Mendeliome v1.2244 DDX53 Chirag Patel gene: DDX53 was added
gene: DDX53 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: DDX53 was set to X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
Publications for gene: DDX53 were set to PMID: 39706195
Phenotypes for gene: DDX53 were set to autism spectrum disorder MONDO:0005258
Review for gene: DDX53 was set to GREEN
Added comment: The DDX53 gene is a single-exon RNA helicase which lies intronic to PTCHD1-AS (a multi-isoform long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) at the Xp22.11 locus. It is thought to play a role in RNA decay, RNA processing, ribosome biogenesis, and translation initiation. 9 affected males and 3 affected females from 9 unrelated families with ASD and rare, predicted damaging or loss-of-function variants in DDX53 (including a gene deletion involving DDX53 and exons of the noncoding RNA PTCHD1-AS). A further 26 individuals with ASD were identified (from Autism Speaks MSSNG and Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative) with 19 rare, damaging DDX53 variations (mostly maternally inherited). No functional evidence.

Added comment: RUNX1T1 encodes a transcription regulator for hematopoietic genes and is well-known for its involvement in hematologic malignancies. Germline RUNX1T1 variants may also play a role in human congenital neurodevelopmental disorders.

PMID: 39568205
3 unrelated individuals with developmental delay, learning disability, ASD, ADHD, and dysmorphism (1 x heart defects). Trio WES identified de novo variants in RUNX1T1 gene (1 x nonsense variant in 5' region [p.Gln36Ter], 2 x missense variants in C-terminus [p.Gly412Arg and p.His521Tyr]).

PMID: 19172993
1 individual with mild-moderate ID and congenital heart disease, and chromosome t(5;8)(q32;q21.3) translocation. Molecular characterization revealed that one of the break points was within the RUNX1T1 gene. Analysis of RUNX1T1 expression in human embryonic and fetal tissues suggests a role of RUNX1T1 in brain and heart development.

PMID: 39420202 - 12 CAKUT patients from 9/301 (3%) families carried 5 different rare heterozygous TSHZ3 missense variants. However, 1 of the variants (p.Ser58Gly) present in 5 of the families is more common in gnomAD v4.1 than you would expect for a dominant disease including 5 homozygotes (1,408/1,612,114 alleles, 5 hom, AF=0.0008734). The authors state this is not unexpected in a condition, such as CAKUT. However, the different missense variants are inherited from unaffected parents in at least 2/9 families (there was no phenotype information available for an additional 3 parents).

Mendeliome v1.1992 RFC4 Chirag Patel gene: RFC4 was added
gene: RFC4 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: RFC4 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: RFC4 were set to PMID: 39106866
Phenotypes for gene: RFC4 were set to RFC4-related multisystem disorder
Review for gene: RFC4 was set to GREEN
gene: RFC4 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: 9 affected individuals (aged birth to 47yrs) from 8 unrelated families with a multisystem disorder. Clinical features included: muscle weakness/myopathy (9/9), motor incoordination/gait disturbance (8/8), delayed gross motor development (6/9), dysarthria (5/5), peripheral neuropathy (3/3 adults), bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment (6/9), decreased body weight (8/9), short stature (5/9), microcephaly (4/9), respiratory issues/insufficiency (6/9), cerebellar atrophy (4/9), pituitary hypoplasia (3/9).

WES or WGS identified biallelic loss-of-function variants in RFC4 (3 frameshift, 2 splice site, 1 single AA duplication, 2 single AA deletions, 2 missense), and almost all are likely to disrupt the C-terminal domain indispensable for Replication factor C (RFC) complex formation. All variants segregated with the disease.

The RFC complex (with 5 subunits) is central to process of regulation of DNA replication, and it loads proliferating cell nuclear antigen onto DNA to facilitate the recruitment of replication and repair proteins and enhance DNA polymerase processivity. RFC1 is associated with CANVAS but the contributions of RFC2-5 subunits on human Mendelian disorders is unknown.

Analysis of a previously determined cryo-EM structure of RFC bound to proliferating cell nuclear antigen suggested that the variants disrupt interactions within RFC4 and/or destabilize the RFC complex. Cellular studies using RFC4-deficient HeLa cells and primary fibroblasts demonstrated decreased RFC4 protein, compromised stability of the other RFC complex subunits, and perturbed RFC complex formation. Additionally, functional studies of the RFC4 variants affirmed diminished RFC complex formation, and cell cycle studies suggested perturbation of DNA replication and cell cycle progression.

Mendeliome v1.1978 TMEM216 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: TMEM216: Added comment: PMID 39191256: Two rare nucleotide substitutions at the same genomic location on chromosome 11 (g.61392563 [GRCh38]), 69 base pairs upstream of the start codon of the ciliopathy gene TMEM216 (c.-69G>A, c.-69G>T [GenBank: NM_001173991.3]) found in individuals of South Asian and African ancestry, respectively.

This included 71 homozygotes and 3 mixed heterozygotes in trans with a predicted loss-of-function allele. Haplotype analysis showed single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) common across families, suggesting ancestral alleles within the two distinct ethnic populations.

Clinical phenotype analysis of 62 available individuals from 49 families indicated a similar clinical presentation with night blindness in the first decade and progressive peripheral field loss thereafter. No evident systemic ciliopathy features were noted.

Functional characterization of these variants by luciferase reporter gene assay showed reduced promotor activity.; Changed publications: 20036350, 20512146, 39191256; Changed phenotypes: Joubert syndrome 2, MIM# 608091, MONDO:0011963, Meckel syndrome 2, MIM# 603194, MONDO:0011296, Retinitis pigmentosa, MONDO:0019200, TMEM216-related

Added comment: DISPUTED by ClinGen.

Shoichet et al. (2003) described a female patient with severe nonsyndromic mental retardation and a de novo balanced translocation t(X;7)(p11.3;q11.21) in whom they cloned the DNA fragment that contained the X chromosomal and the autosomal breakpoint. In silico sequence analysis demonstrated that the ZNF41 gene was disrupted. Expression studies indicated that ZNF41 transcripts were absent in the patient cell line, suggesting that the mental disorder in this patient resulted from loss of functional ZNF41. Screening of patients with mental retardation led to the identification of 2 other ZNF41 mutations that were not found in healthy control individuals. Based on their finding of the mutations in ZNF41 identified by Shoichet et al. (2003) in a total of 7 males in the NHLBI Exome Variant Server, and the additional finding of truncating ZNF41 variants in 1 male and 1 female in that database, Piton et al. (2013) classified the involvement of ZNF41 in mental retardation as highly questionable.

Phenotypes for gene: AVPR1A were set to Autism spectrum disorder MONDO:0005258
Review for gene: AVPR1A was set to RED
Added comment: DISPUTED by ClinGen:

The Arginine Vasopressin Receptor 1A (AVPR1A) was considered a candidate gene in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on reports focused on linkage intervals and animal models. Additionally, experimental evidence showed that AVPR1A is possibly involved in social behaviors, including affiliation and attachment (PMID: 24924430). However, these association studies were underpowered—sequencing more individuals may have identified variants of functional significance. In two studies, transmission disequilibrium between AVPR1A microsatellites and autism were found but most were not statistically significant (PMID: 12082568, 16520824). In another study, investigators screened AVPR1A exons in 125 independent autistic probands (PMID: 15098001). However, the study did not demonstrate a disease-causing variant in the coding sequence, and the authors noted that differences in AVPR1A at the amino-acid level are unlikely to confer genetic vulnerability to autism. Experimental evidence is available, but, in the absence of human genetic evidence, such data were not utilized in the scoring. In summary, there is no valid genetic evidence to support an association between AVPR1A and autism spectrum disorder.

Added comment: PMID:38422122 reported the identification of 10 individuals from seven kindreds from four different ethnicities with biallelic PTCRA variants (homozygous in five kindreds and compound heterozygous in two kindreds).

Six of these 10 patients were clinically asymptomatic at their most recent evaluation, while other four patients displayed infection, lymphoproliferation, and/or autoimmunity with an onset during their teens or in adulthood. One of these patients died from SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia at the age of 24 years. Patient 9 had a small thymus on MRI at the age of 2 years, whereas P5 and P6 had no visible thymus at the ages of 13 and 8 years, respectively. Three of the nine patients with pLOF PTCRA variants tested were found to produce autoantibodies, several of which were associated with clinical manifestations. Anti-thyroid autoantibodies and/or clinically overt thyroiditis were found in three of the nine patients. P7, who suffered from recurrent herpes infections, had autoantibodies against type I interferons.

Two of those identified variants are hypomorphic and are associated with autoimmunity. In addition, there is extensive functional and epidemiological data available.

Mendeliome v1.1587 APOLD1 Lucy Spencer changed review comment from: PMID: 35638551
1 family with an atypical inherited bleeding disorder characterised by severe spontaneous bleeding episodes in childhood and microcirculatory problems. 4 affected individuals across 2 generations have R49*in APOLD1, another affected individual from a third generation was not able to be sequenced = 4 meiosis. 4 unaffected individuals did not have the variant.

This gene has no NMD region, R49* would affect 82% of the protein. Paper is not using the MANE select transcript, alt p. in MANE select is R18* which affects 92% of the MANE select protein

Interestingly R49* is created by a delins/2 missense in cis, 1 common R49Q and 1 rare R49W, some UNaffected family members just have the common missense without the other in cis.

Immunofluorescence studies in patient platelets showed a 50% reduction of APOLD1 and disrupted cytoskeletal and junctional organization.

