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. 11/15 individuals (info available) had dystonia (onset in childhood).

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.
