Added comment: New papers (biallelic variant for HM/male infertility):
i) PMID: 39545410- Novel homozygous splice donor site variant c.349+1G>T in patient 1824 (Italian) with 2 HMs followed by secondary infertility and substantially reduced bilateral ovarian volumes. MAJIN codes for a junction protein that forms a complex with TERB1 and TERB2, which together bind to telomeres and anchor them to the inner nuclear membrane components KASH5 and SUN1. This attachment of chromosomes to the nuclear envelope is essential for homologous chromosome movement and synapsis. In mice, both male and female null mutants Majin are infertile (PMID: 26548954). In humans, biallelic mutations in MAJIN have been reported in infertile males.

ii) PMID: 33211200- A homozygous p.Arg53His in NOA-affected male (Individual 4- M1646) with high CADD scores and low gnomad freq. Mice disrupted for either Majin or Terb2 display impaired synapsis, zygotene arrest, a lack of postmeiotic cells and infertility (Shibuya et al. 2015; Zhang et al. 2017).

Mendeliome v1.134 CCDC155 Melanie Marty gene: CCDC155 was added
gene: CCDC155 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: CCDC155 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: CCDC155 were set to 35674372; 35708642; 29790874; 35587281
Phenotypes for gene: CCDC155 were set to Non-obstructive azoospermia; Premature ovarian insufficiency
Review for gene: CCDC155 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Current HGNC name is KASH5

Summary: 4 families reported with non-obstructive azoospermia or premature ovarian insufficiency. Functional studies have been performed and mouse models recapitulate the phenotype.

PMID: 35674372 CNV and frameshift variants in KASH5 were identified in a non-obstructive azoospermia affected patient and in his infertile sister by whole-exome sequencing and CNV array. Kash5 knockout mouse displayed similar phenotypes, including a meiotic arrest at a zygotene-like stage and impaired pairing and synapsis.

PMID: 35708642 Hom splice identified in KASH5 in 2 sisters with premature ovarian insufficiency. In vitro studies found the variant disturbed the nuclear membrane localization of KASH5 and its binding with SUN1. Moreover, the Kash5 C-terminal deleted mice revealed defective meiotic homolog pairing and accelerated depletion of oocytes.

PMID: 29790874 2 brothers with non-obstructive azoospermia with hom missense in CCDC155

35587281 2 siblings with hom missense in CCDC155 non-obstructive azoospermia and premature ovarian insufficiency.