- In one family, chet missense p.His638Tyr and p.Asn1917Ser segregated with microcephaly, short stature, limb-extremity dysplasia, and reduced testicular size in two affected siblings. Both sibs also fulfilled dx for mosaic variegated aneuploidy (MVA) syndrome and have tetraploidy.
- A lower but substantial proportion of MVA/tetraploidy cells was observed in II-1, II-2, and II-4 (who are het for one of the variants).

- In the same family, each variants in heterozygous state segregated with infertility and/or reduced testicular size in the proband’s father and maternal uncle.
- Variant screening of CEP192 coding regions performed for 1264 unrelated males with idiopathic infertility.
- Asn1917Ser was also detected in three additional unrelated infertile males with reduced testicular volumes.
- Two other missense and two synonymous variants were repeatedly detected in infertile males.

- qPCR showed CEP192 expression was decreased in individuals with c.1912C>T His638Tyr, mini-gene assay showed that c.1912C>T His638Tyr led to the skipping of exon 14, predicted to result in NMD.
- Epithelial cells cultured in vitro from patients with biallelic variants showed the number of cells arrested during the prophase increased because of the failure of spindle formation.

- Embyronic mouse lethality in Cep192-/- (hom for His638Tyr), Cep192M/M (hom for Asn1917Ser) and Cep192-/M (chet).
- Embryos of Cep192M/M mice had significant increase of MVA and tetraploidy cells.
- Number of apoptotic cells increased in Cep192M/M embryos compared with that of Cep192+/+, similar result in Cep192-/- embryos.
- Male mice with Cep192 heterozygous variants replicated infertility

Conclusions:
- Association of this gene with autosomal recessive disease has not been established.
- Association of monoallelic variants in this gene with infertility is not well established:
- Two variants with some supportive evidence from mouse model.

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”.

Added comment: PMID: 37308312; Alqahtani, MA. et al. (2023) Clin Genet. doi: 10.1111/cge.14389.
Three siblings in one consanguineous Saudi Arabian family with non-syndromic neonatal diabetes, all with a homozygous frameshift variant, NM_001321425.2:c.1448dupA, p.(Tyr483*), in ZNF808. (Same nucleotide and amino acid numbering as for the MANE SELECT transcript, NM_001039886.4).
This variant has been entered as likely pathogenic in ClinVar by this group.
This variant occurs in the last exon of the gene and is therefore not NMD-predicted. Instead it is predicted to cause a truncated protein.
This paper shows a diagram with several other truncating variants in this exon, which were reported in the paper by De Franco, E. et al. (2021).
(These patients also had low vitamin D levels, suggesting an association, and is consistent with other studies looking into loci that are associated with vitamin D).

De Franco, E. et al. (2021) medRxiv 08.23.21262262. (Exeter, UK):
Firstly, this group found a homozygous variant NM_001039886.3:c.637del, p.(Leu213*) that is predicted to cause a truncated protein, and also a homozygous CNV Chr19(GRCh37):g.53057128_53100968del (predicted to cause a deletion of exons 4 and 5) in two unrelated affected individuals. These patients had pancreatic agenesis, defined as insulin-dependent diabetes in the first 6 months of life (neonatal diabetes) and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Both were from consanguineous families. Parents were subsequently tested and shown to be heterozygous carriers.
They then investigated 232 additional patients who had been diagnosed with neonatal diabetes before the age of 6 months and found ten more homozygous ZNF808 variants. Six were nonsense: p.(Gln194*), p.(Cys233*), p.(Tyr427*), p.(Lys458*), p.(Tyr528*) and p.(Arg727*), and three were frameshift variants: p.(Ala379Valfs*157), p.(Leu588Profs*118), p.(Asn770Ilefs*98) and one was a whole-gene deletion.
All the frameshift and nonsense variants occurred in the last exon of the gene, which contains all 23 zinc finger domains; and therefore all of these variants are predicted to result in truncated proteins, and removal of some, if not all, those domains.
This group also carried out functional studies using an in vitro model of pancreas development and showed an aberrant activation of many transposable elements (mostly MER11 elements) that would be normally be repressed during early pancreas development.

Added comment: We associate ultra-rare variants in POU3F2, encoding a central nervous system transcription factor, with syndromic obesity and neurodevelopment delay in 12 individuals. Demonstrate variant pathogenicity through in vitro analysis. Used exome sequencing, GeneMatcher and Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project rare disease database.

Both truncating and missense variants in over 10 individuals sharing autism spectrum disorder, NDD, and adolescent-onset obesity (may have had other features eg. CAKUT in 2 individuals, diabetes in two) . Affected individuals presented with low-to-normal birth weight and infantile feeding difficulties but developed insulin resistance and hyperplasia during childhood. With the exception of an early truncating variant, the variants showed adequate nuclear translocation but overall disturbed DNA-binding ability and promoter activation.

Variants absent from population and clinical databases. Almost all constituted putatively non-inherited de novo variants (8/10).

Functional studies provide evidence for loss of function in eight and gain of function in one obesity-associated POU3F2 variant. One variant did not impact POU3F2-promoter activation, leaving the possibility for further path-mechanisms.

Added comment: 17 individuals from 16 families reported with mostly de novo variants. Variants were a mixture of missense, nonsense/frameshift (both NMD-predicted and not NMD-predicted) and microdeletions. In one family, only one parent was available for testing. In another family, 2 affected siblings had the variant but the variant was not identified in either parent suggesting germline mosaicism.

Functional testing of a subset of variants in Drosophila supported pathogenicity in most, but 2 missense variants showed no functional effect and were classified VUS. Episignature analysis (EpiSign) on patient DNA from blood showed a specific DNA methylation signature in patients with the variants classified pathogenic but not those classified VUS.

Phenotypes included mainly neurological abnormalities (mild to moderate ID/dev delay, motor delay, speech delay, and behavioural disorders) and facial dysmorphisms.

Other features included hypotonia (11/16), variable brain abnormalities on MRI (6/12), variable cardiac malformations (6/14). urogenital malformations e.g. hypospadias, cryptorchidism (6/13), scoliosis (5/17) and/or variable other skeletal abnormalities (10/17).

Added comment: Comment on gene rating: This gene should be rated GREEN in Intellectual disability panel as it has 10 unrelated cases and functional evidence in support of this association.

PMID:37054711 reported ten unrelated families with biallelic variants in INTS11 gene and they present with intellectual disability, global developmental and language delay, impaired motor development, and brain atrophy.

Functional studies in Drosophila showed that dIntS11 (fly ortholog of INTS11) is essential and expressed in the central nervous systems in a subset of neurons and most glia in larval and adult stages. In addition, genes with two variants (p.Arg17Leu and p.His414Tyr) fail to rescue the lethality of null mutants in the Drosophila model, indicating that they are strong loss-of-function variants. The other five variants (p.Gly55Ser, p.Leu138Phe, p.Lys396Glu, p.Val517Met and p.Ile553Glu) rescue lethality but cause a shortened lifespan and bang sensitivity and affect locomotor activity, indicating that they are partial loss-of-function variants.

Added comment: PMID: 34009673- patients with constitutional mosaic aneuploidy were found to have biallelic mutations in CENATAC(CCDC84). 2 adult siblings with mosaic aneuploidies, microcephaly, dev delay, and maculopathy. Both chet for a missense and a splice site deletion- but the paper days these both result in the creation of a novel splice site that leads to frameshifts and loss of the c-terminal 64 amino acids.

Gene is shown to be part of a spliceosome. CENATAC depletion or expression of disease mutants resulted in retention of introns in ~100 genes enriched for nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle regulation, and caused chromosome segregation errors.

Functional analysis in CENATAC-depleted HeLa cells demonstrated chromosome congression defects and subsequent mitotic arrest, which could be fully rescued by wildtype but not mutant CENATAC. Expression of the MVA-associated mutants exacerbated the phenotype, suggesting that the mutant proteins dominantly repress the function of any residual wildtype protein.

Using the MatchMaker Exchange - Described 27 individuals with rare, variation in the ZMYM3. Most individuals were males, 17 of which have a maternally inherited variant; six individuals (4 male, 2 female) with de novo variants.
Overlapping features included developmental delay, intellectual disability, behavioural abnormalities, and a specific facial gestalt in a subset of males.
Variants in almost all individuals are missense, including six that recurrently affect two residues. Four unrelated probands were identified with inherited variation affecting Arg441 (R441W), a site at which variation has been previously seen in NDD-affected siblings (24721225), and two individuals have de novo variation resulting in p.Arg1294Cys (c.3880C>T).

Review for gene: GABRA3 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Six variants in GABRA3 encoding the alpha3-subunit of the GABA(A) receptor.
Five missense variants and one micro duplication were detected in four families and two sporadic cases presenting with a range of epileptic seizure types, a varying degree of intellectual disability and developmental delay, sometimes with dysmorphic features or nystagmus.
The variants co-segregated mostly but not completely with the phenotype in the families, indicating in some cases incomplete penetrance, involvement of other genes, or presence of phenocopies.
Overall, males were more severely affected and there were three asymptomatic female mutation carriers compared to only one male without a clinical phenotype.
Mechanism suggested - three detected missense variants are localised in the extracellular GABA-binding NH2-terminus, one in the M2-M3 linker and one in the M4 transmembrane segment of the alpha3-subunit. Functional studies in Xenopus leaves oocytes revealed a variable but significant reduction of GABA-evoked anion currents for all mutants compared to wild-type receptors. The degree of current reduction correlated partially with the phenotype.
Results reveal that rare loss-of-function variants in GABRA3 increase the risk for a varying combination of epilepsy, intellectual disability/developmental delay and dysmorphic features, presenting in some pedigrees with an X-linked inheritance pattern.

