Genetic Epilepsy v0.1148 SYNCRIP Konstantinos Varvagiannis gene: SYNCRIP was added
gene: SYNCRIP was added to Genetic Epilepsy. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: SYNCRIP was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, imprinted status unknown
Publications for gene: SYNCRIP were set to 34157790; 30504930; 27479843; 23020937
Phenotypes for gene: SYNCRIP were set to Global developmental delay; Intellectual disability; Autism; Myoclonic atonic seizures; Abnormality of nervous system morphology
Review for gene: SYNCRIP was set to AMBER
Added comment: Semino et al (2021 - PMID: 34157790) provide clinical details on 3 unrelated individuals with de novo SYNCRIP variants and provide a review of 5 additional subjects previously identified within large cohorts in the literature and databases.

Features included DD, ID (7/7 for whom this information was available), ASD or autistic features (4/7). MRI abnormalities were observed in 3 (widening of CSF spaces, periventricular nodular heterotopia, prominent lat. ventricles). Epilepsy (myoclonic-astatic epilepsy / Doose syndrome) was reported for 2(/8) individuals.

The 3 patients here reported were identified following trio/singleton exome with Sanger confirmation of the variants and their de novo occurrence.

Variants are in almost all cases de novo (7/7 for whom this was known) and in 5/8 cases were pLoF, in 2/8 missense SNVs while a case from DECIPHER had a 77.92 kb whole gene deletion not involving other genes with unknown inheritance.

Overall the variants reported to date include [NM_006372.5]:
1 - c.858_859del p.(Gly287Leufs*5)
2 - c.854dupA p.(Asn285Lysfs*8)
3 - c.734T>C p.(Leu245Pro)
4 - chr6:85605276-85683190 deletion (GRCh38)
5 - c.629T>C p.(Phe210Ser)
6 - c.1573_1574delinsTT p.(Gln525Leu)
7 - c.1247_1250del p.(Arg416Lysfs*145)
8 - c.1518_1519insC p.(Ala507Argfs*14)

SYNCRIP (also known as HNRNPQ) encodes synaptotagmin‐binding cytoplasmic RNA‐interacting protein. As the authors note, this RNA-binding protein is involved in multiple pathways associated with neuronal/muscular developmental disorders. Several references are provided for its involvement in regulation of RNA metabolism, among others sequence recognition, pre-mRNA splicing, translation, transport and degradation.

Mutations in other RNA-interacting proteins and hnRNP members (e.g. HNRNPU, HNRNPD) are associated with NDD.

The missense variant (p.Leu245Pro) is within RRM2 one of the 3 RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains of the protein. These 3 domains, corresponding to the central part of the protein (aa 150-400), are relatively intolerant to variation (based on in silico predictions and/or variation in gnomAD). Leu245 localizes within an RNA binding pocket and in silico modeling suggests alteration of the tertiary structure and RNA-binding capacity of RRM2.

There are no additional studies performed.

Overall haploinsufficiency appears to be the underlying disease mechanism based on the truncating variants and the gene deletion. [pLI in gnomAD : 1, %HI : 2.48%]

Animal models are not discussed.

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM. This gene is included in the DD panel of G2P (monoallelic LoF variants / SYNCRIP-related developmental disorder). SysID also lists SYNCRIP within the current primary ID genes.
