Mendeliome v1.1787 AGTR2 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Variants in AGTR2 have been reported in individuals presenting various neurodevelopmental phenotypes, including intellectual disability, autistic features, epileptic seizures, speech delay, restlessness, and hyperactivity, as early as 2002. Per criteria outlined by the ClinGen Lumping and Splitting Working Group, we found no difference in molecular mechanism, inheritance pattern, or phenotypic variability. Therefore, for the purposes of this curation, all of these features have been lumped into one disease entity, X-linked complex neurodevelopmental disorder. Although eight unique variants, including missense and truncating, have been reported in affected humans, the majority (six) have been ruled out from disease-causality based on high frequency in control populations (Piton et al., PMID 23871722), occurrence in unaffected males (Erdmann et al., PMID 14722754), non-segregation within a family (Bienvenu et al., PMID 12746399), and lack of enrichment in patients in a case-control study (Huang et al., PMID 16283672). Given that the two remaining variants are missense with no supporting functional evidence, and AGTR2 was the only gene sequenced in each case, the ClinGen Intellectual Disability and Autism Working Group recommended awarding 0 points for these variants. There are two AGTR2 mouse models which collectively show altered neuronal spine morphology, spatial memory impairment, delayed learning, and reduced exploratory behavior (PMIDs 18335189 and 7477267).

Added comment: 11 individuals reported, 9 that carried 8 different rare heterozygous missense variants in CLCN3, and 2 siblings that were homozygous for an NMD-predicted frameshift variant likely abolishing ClC-3 function. All missense variants were confirmed to be de novo in eight individuals for whom parental data was available.

The 11 individuals in the cohort share clinical features of variable severity. All 11 have GDD or ID and dysmorphic features, and a majority has mood or behavioural disorders and structural brain abnormalities:
- Structural brain abnormalities on MRI (9/11) included partial or full agenesis of the corpus callosum (6/9), disorganized cerebellar folia (4/9), delayed myelination (3/9), decreased white matter volume (3/9), pons hypoplasia (3/9), and dysmorphic dentate nuclei (3/9). Six of those with brain abnormalities also presented with seizures.
- Nine have abnormal vision, including strabismus in four and inability to fix or follow in the two with homozygous loss-of-function variants.
- Hypotonia ranging from mild to severe was reported in 7 of the 11 individuals.
- Six have mood or behavioural disorders, particularly anxiety (3/6).
- Consistent dysmorphic facial features included microcephaly, prominent forehead, hypertelorism, down-slanting palpebral fissures, full cheeks, and micrognathia.

The severity of disease in the two siblings with homozygous disruption of ClC-3 is consistent with the drastic phenotype seen in Clcn3 KO mice. The disease was more severe in two siblings carrying homozygous loss-of-function variants with the presence of GDD, absent speech, seizures, and salt and pepper fundal pigmentation in both individuals, with one deceased at 14 months of age. The siblings also had significant neuroanatomical findings including diffusely decreased white matter volume, thin corpora callosa, small hippocampi, and disorganized cerebellar folia. Supporting biallelic inheritance for LoF variants, disruption of mouse Clcn3 results in drastic neurodegeneration with loss of the hippocampus a few months after birth and early retinal degeneration. Clcn3−/− mice display severe neurodegeneration, whereas heterozygous Clcn3+/− mice appear normal.

Patch-clamp studies were used to investigate four of the missense variants. These suggested a gain of function in two variants with increased current in HEK cells, however they also showed reduced rectification of voltage and a loss of transient current, plus decreased current amplitude, glycosylation and surface expression when expressed in oocytes, and were suspected to interfere with channel gating and a negative feedback mechanism. These effects were also shown to vary depending on pH levels. The current of the remaining two variants did not differ from WT. For heterozygous missense variants, the disruption induced may be at least partially conferred to mutant/WT homodimers and mutant/ClC-4 heterodimers.

Both loss and gain of function in this gene resulted in the same phenotype.

Added comment: Nine individuals with mono-allelic de novo or inherited variants in KDM4B.

All individuals presented with dysmorphic features and global developmental delay (GDD) with language and motor skills most affected. Three individuals had a history of seizures, and four had anomalies on brain imaging ranging from agenesis of the corpus callosum with hydrocephalus to cystic formations, abnormal hippocampi, and polymicrogyria.

In a knockout mouse the total brain volume was significantly reduced with decreased
size of the hippocampal dentate gyrus, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, and ventriculomegaly.