Immunoblots of fibroblasts from two affected individuals revealed that the variant does not significantly alter MTSS2 levels. We modeled the variant in Drosophila and showed that the fly ortholog missing-in-metastasis (mim) was widely expressed in most neurons and a subset of glia of the CNS. Loss of mim led to a reduction in lifespan, impaired locomotor behavior, and reduced synaptic transmission in adult flies. Expression of the human MTSS2 reference cDNA rescued the mim loss-of-function (LoF) phenotypes, whereas the c.2011C>T variant had decreased rescue ability compared to the reference, suggesting it is a partial LoF allele. However, elevated expression of the variant, but not the reference MTSS2 cDNA, led to similar defects as observed by mim LoF, suggesting that the variant is toxic and may act as a dominant-negative allele when expressed in flies.

Added comment: PMID 36197437 Cospain et al 2022 report 11 individuals from 10 families with heterozygous PTC variants in exon 4/4 of the FOSL2 gene. All variants were predicted to escape NMD resulting in a truncated protein, with the truncation occurring proximal to the C-terminal domain (supportive functional studies).

In 10/11 families the variant occurred de novo in a single affected proband. In one family with 2 affected siblings, the variant was present in the siblings but absent in the unaffected parent likely due to gonadal mosaicism.

Clinical features included:
- Cutis aplasia congenital of the scalp (10/11)
- Tooth enamel hypoplasia and discolouration (8/9)
- Multiple other ectodermal features also noted e.g. small brittle nails, hypotrichosis/hypertrichosis, lichen sclerosis

The missense variants reported in PMIDs 9354794 and 19064609 are present at a high population frequency in gnomad, including some in homozygous case: their association with disease is DISPUTED.

A total of at least 7 families reported with severe CHD and high impact variants (stop gain, frameshift and canonical splice site). However, almost invariably these were inherited from unaffected or questionably affected parents (e.g. self reports of heart murmur in childhood), raising questions about whether these variants contribute to disease under a monogenic or polygenic model and/or about penetrance.

Publications for gene: TYMS were set to 35931051
Phenotypes for gene: TYMS were set to Dyskeratosis congenita MONDO:0015780
Review for gene: TYMS was set to RED
Added comment: 8 families with dyskeratosis congenita and heterozygous variants in TYMS. 4 PTCs, 2 missense and 1 splice (2 families had the same frameshift). However in all families 1 unaffected parent was also heterozygous for the same TYSM variant.

The other parent in 3 of these families was then shown to carry a heterozygous variant in ENOSF1 which each affected child was also heterozygous for. ENOSF1 has been shown to modify TYMS expression at the RNA level by acting as an antisense molecule to TYMS. ENOSF1 partially overlaps TYMS on chromosome 18 and is transcribed in the opposite direction to TYMS. This paper is suggesting digenic inheritance.

The TYMS wild type parent from another family was seen to have a TYMSOS variant which was also observed along with the TYMS variant in their 2 affected children.

Immunoblotting showed a stark reduction in TYMS protein level in the cells of affected probands when compared to the parent carrier, wild-type parent, and the controls.

Lymphoblastoid cells from affected probands have severe TYMS deficiency, altered cellular deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate pools, and hypersensitivity to the TYMS-specific inhibitor 5-fluorouracil. These defects in the nucleotide metabolism pathway resulted in genotoxic stress, defective transcription, and abnormal telomere maintenance. Gene-rescue studies in cells from affected probands revealed that post-transcriptional epistatic silencing of TYMS is occurring via elevated ENOSF1.

Added comment: Moreno Traspas et al 2022 reported 14 children from ten unrelated families with syndromic form of pediatric liver cirrhosis. Genome/exome sequencing analysis reveled biallelic variants in the FOCAD gene. Most of the mutations were nonsense, frameshift, or splice site alterations, predicted to result in a loss of function, but there were also 3 missense variants at highly conserved residues. Western blot analysis of dermal fibroblasts derived from 2 patients showed near absent FOCAD expression in cellular extracts. There were also decreased levels of the SKIC2 protein, suggesting that FOCAD may contribute to the stability of RNA helicase (OMIM: 619991).

Mendeliome v1.173 PMM2 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: PMM2: Added comment: Association with HIPKD:
Cabezas et al (2017) reported co-occurrence of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia and polycystic kidney disease (HIPKD in 17 children from 11 unrelated families. Patients presented with hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia in infancy and enlarged kidneys with multiple kidney cysts. Some progressed to ESKD and some had liver cysts. Whole-genome linkage analysis in 5 informative families identified a single significant locus on chromosome 16p13.2. Sequencing of the coding regions of all linked genes failed to identify biallelic mutations. Instead, they found in all patients a promoter mutation (c.-167G>T) in PMM2, either homozygous or in trans with PMM2 coding mutations. They found deglycosylation in cultured pancreatic β cells altered insulin secretion. In vitro, the PMM2 promoter mutation associated with decreased transcriptional activity in patient kidney cells and impaired binding of the transcription factor ZNF143. In silico analysis suggested an important role of ZNF143 for the formation of a chromatin loop including PMM2. They proposed that the PMM2 promoter mutation alters tissue-specific chromatin loop formation, with consequent organ-specific deficiency of PMM2 leading to the restricted phenotype of HIPKD. None of the patients exhibited the typical clinical or diagnostic features of CDG1A.

Added comment: p.(Arg192Ter), a truncating variant that results in loss of 6 amino acids, was detected in two families (one Polish and one Korean) with hearing loss. Four affected (heterozygous) and two unaffected (neg) were tested, however 14 members had been diagnosed with HL in a large multi generational family (gene panel 237 genes). The second family (WES) had two affected heterozygous and no unaffected were tested. This same variant had previously been reported in a Danish family (12 affected heterozygous and 13 unaffected negative, but one younger member unaffected are heterozygous) with hearing loss (PMID: 26197441), for which functional studies in HEK cells demonstrated that the truncated protein was almost completely retained on the plasma cell membrane in contrast to the wild-type protein, which targeted primarily to the endo-lysosomal compartments. The YHTL motif, deleted by the c.574C>T nonsense mutation, is a canonical sorting motif
known to be recognized by specific adaptor proteins in the cytosol, leading to subcellular trafficking of the transmembrane protein to endosomes and lysosomes.

Mendeliome v0.12759 TTC19 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: TTC19: Added comment: Mitochondrial complex III deficiency nuclear type 2 is an autosomal recessive severe neurodegenerative disorder that usually presents in childhood, but may show later onset, even in adulthood. Affected individuals have motor disability, with ataxia, apraxia, dystonia, and dysarthria, associated with necrotic lesions throughout the brain. Most patients also have cognitive impairment and axonal neuropathy and become severely disabled later in life. The disorder may present clinically as spinocerebellar ataxia or Leigh syndrome, or with psychiatric disturbances.

Added comment: Klöckner (2022 - PMID: 35202461) describe the phenotype of 6 individuals (from 5 unrelated families) harboring biallelic CHKA variants.

Shared features incl. abnormal muscle tone(6/6 - hypertonia or hypotonia, 3/6 each), DD/ID (6/6,severe in 4, severe/profound in 2), epilepsy (6/6 - onset: infancy - 3y2m | epileptic spasms or GS at onset), microcephaly (6/6), movement disorders (3/6 - incl. dyskinesia, rigidity, choreoatetotic movements). 2/5 individuals exhibited MRI abnormalities, notably hypomyelination. Short stature was observed in 4/6.

Eventual previous genetic testing was not discussed.

Exome sequencing (quattro ES for 2 sibs, trio ES for 1 individual, singleton for 3 probands) revealed biallelic CHKA variants in all affected individuals. Sanger sequencing was performed for confirmation and segregation studies.

Other variants (in suppl.) were not deemed to be causative for the neurodevelopmental phenotype.

3 different missense, 1 start-loss and 1 truncating variant were identified, namely (NM_0012772.2):
- c.421C>T/p.(Arg141Trp) [3 hmz subjects from 2 consanguineous families],
- c.580C>T/p.Pro194Ser [1 hmz individual born to consanguineous parents],
- c.2T>C/p.(Met1?) [1 hmz individual born to related parents],
- c.14dup/p.(Cys6Leufs*19) in trans with c.1021T>C/p.(Phe341Leu) in 1 individual.

CHKA encodes choline kinase alpha, an enzyme catalyzing the first step of phospholipid synthesis in the Kennedy pathway. The pathway is involved in de novo synthesis of glycerophospholipids, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine being the most abundant in eukaryotic membranes.

CHKA with its paralog (CHKB) phosphorylates either choline or ethanolamine to phosphocholine or phosphoethanolamine respectively with conversion of ATP to ADP.

As the authors comment, biallelic pathogenic variants in CHKB cause a NDD with muscular dystrophy, hypotonia, ID, microcephaly and structural mitochondrial anomalies (MIM 602541). [Prominent mitochondrial patterning was observed in a single muscle biopsy available from an individual with biallelic CHKA variants].

Other disorders of the Kennedy pathway (due to biallelic PCYT2, SELENOI, PCYT1A variants) present with overlapping features incl. variable DD/ID (no-severe), microcephaly, seizures, visual impairment etc.

