Mendeliome v1.2228 P2RY8 Zornitza Stark gene: P2RY8 was added
gene: P2RY8 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: P2RY8 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: P2RY8 were set to 34889940
Phenotypes for gene: P2RY8 were set to Systemic lupus erythematosus, MONDO:0007915, P2RY8-related
Review for gene: P2RY8 was set to AMBER
Added comment: One de novo variant, p.Leu257Phe, absent from gnomAD v4 identified in an individual with early-onset SLE.

Subsequent search for additional individuals in large cohorts identified:
p. Asn97Lys, inherited from mother, present in 19 individuals in gnomADv4.
p.Glu323Gly identified in 6 Chinese individuals, inheritance not determined, present in 51 individuals in gnomADv4.

Functional data support the role of the gene in immune tolerance. Role in contributing to the development of SLE is plausible, though not necessarily under a monogenic model.

Mendeliome v1.1922 OAS2 Zornitza Stark gene: OAS2 was added
gene: OAS2 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: OAS2 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: OAS2 were set to 36538032
Phenotypes for gene: OAS2 were set to Multisystem inflammatory syndrome, MONDO:0035375, OAS2-related
Review for gene: OAS2 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 3x unrelated patients with MIS-C after COVID infection. Patients displayed excessive inflammatory responses to intracellular dsRNA, SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-2–infected cells, and their RNA, providing a plausible mechanism for MIS-C. Similar presentation to OAS1 and RNASEL. Functional data.

Mendeliome v0.8824 PLXNA2 Zornitza Stark gene: PLXNA2 was added
gene: PLXNA2 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: PLXNA2 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: PLXNA2 were set to 34327814
Phenotypes for gene: PLXNA2 were set to Intellectual disability; Abnormality of the face; Failure to thrive; Abnormal heart morphology
Review for gene: PLXNA2 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Altuame et al (2021 - PMID: 34327814) describe 3 individuals from 2 consanguineous Arab families with biallelic PLXNA2 variants.

The index patient from the 1st family presented with CHD (hypoplastic right ventricle, ASD), DD and moderate ID (IQ of 40), failure to thrive as well as some dysmorphic features (obtuse mandibular angle, mild overbite, synophrys with downslanting p-f, strabismus, etc). There were additional features (eg. postaxial polydactyly) which were found in other affected and unaffected family members.

Exome sequencing with autozygome analysis revealed homozygosity for a PLXNA2 stopgain variant (NM_025179:c.3603C>A / p.(Cys1201*)).

Sanger confirmation was carried out and segregation analyses confirmed carrier status of the unaffected parents and a sib as well as a brother homozygous for the same variant. Clinical evaluation of the latter, following this finding revealed borderline intellectual functioning, ADHD, failure to thrive. There was no mandibular anomaly or overbite and no clinical evidence of CHD (no echo performed).

The index patient from the 2nd consanguineous family was evaluated for ID (IQ of 63), with previous borderline motor development, ADHD and some dysmorphic features (obtuse mandibular angle and overbite). There was no clinical evidence of CHD (no echo performed).

Exome sequencing with autozygosity mapping revealed a homozygous missense PLXNA2 variant (c.3073G>A / p.(Asp1025Asn), present only once in gnomAD (htz), with rather non-concordant in silico predictions SIFT 0.22, PolyPhen 0.682 and CADD 23.5. The aa was however highly conserved.

Segregation analysis confirmed carrier state of the parents and 2 unaffected sibs, with a 3rd sib homozygous for the wt allele.

As the authors discuss:
*PLXNA2 belongs to the plexin family of genes, encoding transmbembrane proteins functioning as semaphorin receptors. It has predominant expression in neural tissue. The protein is thought to bind semaphorin-3A, -3C or -5 followed by plexin A2 dimerization, activation of its GTPase-activating protein domain, negative regulation of Rap1B GTPase and initiation of a signal transduction cascade mediating axonal repulsion/guidance, dendritic guidance, neuronal migration.
*Murine Plxna2 knockout models display structural brain defects. In addition they display congenital heart defects incl. persistent truncus arteriosus and interrupted aortic arch.
*Rare CNVs in adult humans with tetralogy of Fallot have suggested a potential role of PLXNA2 in cardiac development and CHD.
*Expression and the role of PLXNA2 in human chondrocytes as well as a GWAS in 240 japanese patients with mandibular prognathism where PLXNA2 was suggested as a susceptibility locus.

Overall, the authors recognize some common features (as for cognitive functioning, some dysmorphic features incl. obtuse mandibular angle and overbite in 2 unrelated subjects, failure to thrive 3/3) and provide plausible explanations for the variability / discordance of others eg:
- Cyanotic heart disease explaining discordance in cognitive outcome among sibs
- Incomplete penetrance for CHD (and/or ID or mandibular anomaly) as for few AR disorders and/or
- Additional pathogenic variants possibly explaining the CHD in the first subject.

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM or G2P. SysID includes PLXNA2 among the candidate ID genes.
