gene: ATXN7L3 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: This study reports 9 unrelated individuals with de novo heterozygous variants in ATXN7L3 identified through WES testing and GeneMatcher. Core clinical features included: global motor and language developmental delay, hypotonia, and dysmorphic features (hypertelorism, epicanthal folds, blepharoptosis, small nose, small mouth, and low-set posteriorly rotated ears). Variable features included: feeding difficulties, seizures, mild periventricular leukomalacia, and structural cardiac abnormalities.

A recurrent nonsense variant [p.(Arg114Ter)] was found in 5/9 individuals. The other variants were 1 frameshift [p.(Ser112LysfsTer12)] and 3 missense variants [p.(Ile71Thr), p.(Ser92Arg), and p.(Leu106Pro)]. They investigated the effects of the recurrent nonsense variant [p.(Arg114Ter)] in fibroblasts of an affected individual. ATXN7L3 protein levels were reduced, and deubiquitylation was impaired (as indicated by an increase in histone H2Bub1 levels). This is consistent with the previous observation of increased H2Bub1 levels in Atxn7l3-null mouse embryos, which have developmental delay and embryonic lethality.

Pathogenic variants in deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) have been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders (ND) and congenital abnormalities. ATXN7L3 is a component of the DUB module of the SAGA complex, and two other related DUB modules, and serves as an obligate adaptor protein of 3 ubiquitin-specific proteases (USP22, USP27X or USP51).

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.

“Not a complete loss-of-function variant”.

Intellectual disability syndromic and non-syndromic v0.3786 UFSP2 Konstantinos Varvagiannis changed review comment from: Ni et al (2021 - PMID: 33473208) describe the phenotype of 8 children (belonging to 4 families - 2 of which consanguineous) homozygous for a UFSP2 missense variant [NM_018359.5:c.344T>A; p.(Val115Glu)].

Members of a broader consanguineous pedigree from Pakistan with 3 affected children with epilepsy and DD and ID underwent exome sequencing. All affected individuals were homozygous for the specific SNV with their parents (2 parent pairs, in both cases first cousins) being heterozygous. An unaffected sib was homozygous for the wt allele. Through genematching platforms 3 additional families with similarly affected individuals and homozygosity for the same variant were recruited. These additional families were from Pakistan (1/3) and Afganistan (2/3).

Based on ROH analysis from the broader first pedigree and an additional family the authors concluded on a single shared region of homozygosity on chr 4q. Lack of ES data did not allow verification of whether 2/4 families shared the same haplotype with the other 2.

The authors calculated the probability of the genotype-phenotype cosegragation occurring by chance (0.009) and this was lower than the recommended criterion (0.06) for strong evidence of pathogenicity.

Shared features included abnormal tone in most (hypotonia 6/8, limb hypertonia 1/8), seizures (8/8 - onset 2d - 7m), severe DD with speech delay/absent speech (8/8), ID (8/8), strabismus (6/8).

UFSP2 encodes UFM1-specific protease 2 involved in UFmylation, a post-translational protein modification. As summarized by the authors the cysteine protease encoded by this gene (as is also the case for UFSP1) cleaves UFM1 in the initial step of UFMylation. Apart from producing mature UFM1, the 2 proteases have also the ability to release UFM1 from UFMylated proteins, in the process of de-UFMylation. [several refs. provided]

UFMylation is important in brain development with mutations in genes encoding other components of the pathway reported in other NDD disorders (incl. UFM1, UBA5, UFC1).

Additional studies were carried to provide evidence for pathogenicity of this variant.

Skin biopsies from 3 individuals were carried out to establish fibroblast cultures. Immunoblotting revealed reduced UFSP2 levels relative to controls. mRNA levels measured by qRT-PCR revealed no differences compared to controls altogether suggesting normal mRNA but reduced protein stability.

The authors demonstrated increased levels of UFM1-conjugated proteins (incl. DDRGK1, or TRIP4). Ectopic expression of wt UFSP2 normalized the levels of UFMylated proteins in the fibroblasts which was not the case for the V115E variant. Further the variant was difficult to detect by immunoblotting consistent with an effect on protein destabilization.

Although disruption of UFMylation induces ER stress, this was not shown to occur in patient fibroblast lines, when assessed for ER stress markers.

Evaluation of data from the GTEx project, concerning UFSP2 as well as well as DDRGK1 or TRIP4 - an UFMylation target - revealed relevant expression in multiple regions of the human brain.

Overall the authors provide evidence for defective de-UFMylation in patient fibroblasts (presence of increased UFMylation marks). The authors stress out that the effect of the variant in UFMylation in brain is unknown, as UFSP1 or other enzymes might compensate in the presence of hypomorphic UFSP2 mutants.

Biallelic UFSP2 variants have previously been reported in 2 skeletal dysplasias [# 142669. BEUKES HIP DYSPLASIA; BHD and # 617974. SPONDYLOEPIMETAPHYSEAL DYSPLASIA, DI ROCCO TYPE; SEMDDR]. These disorders are not characterized by neurological dysfunction or epilepsy. The authors underscore the fact that variants identified in these disorders (Y290H, D526A, H428R) localize within the C-terminal catalytic (peptidase) domain [aa 278 – 461] while the variant here identified lies in the N-terminal substrate binding domain affecting protein stability/abundance.

In OMIM, only the 2 aforementioned disorders are currently associated with biallelic UFSP2 mutations. There is no associated phenotype in G2P. SysID includes UFSP2 among the primary ID genes.

Martin et al (2020 - PMID:32934225) report on 8 individuals from 6 families with a juvenile neuromuscular disease due to biallelic NEMF variants. (In one of these 8 cases it could not be ruled out that a de novo and maternally inherited variant were on the same allele, as phase was not determined). A ninth individual with similar presentation was found to harbor a single NEMF missense SNV as de novo event (due to a speculated dominant-negative effect). This individual had a similar presentation.