CHKA variants were either absent or observed once in gnomAD, affected highly conserved AAs with multiple in silico predictions in favor of a deleterious effect.

In silico modeling suggests structural effects for several of the missense variants (Arg141Trp, Pro194Ser presumably affect ADP binding, Phe341 lying close to the binding site of phosphocholine).

Each of the missense variants was expressed in yeast cells and W. Blot suggested expression at the expected molecular weight at comparative levels. The 3 aforementioned variants exhibited reduced catalytic activity (20%, 15%, 50% respectively).

NMD is thought to underly the deleterious effect of the frameshift one (not studied).

The start-loss variant is expected to result in significantly impaired expression and protein function as eventual utilization of the next possible start codon - occurring at position 123 - would remove 26% of the protein.

Chka(-/-) is embryonically lethal in mice, suggesting that complete loss is not compatible with life. Reduction of choline kinase activity by 30% in heterozygous mice did not appear to result in behavioral abnormalities although this was not studied in detail (PMID cited: 18029352). Finally, screening of 1566 mouse lines identified 198 genes whose disruption yields neuroanatomical phenotypes, Chka(+/-) mice being among these (PMID cited: 31371714).

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM, Gene2Phenotype or SysID.

Overall this gene can be considered for inclusion in the ID and epilepsy panes with green or amber rating (>3 individuals, >3 variants, variant studies, overlapping phenotype of disorders belonging to the same pathway, etc). Consider also inclusion in the microcephaly panel (where available this seemed to be of postnatal onset).

Both had retinal detachment and interstitial parenchymal pulmonary changes on chest X-rays, but only one child had additional significant features such as cataract, posterior encephalocele, severe DD/ID with ASD, and epilepsy. WES revealed a heterozygous PAK2 variant (c.1303 G>A, p.Glu435Lys) in both individuals that apparently occurred de novo indicating parental germ-line mosaicism; however, mosaicism could not be detected by deep sequencing of blood parental DNA. Functional studies showed that the variant, located in the kinase domain, results in a partial loss of the kinase activity.

Review for gene: KCNQ1OT1 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Limited evidence that isolated intragenic variation in KCNQ1OT1 is definitively associated with a phenotype.

KCNQ1OT1 encodes the regulatory antisense non-coding RNA KCNQ1OT1 (KCNQ1 overlapping) and is located within the KCNQ1OT1:TSS DMR (imprinting control region 2; IC2) at 11p15.5. IC2 is located within KCNQ1 intron 10. KCNQ1OT1 is maternally imprinted and paternally expressed. On the paternal chromosome, KCNQ1OT1 is transcribed and represses in cis the flanking imprinted genes, including the growth inhibitor CDKN1C, which is normally transcribed from the maternal allele. In 50% of the BWS patients, loss of methylation (LOM) of IC2 leads to biallelic expression of KCNQ1OT1 and biallelic silencing of CDKN1C (PMID 30635621). Expression is increased in BWS due to IC2 epimutations or paternal UPD.

Single nucleotide variants within KCNQ1OT1 have not been definitively associated with human disease. A heterozygous maternally inherited non-coding variant was identified in an individual with isolated omphalocele. This variant was shown to alter the methylation pattern of the imprinted allele (PMID 29047350).

Eggerman et al (PMID 32447323) described a 132 base pair deletion within KCNQ1OT1 associated with growth retardation in the case of paternal but not maternal transmission. This intragenic deletion did not affect IC2 methylation.

Microdeletions of IC2 involving KCNQ1OT1 on the paternal allele have been identified in a small number of patients with Russell-Silver syndrome. Similarly, microdeletions of IC2 involving KCNQ1OT1 on the maternal allele have been identified in a small number of patients with BWS. These deletions also variably involve KCNQ1 or CDKN1C. LoF in CDKN1C is a known cause of BWS. There is some evidence to suggest that disruption of KCNQ1 prevents maternal methylation at IC2 (PMID 30778172).

Mendeliome v0.8853 PLAG1 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: PLAG1: Added comment: Additional families reported, upgrade to Green.

Silver-Russell syndrome-4 (SRS4) is characterised by intrauterine growth retardation followed by feeding difficulties and postnatal growth restriction. Dysmorphic facial features include triangular face and prominent forehead, and relative macrocephaly at birth may be observed. So far 4 families have been reported with some functional studies of the role of the gene in the growth pathway.

Abi Habib et al. (2018) reported 1 family (child, sister and mother) patient with Silver-Russell syndrome (with normal methylation on chromosomes 7, 11, and 14, and exclusion of maternal UPD and chromosomal rearrangements). Using WES they identified a heterozygous 1-bp deletion in the PLAG1 gene. The variant segregated with disease, and was not present in polymorphism databases or ExAC. They also reported another patient with a different heterozygous 1-bp deletion in the PLAG1 gene. This was not found in her unaffected twin brother, older brother, or parents. Experiments in Hep3b cells demonstrated that PLAG1 positively regulates expression of the IGF2 promoter P3, independently and via the HMGA2-PLAG1-IGF2 pathway. Disruption of any gene in the pathway results in a decrease in IGF2 expression and produces an SRS phenotype similar to that of patients carrying 11p15.5 epigenetic defects (SRS1; 180860), except for body asymmetry, which is not expected to occur since the molecular defects are present in all cells of the body, unlike the mosaic epigenetic changes at the 11p15.5 locus.

Inoue et al. (2020) reported 1 family with 2 affected people with Silver-Russell syndrome with a nonsense variant in the PLAG1 gene, which segregated with disease.

Vado et al. (2020) reported 1 family with multiple affected people with Silver-Russell syndrome with a frameshift variant in the PLAG1 gene, which segregated with disease.; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed publications: 28796236, 29913240, 33291420, 32546215

Review for gene: RNF220 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Sferra et al (2021 - PMID: 33964137) provide extensive evidence that biallelic RNF220 mutations cause a disorder characterized by hypomyelinating leukodystrophy, ataxia (9/9 - onset 1-5y), borderline intellectual functioning (3/9) / intellectual disability (5/9 - in most cases mild), sensorineural deafness (9/9) with complete hearing loss in the first decade of life, hepatopathy (9/9) with associated periportal fibrosis, and dilated cardiomyopathy (9/9) which was fatal.

Other neurologic manifestations apart from ataxia incl. hyperreflexia (8/8), spastic paraplegia (9/9), dysarthria (9/9), peripheral neuropathy (4/9), seizures in one case (1/9). Upon brain MRI there was thin corpus callosum (9/9) or cerebellar atrophy in some (2/9).

The authors identified homozygosity for 2 recurrent missense RNF220 variants in affected members belonging to these 5 broad consanguineous pedigrees (7 families), namely NM_018150.4:c.1094G>A / p.Arg365Gly in 4 Roma families in the context of a shared haplotype (/founder effect) as well as c.1088G>A / p.Arg363Gly in a large pedigree from southern Italy initially reported by Leuzzi et al (2000 - PMID: 10881263).

Extensive segregation analyses were carried out including several affected and unaffected members.

RNF220 encodes ring finger protein 220, which functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Previous studies have shown among others a role in modulation of Sonic hedgehog/GLI signaling and cerebellar development

Evidence for the role of RNF220 included relevant expression, localization within the cell, interaction partners (lamin B1, 20S proteasome), similarities with other laminopathies in terms of phenotype, etc :
*RNF220 has a relevant expression pattern in CNS (based on qRT-PCR analyses in human brain, cerebellum, cerebral cortex / mRNA levels in human fetal CNS with higher expression in cerebellum, spinal cord and cortex / previous GTEx data / protein levels in mouse CNS)
*The protein displays nuclear localization based on iPSC cells differentiated to motor neurons (also supported by data from the Human Protein Atlas). Transfection of COS-1 cells demonstrated localization primarily to the nucleus (as also previously demonstrated in HEK293T cells) in vesicle like structures with ASF2/SF2 colocalization suggesting enrichment in nuclear speckles. There was also partial co-distribution with the 20S proteasome. R363Q and R365Q additionally coalesced in the cytoplasm forming protein aggregates/inclusions.
*Immunofluorescence studies in patient fibroblasts also confirmed abnormal increase of the protein in the cytoplasm and increased fluorescence with the 20S proteasome.
*Proteomic identification of RNF220-interacting proteins in transfected HEK293T cells demonstrated enrichment for all members of the lamin protein family (incl . lamin B1, AC, B2).
*RNAi-mediated downregulation of RNF222 in Drosophila suggested altered subcellular localization and accumulation of the fly orthologue for human lamin B1.
*Immunoprecipitation of lamin B1 from the nuclear matrix of cerebellar cells suggested significant interaction of endogenous lamin B1 with RNF220, while transfection studies in HEK293T cells for wt/mt suggested reduced binding to endogenous lamin B1 for RNF220 mt compared to wt (more prominent for R365Q). RNF220 mutants also reduced ubiquitination of nuclear lamin B1 compared to wt.
*Patient fibroblasts immunostained with different nuclear envelope markers displayed abnormal nuclear shapes with multiple invaginations and lobulations, findings also observed in laminopathies.

Mode of inheritance for gene: ARF3 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: ARF3 were set to 34346499
Phenotypes for gene: ARF3 were set to Global developmental delay; Intellectual disability; Seizures; Morphological abnormality of the central nervous system
Review for gene: ARF3 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Sakamoto et al (2021 - PMID: 34346499) provide some evidence that monoallelic ARF3 pathogenic variants may be associated with a NDD with brain abnormality.

