Macrocephaly_Megalencephaly v0.158 FIBP Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: FIBP: Added comment: Beyond the two families previously reviewed (PMIDs 26660953; 27183861), four additional studies (PMIDs 36919607, 37218527, 37876348, 40099975) contribute four new unrelated families (total six unrelated families, nine patients) with a consistent autosomal‑recessive overgrowth syndrome. All six families have biallelic loss‑of‑function FIBP variants (nonsense or frameshift leading to NMD). Detailed clinical descriptions include overgrowth, macrocephaly, facial dysmorphism, developmental delay/intellectual disability, renal dysplasia and, in two families, early‑onset tumor predisposition. Segregation analyses confirm recessive inheritance in every case. Functional work (RT‑qPCR, fibroblast proliferation assays, mouse embryonic expression) demonstrates reduced FIBP expression and increased cell proliferation, supporting pathogenicity.; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed publications: 40099975, 37876348, 36919607, 27183861, 26660953
Macrocephaly_Megalencephaly v0.79 PPP2R1A Elena Savva gene: PPP2R1A was added
gene: PPP2R1A was added to Macrocephaly_Megalencephaly. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: PPP2R1A was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, imprinted status unknown
Publications for gene: PPP2R1A were set to PMID: 33106617; 26168268
Phenotypes for gene: PPP2R1A were set to Mental retardation, autosomal dominant 36 MIM#616362
Mode of pathogenicity for gene: PPP2R1A was set to Other
Review for gene: PPP2R1A was set to GREEN
Added comment: Likely dominant negative. For some variants, binding assays using HEK293T cells transfected with either WT or mutant constructs demonstrated decreased binding to B subunit families or C subunit with corresponding decrease in PP2A activity by affecting the trimeric holoenzyme (hypothesized by authors) ((PMIDs: 26168268, 33106617).

11/29 patients were macrocephalic, conversely 7/29 patients were microcephalic. All variants were in the same region and all were missense.