Features incl. hypotonia (4/8 with biallelic variant (B) | 1/1 monoallelic (M) ), DD/ID (7/8B | 0/1M) with speech delay as universal feature (8/8B | 1/1M), axonal neuropathy (3/3B | 1/1M), ataxia (3/8B | 0/1M). Other findings included tremor (1/7B | 1/1M), abnormal brain imaging (2/6B / ?/1M), kyphosis/scoliosis (4/8B | 0/1M), respiratory distress (1/8B | 0/1M).

NEMF (Rqc2 in yeast) encodes the nuclear export mediator factor, a component of the Ribosome-associated Quality Control (RCQ) complex which is involved in proteolytic targeting of incomplete polypeptides prodduced by ribosome stalling. NEMF facilitates the recruitment of E3 ligase Listerin (LTN1) which ubiquitinates nascent polypeptide chains for subsequent proteasomal degradation.

The author provide evidence that mice homozygous for Nemf missense mutations display progressive motor phenotypes, exhibit neurogenic atrophy and progressive axonal degeneration. A further NEMF-null mouse model displayed more severe phenotype (with heterozygous mice being unaffected).

Equivalent mutations (of those in the above mouse model) in yeast (Rqc2) were shown to interfere with its ability to modify aberrant translation products with C-terminal tails which assist RQC-mediated protein degradation.

Mutation of Ltn1 (belonging to the same protein control pathway) has been also shown to lead to neurodegeneration im mice.

Overall NEMF is thought to play a role in neuronal translational homeostasis and the disorder to be mediated by dysfunction of the RQC pathway (normally protecting neurons against degeneration).; to: Biallelic (and possibly monoallelic) pathogenic variants in this gene are associated with DD/ID.

Equivalent mutations (of those in the above mouse model) in yeast (Rqc2) were shown to interfere with its ability to modify aberrant translation products with C-terminal tails which assist RQC-mediated protein degradation.

Mutation of Ltn1 (belonging to the same protein control pathway) has been also shown to lead to neurodegeneration im mice.

Overall NEMF is thought to play a role in neuronal translational homeostasis and the disorder to be mediated by dysfunction of the RQC pathway (normally protecting neurons against degeneration).; to: Biallelic (and possibly monoallelic) pathogenic variants in this gene are associated with DD/ID.

Martin et al (2020 - PMID:32934225) report on 8 individuals from 6 families with a juvenile neuromuscular disease due to biallelic NEMF variants. (In one of these 8 cases it could not be ruled out that a de novo and maternally inherited variant were on the same allele, as phase was not determined). A ninth individual with similar presentation was found to harbor a single NEMF missense SNV as de novo event (due to a speculated dominant-negative effect). This individual had a similar presentation.

Features incl. hypotonia (4/8 with biallelic variant (B) | 1/1 monoallelic (M) ), DD/ID (7/8B | 0/1M) with speech delay as universal feature (8/8B | 1/1M), axonal neuropathy (3/3B | 1/1M), ataxia (3/8B | 0/1M). Other findings included tremor (1/7B | 1/1M), abnormal brain imaging (2/6B / ?/1M), kyphosis/scoliosis (4/8B | 0/1M), respiratory distress (1/8B | 0/1M).

NEMF (Rqc2 in yeast) encodes the nuclear export mediator factor, a component of the Ribosome-associated Quality Control (RCQ) complex which is involved in proteolytic targeting of incomplete polypeptides prodduced by ribosome stalling.

Added comment: Biallelic PAX1 pathogenic variants cause Otofaciocervical syndrome 2 (OMIM 615560).

Brief review of the literature suggests 3 relevant publications to date (04-07-2020).

2 individuals with DD and ID have been reported (Patil et al, 2018 - PMID: 29681087 and Pohl et al, 2013 - PMID: 23851939). Other subjects reported were only evaluated as newborns(mostly)/infants [Paganini et al, 2017 - PMID: 28657137, Patil et al, 2018 - PMID: 29681087].

While the first report by Pohl et al identified a homozygous missense variant supported by functional studies [NM_006192.5:c.497G>T - p.(Gly166Val)] subsequent ones identified homozygosity for pLoF mutations [Patil et al: NM_006192.4:c.1173_1174insGCCCG / Paganini et al: NM_006192:c.1104C>A - p.(Cys368*)].

As discussed by Pohl et al:

PAX1 encodes a transcription factor with critical role in pattern formation during embryogenesis. Study of the mouse Gly157Val (equivalent to human Gly166Val) Pax1 variant suggested reduced binding affinity (reduced transactivation of a regulatory sequence of the Nkx3-2 promoter) and hypofunctional nature of this variant.

Mouse models seem to recapitulate features of the disorder (skeletal, immunodeficiency) while the role of Pax1 in hearing process was thought to be supported by early expression (P6) in mouse cochlea.

Overall this gene can be considered for inclusion in the ID panel with amber/green rating.

gene: FEM1B was added to Intellectual disability syndromic and non-syndromic. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: FEM1B was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: FEM1B were set to 31036916
Phenotypes for gene: FEM1B were set to Syndromic intellectual disability
Review for gene: FEM1B was set to AMBER
Added comment: No OMIM phenotype PMID: 31036916 - a single de novo patient reported in a neurodevelopmental disorder cohort. Authors note another de novo case with the exact same variant (p.Arg126Gln) from the DDD study, and a 3rd patient from GeneMatcher with the same de novo missense again. Decipher shows this variant to be in a highly constrained region of the protein. Cannot be certain the DDD and GeneMatcher individuals are unrelated, therefore treat as two reports for now.