Using trio exome sequencing, the authors identified 2 individuals with NDD harboring de novo ARF3 variants, namely: NM_001659.2:c.200A>T / p.Asp67Val and c.296G>T / p.Arg99Leu.

Individual 1 (with Asp67Val / age : 4y10m), appeared to be more severelely affected with prenatal onset progressive microcephaly, severe global DD, epilepsy. Upon MRI there was cerebellar and brainstem atrophy. Individual 2 (Arg99Leu / 14y) had severe DD and ID (IQ of 23), epilepsy and upon MRI cerebellar hypoplasia. This subject did not exhibit microcephaly. Common facial features incl. broad nose, full cheeks, small philtrum, strabismus, thin upper lips and abnormal jaw. There was no evidence of systemic involvement in both.

ARF3 encodes ADP-ribosylation factor 3. Adenosine diphosphate ribosylation factors (ARFs) are key proteins for regulation of cargo sorting at the Golgi network, with ARF3 mainly working at the trans-Golgi network. ARFs belong to the small GTP-binding protein (G protein) superfamily. ARF3 switches between an active GTP-bound form and an inactive GDP-bound form, regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) respectively.

Members of the ARF superfamily regulate various aspects of membrane traffic, among others in neurons.

There are 5 homologs of ARF families, divided in 3 classes. ARF3 and ARF1 belong to class I. Monoallelic ARF1 mutations are associated with Periventricular nodular heterotopia 8 (MIM 618185).

In vivo, in vitro and in silico studies for the 2 variants suggest that both impair the Golgi transport system although each variant most likely exerts a different effect (gain-of-function for Arg99Leu vs loss-of-function/dominant-negative for Asp67Val).

This was also reflected in somewhat different phenotype of the subjects with the respective variants. Common features included severe DD, epilepsy and brain abnormalities although Asp67Val was associated with diffuse brain atrophy as well as congenital microcephaly and Arg99Leu with cerebellar hypoplasia.

Evidence to support the effect of each variant include:

Arg99Leu:
Had identical Golgi localization to that of wt
Had increased binding activity with GGA1, a protein recruited by the GTP-bound active form of ARF3 to the TGN membrane (supporting GoF)
In silico structural analysis suggested it may fail to stabilize the conformation of Asp26, resulting in impaired GTP hydrolysis (GoF).
In transgenic fruit flies, evaluation of the ARF3 variant toxicity using the rough eye phenotype this variant was associated with increased severity of the r-e phenotype similar to a previously studied GoF variant (Gln71Leu)

Asp67Val:
Did not show a Golgi-like pattern of localization (similar to Thr31Asn a previously studied dominant-negative variant)
Displayed decreased protein stability
In silico structural analysis suggested that Asp67Val may lead to compromised binding of GTP or GDP (suggestive of LoF)
In transgenic Drosophila eye-specific expression of Asp67Val (similar to Thr31Asn, a known dominant-negative variant) was lethal possibly due to high toxicity in very small amounts in tissues outside the eye.

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM, G2P or SysID.

Added comment: There is enough evidence to include this gene in the current panel with green rating.

Biallelic PIDD1 pathogenic variants have been reported in 26 individuals (11 families) with DD (all), variable degrees of ID (mild to severe), behavioral (eg. aggression/self-mutilation in several, ADHD) and/or psychiatric abnormalities (ASD, psychosis in 5 belonging to 3 families), well-controlled epilepsy is some (9 subjects from 6 families) and MRI abnormalities notably abnormal gyration pattern (pachygyria with predominant anterior gradient) as well as corpus callosum anomalies (commonly thinning) in several. Dysmorphic features have been reported in almost all, although there has been no specific feature suggested.

The first reports on the phenotype associated with biallelic PIDD1 mutations were made by Harripaul et al (2018 - PMID: 28397838) and Hu et al (2019 - PMID: 29302074) [both studies investigating large cohorts of individuals with ID from consanguineous families].

Sheikh et al (2021 - PMID: 33414379) provided details on the phenotype of 15 individuals from 5 families including those from the previous 2 reports and studied provided evidence on the role of PIDD1 and the effect of variants.

Zaki et al (2021 - PMID: 34163010) reported 11 additional individuals from 6 consanguineous families, summarize the features of all subjects published in the literature and review the neuroradiological features of the disorder.

PIDD1 encodes p53-induced death domain protein 1. The protein is part of the PIDDosome, a multiprotein complex also composed of the bipartite linker protein CRADD (also known as RAIDD) and the proform of caspase-2 and induces apoptosis in response to DNA damage.

There are 5 potential PIDD1 mRNA transcript variants with NM_145886.4 corresponding to the longest. Similar to the protein encoded by CRADD, PIDD1 contains a death domain (DD - aa 774-893). Constitutive post-translational processing gives PIDD1-N, PIDD1-C the latter further processed into PIDD1-CC (by auto-cleavage). Serine residues at pos. 446 and 588 are involved in this autoprocessing generating PIDD1-C (aa 446-910) and PIDD1-CC (aa 774-893). The latter is needed for caspase-2 activation.

Most (if not all) individuals belonged to consanguineous families of different origins and harbored pLoF or missense variants.

Variants reported so far include : c.2587C>T; p.Gln863* / c.1909C>T ; p.Arg637* / c.2443C>T / p.Arg815Trp / c.2275-1G>A which upon trap assay was shown to lead to skipping of ex15 with direct splicing form exon14 to the terminal exon 16 (resulting to p.Arg759Glyfs*1 with exlcusion of the entire DD) / c.2584C>T; p.Arg862Trp / c.1340G>A; p.Trp447* / c.2116_2120del; p.Val706His*, c.1564_1565del; p.Gly602fs*26

Evidence so far provided includes:
- Biallelic CRADD variants cause a NDD disorder and a highly similar gyration pattern.
- Confirmation of splicing effect (eg. for c.2275-1G>A premature stop in position 760) or poor expression (NM_145886.3:c.2587C>T; p.Gln863*). Arg815Trp did not affect autoprocessing or protein stability.
- Abnormal localization pattern, loss of interaction with CRADD and failure to activate caspase-2 (MDM2 cleavage assay) [p.Gln863* and Arg815Trp]
- Available expression data from GTEx (PIDD1 having broad expression in multiple tissues, but higher in brain cerebellum) as well as BrainSpan and PsychEncode studies suggesting high coexpression of PIDD1, CRADD and CASP2 in many regions in the developing human brain.
- Variants in other genes encoding proteins interacting with PIDD1 (MADD, FADD, DNAJ, etc) are associated with NDD.

Pidd-1 ko mice (ex3-15 removal) lack however CNS-related phenotypes. These show decreased anxiety but no motor anomalies. This has also been the case with Cradd-/- mice displaying no significant CNS phenotypes without lamination defects.

There is currently no associated phenotype in OMIM. PIDD1 is listed in the DD panel of G2P (PIDD1-related NDD / biallelic / loss of function / probable) . SysID includes PIDD1 among the current primary ID genes.

Phenotypes for gene: SF3B2 were set to Craniofacial microsomia

Added comment: Twenty individuals from seven families reported with de novo or transmitted haploinsufficient variants in SF3B2. Affected individuals had mandibular hypoplasia, microtia, facial and preauricular tags, epibulbar dermoids, lateral oral clefts in addition to skeletal and cardiac abnormalities.

Targeted morpholino knockdown of SF3B2 in Xenopus resulted in disruption of cranial neural crest precursor formation and subsequent craniofacial cartilage defects, supporting a link between spliceosome mutations and impaired neural crest development in congenital craniofacial disease.

The families were ascertained from a cohort and the authors suggest that haploinsufficient variants in SF3B2 are the most prevalent genetic cause of CFM, explaining ~3% of sporadic and ~25% of familial cases.

Mendeliome v0.8583 PRDX3 Hazel Phillimore changed review comment from: Biallelic variants in 5 unrelated families with early onset (median 21 years , range 13-22 years) with ataxia with variable additional hyper- and hypokinetic movement disorders, and severe early-onset cerebellar atrophy (seen on MRI), and involvement of the brainstem, medullary olive and parietal cortex.
Evolution of the disease was gait ataxia leading to upper limb ataxia, then dysarthria and then dysphagia, all within a decade. For some of these patients, the phenotype included myoclonus, dystonia and / or tremor. Mild classical mitochondrial features were seen in one of the patients, namely ptosis and COX-negative fibres.
The variants were homozygous nonsense, homozygous frameshift, homozygous missense, and a compound heterozygote of a splice variant and missense, all leading to complete loss of the protein. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction was indicated as the disease mechanism.
The families originated from Germany, France, India and two from eastern Turkey. The two families from Turkey were seemingly unrelated to each other but had the same homozygous missense.
Patient fibroblasts from each of the five probands showed lack of protein (via Western blot) and decreased glutathione peroxidase activity and decreased mitochondrial maximal respiratory capacity.
PRXD3 encodes peroxiredoxin 3, a mitochondrial antioxidant protein, that catalyses the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. It localises in the mitochondria, where most hydrogen peroxide is generated.
Functional studies: PRDX3 knockdown (induced by silencing RNA against PRDX3) in cerebellar medulloblastoma cells showed significantly decreased cell viability, increased hydrogen peroxide levels and increased susceptibility to apoptosis triggered by reactive oxygen species.
In addition, induced knockdown drosophila (in vivo animal model) had aberrant locomotor phenotypes and reduced lifespans, while immunolabelling of the brain showed increased cell death after exposure to oxidative stress.

