous missense mutations in GABRA5 gene. In vitro functional expression studies in HEK293 cells showed that the mutant subunit was expressed at the surface and incorporated into the channel, but the mutant channel was 10 times more sensitive to GABA compared to wildtype. This increased sensitization resulted in increased receptor desensitization to GABA, with a reduced maximal GABA-evoked current and impaired capacity to pass GABAergic chloride current.