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)

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.

Review for gene: EPHA7 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Lévy et al (2021 - PMID: 34176129) provide evidence that haploinssuficiency of EPHA7 results in a neurodevelopmental disorder.

The authors report on 12 individuals belonging to 9 unrelated families, all harboring with 6q microdeletions spanning EPHA7.

Overlapping features included DD (13/13), ID (10/10 - mild in most cases, individuals with larger CNVs/additional variants had more severe phenotype), speech delay and behavioral disorders. Variable other features incl. hypotonia (70%), non specific facial features, eye abnormalities (40%) and cardiac defects (25%).

The CNVs ranged from 152 kb to few Mb in size but in 4 subjects (P5-8) were only minimal, involving only EPHA7.

9 out of 12 individuals had inherited the deletion (5 subjects paternal, 4 maternal), in 1 subject (P12) this occured de novo, while for 2 others inheritance was not specified. Most deletions were inherited from an unaffected parent (in 6/7 families), with unclear contribution in a further one.

The authors discuss on previous studies suggesting an important role for EphA7 in brain development (modulation of cell-cell adhesion and repulsion, regulation of dendrite morphogenesis in early corticogenesis, role in dendritic spine formation later in development. EphA7 has also been proposed to drive neuronal maturation and synaptic function).

Haploinsufficiency for other ephrins or ephrin receptors has been implicated in other NDDs.

Overall Lévy et al promote incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity with haploinsufficiency of this gene being a risk factor for NDD. [The gene has also an %HI of 2.76% and a pLI of 1].

The phenotype is highly variable, but most patients have features of a systemic vascular inflammatory disorder with skin ulceration and recurrent strokes affecting the small vessels of the brain resulting in neurologic dysfunction. Other features may include recurrent fever, elevated acute-phase proteins, myalgias, lesions resembling polyarteritis nodosa, and/or livedo racemosa or reticularis with an inflammatory vasculitis on biopsy. Some patients may have renal and/or gastrointestinal involvement, hypertension, aneurysms, or ischemic necrosis of the digits. Some affected individuals have immunodeficiency.

The PSAP gene encodes saposins A, B, C and D. Variants resulting in PSAP null allele can be shared in patients with the deficit of other saposins (A-D) or whole prosaposin. The patient's phenotype depends then on the nature of the second allele - atypical Gaucher disease in case of saposin A, MLD in case of saposin B, and Krabbe disease in case of saposin C impairing mutations. The clinically most severe prosaposin deficit is caused by the presence of two PSAP null alleles.

Added comment: In three unrelated individuals with early-onset spastic movement disorder, expressive speech disorder and eye abnormalities including hypermetropia, 2 different heterozygous de novo stop-loss variants were identified. One of the variants did not lead to a loss of CLDN11 expression on RNA level in fibroblasts indicating this transcript is not subject to nonsense-mediated decay and most likely translated into an extended protein.

Added comment: IEM characterised by persistently increased plasma levels of conjugated bile salts apparent from infancy. Most patients are asymptomatic and have no liver dysfunction, although some neonates may have transient jaundice or transiently elevated liver enzymes. These abnormalities improve with age. The bile acid defect can result in impaired absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, including D and K, causing decreased bone mineral density or prolonged prothrobin time (PT). Some variants are recurrent (founder effect likely) but at least 3 different variants reported, mouse model.

Mendeliome v0.6901 SPINT2 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: More than 15 unrelated families reported.; to: Well established gene-disease association. PMID 30445423 reviews 34 patients from 26 families: 13 different variants in SPINT2 were seen, including 3 premature termination codons, 2 start codon removals, and 3 canonical splice site variants, supporting loss of function as the pathogenic mechanism. The most commonly observed variant was Y163C, observed in 40 (59%) of 68 disease alleles. Seven unrelated patients with the Y163C mutation had a shared haplotype, suggesting that it is a founder mutation. Choanal atresia (20/34) and keratitis of infantile onset (26/34) were the most common findings. All patients presented with intractable diarrhoea, with onset typically in the first 2 weeks of life. Episodes of intestinal pseudoobstruction sometimes preceded the onset of diarrhoea. Characteristic epithelial tufts on intestinal histology were seen in 13 of the 34 patients.

Mendeliome v0.6808 SATB1 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: SATB1: Added comment: Kohlschutter-Tonz syndrome-like (KTZSL) is characterized by global developmental delay with moderately to severely impaired intellectual development, poor or absent speech, and delayed motor skills. Although the severity of the disorder varies, many patients are nonverbal and have hypotonia with inability to sit or walk. Early-onset epilepsy is common and may be refractory to treatment, leading to epileptic encephalopathy and further interruption of developmental progress. Most patients have feeding difficulties with poor overall growth and dysmorphic facial features, as well as significant dental anomalies resembling amelogenesis imperfecta. This phenotype was reported in 28 patients (patients 13 to 40, PMID 33513338), including 9 patients from 3 families. Most variants were de novo, though some were inherited, suggestive of incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity.; Changed phenotypes: Developmental delay with dysmorphic facies and dental anomalies, MIM# 619228, Kohlschutter-Tonz syndrome-like, MIM# 619229
Mendeliome v0.6808 SATB1 Zornitza Stark commented on gene: SATB1: Developmental delay with dysmorphic facies and dental anomalies (DEFDA) is characterized by generally mild global developmental delay with variably impaired intellectual development, walking by 2 to 3 years, and slow language acquisition. The severity of the disorder ranges from moderate cognitive deficits to mild learning difficulties or behavioral abnormalities. Most patients have dysmorphic facial features, often with abnormal dentition and nonspecific visual defects, such as myopia, astigmatism, and strabismus. Although rare, involvement of other systems, such as skeletal, cardiac, and gastrointestinal, may be present. 12 individuals from 11 families reported (one inherited variant, affected parent).

Added comment: Immunodeficiency-77 (IMD77) is an immunologic disorder characterized by recurrent and persistent polymicrobial infections with multiple unusual organisms. Skin and pulmonary infections are the most common, consistent with increased susceptibility to epithelial cell infections. The age at onset is highly variable: some patients have recurrent infections from childhood, whereas others present in late adulthood. The limited number of reported patients are all female, suggesting incomplete penetrance or a possible sex-influenced trait. Patient cells, mainly macrophages, show impaired killing of intracellular bacteria and organisms, including nontubercular mycobacteria, although there is also impaired killing of other organisms, such as Pseudomonas, Candida, and Aspergillus.

Four individuals reported, functional data, including animal model.

Mendeliome v0.6531 PERP Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: PERP: Added comment: Four families reported with heterozygous variants and Olmsted syndrome-2 (OLMS2), which is characterised by mutilating hyperkeratotic skin lesions, primarily on the palms and soles, but also extending onto dorsal surfaces of the hands and feet and distal extremities. The lesions are progressive, becoming thicker with verrucous fissures on the palms and soles over time. In addition, affected individuals exhibit perioral hyperkeratosis, and may have lesions around other orifices as well, such as the nostrils, perineum, and anus. Most patients also have hyperkeratotic nails and light-colored woolly hair.

Two families reported with bi-allelic variants and Erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva-7 (EKVP7), which is characterised by palmoplantar keratoderma that extends to the dorsal surface of the hands and feet (transgrediens), as well as erythematous annular skin lesions.

Added comment: Two unrelated patients with different de novo loss of function variants identified in PMID 33417013:

Individual 1: intragenic deletion, phenotype included psychomotor retardation, ID, growth retardation, microcephaly, and facial features reminiscent of 22q deletion syndrome.
Individual 2: canonical splice variant, phenotype mostly confined to ASD

Another two de novo variants were identified in the literature by the authors of that paper, one stop-gain (DDD study, PMID 28135719) and one missense (large autism cohort, PMID 25363760).

PMID 33417013 also showed that HIRA knockdown in mice results in neurodevelopmental abnormalities.

Rated Green due to 4 unrelated individuals (albeit 2 in large cohort studies) and a mouse model. NB: HIRA is within the common 22q deletion region.

Added comment: 5 sibs from a consanguineous family identified to have biallelic deletion encompassing part of the PYCR1 gene and the coding region of the MYADML2 gene.

According to the authors: "All five affected sibs had the most common features of ARCL (autosomal recessive cutis laxa) but not many of the less common ones. We attributed the anomalies not typical for ARCL to MYADML2 deficit, because no other genetic defect possibly a candidate to underlie the skeletal phenotype was found."

Phenotype may still be explained by the PYCR1 deletion alone.

The onset age of seizures was ranged from 6 to 15 months. Patients had different types of seizures, including focal seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures and tonic seizure. One patient showed typical autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms. Electroencephalogram (EEG) findings presented as focal or multifocal discharges, sometimes spreading to generalization. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities were present in each patient. Severe intellectual disability and language and motor developmental disorders were found in our patients, with all patients having poor language development and were nonverbal at last follow-up. All but one of the patients could walk independently in childhood, but the ability to walk independently in one patient had deteriorated with age. All patients had abnormal neurological exam findings, mostly signs of extrapyramidal system involvement.

"The six probands with de novo substitutions affecting Glu206 or Arg284 had a consistent phenotype characterized by severe DD, profound ID, and dystonia. Children were very delayed in establishing head control and none achieved independent walking. Other common findings were cerebellar hypoplasia (five individuals out of six, the other showing uncharacterized severe cerebral atrophy) with a variable degree of corpus callosum hypoplasia. One individual also had bilateral polymicrogyria. Epilepsy was present in three and dystonia in five subjects. Eye involvement was also a common finding, including congenital cataract, retinal dystrophy, and in one case congenital Leber amaurosis. Four individuals were diagnosed with hepatosplenomegaly and/or steatosis. Three subjects had anemia, which was characterized as dyserythropoietic in two. Severe feeding difficulties were present in four individuals, requiring assisted feeding in three. Two had sensorineural deafness. Severe growth retardation, generally for all parameters, was present in most cases. Notably, severe microcephaly (typically with Z scores < −5) was universal. Overall, the disorder seems to have a poor prognosis as two affected individuals died in childhood or early adult life."

Added comment: 8 individuals from 6 unrelated families reported with bi-allelic LOF variants. All presented with almost complete absence of motor and cognitive development, progressive or congenital microcephaly, spastic tetraplegia or dystonia, and vision impairments. For most, the first symptoms included neonatal severe axial hypotonia and epilepsy that started during the first months or years of life. Prenatal symptoms of microcephaly associated with increased thalami echogenicity were detected in one, while the seven other individuals presented with progressive microcephaly. Some exhibited rapidly progressive phenotype and the affected children died in their infancy or middle-childhood. Strikingly, all the affected children had a unique brain MRI showing a mild to severe PCH, fluid-filled posterior fossa, with dilated lateral ventricles. In addition, severe atrophy at the level of the basal ganglia or thalami often associated with typical T2 hypersignal were identified in all the patients MRI.

Supportive functional data showing accumulation of highly phosphorylated inositols, mostly inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), detected in HEK293 cells, fibroblasts, iPSCs and differentiating neurons lacking MINPP1. In mutant cells, higher IP6 level is expected to be associated with an increased chelation of intracellular cations, such as iron or calcium, resulting in decreased levels of available ions.

Added comment: Sterling et al (2020 - PMID: 33073849) provide information on the phenotype of 3 individuals with de novo MPP5 variants.

Common features included global developmental delay, intellectual disability (3/3 - severe in 2/3), speech delay/regression (the latter in at least 2) and behavioral abnormalities. Variable other features were reported, among others microcephaly (1/3), abnormal vision (1/3 : CVI, retinal dystrophy, nystagmus), brain MRI abnormalities (2/3), late-onset seizures (1/3). These subjects displayed variable and non-specific dysmorphic features.

All were investigated by exome sequencing (previous investigations not mentioned).

One subject was found to harbor a de novo mosaic (5/25 reads) stopgain variant, further confirmed by Sanger sequencing [NM_022474.4:c.1555C>T - p.(Arg519Ter). The specific variant is reported once in gnomAD (1/251338). Two de novo missense variants were identified in the remaining individuals [c.1289A>G - p.Glu430Gly / c.974A>C - p.His325Pro). All variants had in silico predictions in favor of a deleterious effect (CADD score >24).

The authors comment that MPP5 encodes an apical complex protein with asymmetric localization to the apical side of polarized cells. It is expressed in brain, peripheral nervous system and other tissues. MPP5 is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase family of proteins (MAGUK p55 subfamily), determining cell polarity at tight junctions.

Previous animal models suggest that complete Mpp5(Pals1) KO in mice leads to near absence of cerebral cortical neurons. Htz KO display reduction in size of cerebral cortex and hippocampus. The gene is expressed in proliferating cell populations of cerebellum and important for establishment cerebellar architecture. Conditional KO of Mpp5(Pals1) in retinal progenitor cells mimics the retinal pathology observed in LCA. [Several refs. provided]

The authors studied a heterozygous CNS-specific Mpp5 KO mouse model. These mice presented microcephaly, decreased cerebellar volume and cortical thickness, decreased ependymal cells and Mpp5 at the apical surface of cortical vertrical zone. The proportion of cortical cells undergoing apoptotic cell death was increased. Mice displayed behavioral abnormalities (hyperactivity) and visual deficits, with ERG traces further suggesting retinal blindness.

Overall the mouse model was thought to recapitulate the behavioral abnormalities observed in affected subjects as well as individual rare features such as microcephaly and abnormal vision.

Haploinsufficiency (rather than a dominant negative effect) is favored as the underlying disease mechanism. This is also in line with a dose dependent effect observed in mice.

Added comment: Palencia-Campos et al (2020 - PMID: 33058759) report on the phenotype of 3 individuals heterozygous for PRKACA and 4 individuals heterozygous for PRKACB pathogenic variants.

The most characteristic features in all individuals with PRKACA/PRKACB mutation, included postaxial polydactyly of hands (6/7 bilateral, 1/7 unilateral) and feet (4/7 bilateral, 1/7 unilateral), brachydactyly and congenital heart defects (CHD 5/7) namely a common atrium or AVSD. Two individuals with PRKACA variant who did not have CHD had offspring with the same variant and an AVSD.

Other variably occurring features included short stature, limbs, narrow chest, abnormal teeth, oral frenula, nail dysplasia. One individual with PRKACB variant presented tumors.

Intellectual disability was reported in 2/4 individuals with PRKACB variant (1/4: mild, 1/4: severe). The 3 individuals with PRKACA variant did not present ID.

As the phenotype was overall suggestive of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (or the allelic Weyers acrofacial dysostosis), although these diagnoses were ruled out following analysis of EVC and EVC2 genes.

WES was carried out in all.

PRKACA : A single heterozygous missense variant was identified in 3 individuals from 3 families (NM_002730.4:c.409G>A / p.Gly137Arg) with 1 of the probands harboring the variant in mosaic state (28% of reads) and having 2 similarly affected offspring. The variant was de novo in one individual and inherited in a third one having a similarly affected fetus (narrow thorax, postaxial polyd, AVSD).

PRKACB : 4 different variants were identified (NM_002731.3: p.His88Arg/Asn, p.Gly235Arg, c.161C>T - p.Ser54Leu). One of the individuals was mosaic for the latter variant, while in all other cases the variant had occurred de novo.

Protein kinase A (PKA) is a tetrameric holoenzyme formed by the association of 2 catalytic (C) subunits with a regulatory (R) subunit dimer. Activation of PKA is achieved through binding of 2 cAMP molecules to each R-subunit, and unleashing(/dissociation) of C-subunits to engage substrates. PRKACA/B genes encode the Cα- and Cβ-subunits while the 4 functionally non-redundant regulatory subunits are encoded by PRKAR1A/1B/2A/2B genes.

The authors provide evidence that the variants confer increased sensitivity of PKA holoenzymes to activation by cAMP (compared to wt).

By performing ectopic expression of wt or mt PRKACA/B (variants studied : PRKACA p.Gly137Arg / PRKACB p.Gly235Arg) in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, the authors demonstrate that inhibition of hedgehog signaling likely underlyies the developmental defects observed in affected individuals.

As for PRKACA, the authors cite another study where a 31-month old female with EvC syndrome diagnosis was found to harbor the aforementioned variant (NM_001304349.1:c.637G>A:p.Gly213Arg corresponding to NM_002730.4:c.409G>A / p.Gly137Arg) as a de novo event. Without additional evidence at the time, the variant was considered to be a candidate for this subject's phenotype (Monies et al 2019 – PMID: 31130284).

--

Connaughton et al (2020 - PMID: 32891193) report on 19 individuals (from 15 unrelated families) with heterozygous pathogenic ZMYM2 variants.

Affected individuals from 7 families presented with CAKUT while all of them displayed extra-renal features. Neurological manifestations were reported in 16 individuals from 14 families (data not available for 1 fam), among others hypotonia (3/14 fam), speech delay (4/14 fam), global DD (9/14 fam), ID (4/14 fam), microcephaly (4/14 fam). ASD was reported in 4 fam (4 indiv). Seizures were reported in 2 fam (2 indiv). Variable other features included cardiac defects, facial dysmorphisms, small hands and feet with dys-/hypo-plastic nails and clinodactyly.

14 pLoF variants were identified, in most cases as de novo events (8 fam). In 2 families the variant was inherited from an affected parent. Germline mosaicism occurred in 1 family.

The human disease features were recapitulated in a X. tropicalis morpholino knockdown, with expression of truncating variants failing to rescue renal and craniofacial defects. Heterozygous Zmym2-deficient mice also recapitulated the features of CAKUT.

ZMYM2 (previously ZNF198) encodes a nuclear zinc finger protein localizing to the nucleus (and PML nuclear body).

It has previously been identified as transcriptional corepressor interacting with nuclear receptors and the LSD1-CoREST-HDAC1 complex. It has also been shown to interact with FOXP transcription factors.

The authors provide evidence for loss of interaction of the truncated ZMYM2 with FOXP1 (mutations in the latter having recently been reported in syndromic CAKUT).

Loss of MTX2 in patients' primary fibroblasts led to loss of Metaxin-1 (MTX1) and mitochondrial dysfunction, including network fragmentation and oxidative phosphorylation impairment. Furthermore, patients' fibroblasts were resistant to induced apoptosis, leading to increased cell senescence and mitophagy and reduced proliferation.

Added comment: Lee et al (2020 - PMID: 32703943) provide evidence that Armfield X-Linked intellectual disability syndrome is caused by monoallelic FAM50A pathogenic variants. The current review is based only on this reference. The authors provide clinical details on 6 affected individuals from 5 families. Features included postnatal growth delay, DD and ID (6/6 - also evident for those without formal IQ assesment), seizures (3/6 from 2 families), prominent forehead with presence of other facial features and variable head circumference (5th to >97th %le), ocular anomalies (5/6 - strabismus/nystagmus/Axenfeld-Rieger), cardiac (3/6 - ASD/Fallot) and genitourinary anomalies (3/6). In the first of these families (Armfield et al 1999 - PMID: 10398235), linkage analysis followed by additional studies (Sanger, NGS of 718 genes on chrX, X-exome NGS - several refs provided) allowed the identification of a FAM50A variant. Variants in other families were identified by singleton (1 fam) or trio-ES (3 fam). In affected individuals from 3 families, the variant had occurred de novo. Carrier females in the other families were unaffected (based on pedigrees and/or the original publication). XCI was rather biased in most obligate carrier females from the 1st family (although this ranged from 95:5 to 60:40). Missense variants were reported in all affected subjects incl. Trp206Gly, Asp255Gly, Asp255Asn (dn), Glu254Gly (dn), Arg273Trp (dn) (NM_004699.3). Previous studies have demonstrated that FAM50A has ubiquitous expression in human fetal and adult tissues (incl. brain in fetal ones). Immunostaining suggests a nuclear localization for the protein (NIH/3T3 cells). Comparison of protein levels in LCLs from affected males and controls did not demonstrate significant differences. Protein localization for 3 variants (transfection of COS-7 cells) was shown to be similar to wt. Complementation studies in zebrafish provided evidence that the identified variants confer partial loss of function (rescue of the morpholino phenotype with co-injection of wt but not mt mRNA). The zebrafish ko model seemed to recapitulate the abnormal development of cephalic structures and was indicative of diminished/defective neurogenesis. Transcriptional dysregulation was demonstrated in zebrafish (altered levels and mis-splicing). Upregulation of spliceosome effectors was demonstrated in ko zebrafish. Similarly, mRNA expression and splicing defects were demonstrated in LCLs from affected individuals. FAM50A pulldown followed by mass spectrometry in transfected HEK293T cells demonstrated enrichment of binding proteins involved in RNA processing and co-immunoprecipitation assays (transfected U-87 cells) suggested that FAM50A interacts with spliceosome U5 and C-complex proteins. Overall aberrant spliceosome C-complex function is suggested as the underlying pathogenetic mechanism. Several other neurodevelopmental syndromes are caused by variants in genes encoding C-complex affiliated proteins (incl. EFTUD2, EIF4A3, THOC2, etc.).

Mendeliome v0.3643 NARS Zornitza Stark gene: NARS was added
gene: NARS was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: NARS was set to BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: NARS were set to 32738225
Phenotypes for gene: NARS were set to Abnormal muscle tone; Microcephaly; Global developmental delay; Intellectual disability; Seizures; Ataxia; Abnormality of the face; Demyelinating peripheral neuropathy
Review for gene: NARS was set to GREEN
Added comment: [Please note that HGNC Approved Gene Symbol for this gene is NARS1] Manole et al (2020 - PMID: 32738225) provide evidence that both biallelic and monoallelic (de novo) pathogenic NARS1 variants cause a neurodevelopmental disorder. In total 32 individuals from 21 families are reported, with biallelic variants identified in individuals from 13 families and de novo in 8 families. Similar features were reported for AR/AD occurrences of the disorder and included microcephaly (90% - most often primary), epilepsy (23/32 or 74% - variable semiology incl. partial/myoclonic/generalized tonic-clonic seizures), DD and ID (as a universal feature), abnormal tone in several (hypotonia/spasticity), ataxia, demyelinating peripheral neuropathy (in 3 or more for each inheritance mode - or a total of 25%). Some individuals had dysmorphic features. NARS1 encodes an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) [asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase 1]. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases constitute a family of enzymes catalyzing attachment of amino-acids to their cognate tRNAs. As the authors comment, mutations in genes encoding several other ARSs result in neurological disorders ranging from peripheral neuropathy to severe multi-systemic NDD. Dominant, recessive or both modes for inheritance for mutations in the same gene (e.g. AARS1, YARS1, MARS1, etc) have been reported. Some variants were recurrent, e.g. the c.1600C>T / p.Arg534* which occurred in 6 families as a de novo event or c.1633C>T p.Arg545Cys (homozygous in 6 families). 3 different variants were reported to have occured de novo (c.965G>T - p.Arg322Leu, c.1525G>A - p.Gly509Ser, p.Arg534*) with several other variants identified in hmz/compound htz individuals. A single SNV (c.1067A>C - p.Asp356Ala) was suggested to be acting as modifier and pathogenic only when in trans with a severe variant. [NM_004539.4 used as RefSeq for all]. The authors provide several lines of evidence for a partial loss-of-function effect (e.g. reduction in mRNA expression, enzyme levels and activity in fibroblasts or iNPCs) underlying pathogenicity of the variants identified in individuals with biallelic variants. A gain-of-function (dominant-negative) effect is proposed for de novo variants (such effect also demonstrated for the p.Arg534* in a zebrafish model).

Mendeliome v0.3539 LARS Zornitza Stark Added comment: Comment when marking as ready: Lenz et al (2020 - PMID: 32699352) review the phenotype of 25 affected individuals from 15 families.

Seizures occurred in 19/24 and were commonly associated with infections. Encephalopathic episodes (in 13 patients) accompanied by seizures up to status epilepticus occurred independently of hepatic decompensation.

In addition 22/24 presented with neurodevelopmental delay. The authors comment that cognitive impairment was present in 13/17 individuals (mild-severe) whereas most presented with learning disabilities.

These patients will most likely investigated for their liver disease (although presentation was highly variable and/or very mild in few).

The gene encodes a cytoplasmic amino-acyl tRNA synthetase (ARS) with neurologic manifestations observed in almost all patients (and seizures / DD and ID common to other disorders due to mutations in other genes encoding for ARSs).

Please note that the HGNC approved symbol for this gene is LARS1.

Added comment: Axl null mice had delayed first oestrus and persistently abnormal oestrous cyclicality compared with wild-type controls. Only a single study reported screening human cases. In a screen of 104 probands with KS or nIHH, four heterozygous AXL mutations were identified in two KS and two nIHH unrelated subjects (two males and two females). Three of the variants appear to be too common in gnomAD v2.1 given the reported prevalence of KS reported in GeneReviews (1:30,000 in males and 1:125,000 in females): c.587-6C>T (normal splicing in RNA studies, NFE AF 0.0001472), p.Q361P (NFE 0.002560), p.L50F (AJ 0.004405). The other variant p.S202C (4 hets, 1 female in gnomAD v2.1) is rare enough in gnomAD for a dominant disorder. In vitro functional assays were conducted and p.S202C had an significant effect on function, but so did the more common variant p.Q361P.

Added comment: One patient with severe global developmental delay, language impairment and epileptic encephalopathy. Homozygous OTUD7A missense variant (c.697C>T, p.Leu233Phe), predicted to alter an ultraconserved amino acid, lying within the OTU catalytic domain. Its subsequent segregation analysis revealed that the parents, presenting with learning disability, and brother were heterozygous carriers. Biochemical assays demonstrated that proteasome complex formation and function were significantly reduced in patient‐derived fibroblasts and in OTUD7A knockout HAP1 cell line. Gene lies in the chromosome 15q13.3 region. Heterozygous microdeletions of chromosome 15q13.3 show incomplete penetrance and are associated with a highly variable phenotype that may include intellectual disability, epilepsy, facial dysmorphism and digit anomalies.

Mendeliome v0.2759 TNRC6B Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: TNRC6B: Added comment: 17 unrelated individuals with heterozygous TNRC6B variants reported. Features included hypotonia (10/17), DD/ID (17/17 - ID was not universal: average IQ of 12 individuals was 73 (range : 50-113) with 4 having below 70), ADHD (11/17), ASD or autistic traits (8/17 and 5/17). Some/few presented with abnormal OFC (micro- / macrocephaly in 3/17 and 2/17), abnormal vision or hearing, variable other congenital anomalies, echocardiographic, GI or renal abnormalities, etc. Epilepsy was reported in 1/17. There was no recognisable gestalt.Detected variants included 14 pLoF, 1 missense SNV and 2 intragenic deletions. Variants had occurred as de novo events in 10/13 subjects for whom testing of both parents was possible. 3/13 subjects had inherited the variant from a parent with milder phenotype. Based on the type of variants identified, the pLI score of 1 in gnomAD and the HI index of 5.61%, the authors suggest haploinsufficiency as the most likely mechanism. Individuals with de novo TNRC6B variants have also been reported in larger cohorts (e.g. DDD study - PMID: 28135719, Iossifov et al - PMID: 25363768, Lelieveld et al - PMID: 27479843, Jónsson et al - PMID: 28959963).

Mendeliome v0.279 GRIA2 Zornitza Stark gene: GRIA2 was added
gene: GRIA2 was added to Mendeliome_VCGS. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: GRIA2 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: GRIA2 were set to 31300657
Phenotypes for gene: GRIA2 were set to Intellectual disability; autism; Rett-like features; epileptic encephalopathy
Review for gene: GRIA2 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 28 unrelated patients with ID, ASD, Rett-like features, seizures/EE, and de novo heterozygous GRIA2 mutations. In functional expression studies, mutations led to a decrease in agonist-evoked current mediated by mutant subunits compared to wild-type channels. When GluA2 subunits are co-expressed with GluA1, most GRIA2 mutations cause a decreased current amplitude and some also affect voltage rectification.
