Added comment: PMID:29555651 reported a family with four consecutive cases of late fetal loss at gestational ages between 17 and 35 weeks. The fetuses showed prenatal abnormalities including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), microcephaly, craniofacial anomalies, sex reversal in male fetuses, and congenital heart defects. A homozygous inactivating variant in SIRT6 gene (c.187G > C; p.(Asp63His)) was identified by WES in the four fetuses.

There is also functional data available from in vitro studies, SIRT6 D63H mouse embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from D63H homozygous foetuses. There is also functional evidence available from several other studies including PMID:30135584, where CRISPR-Cas9-based approach was used to generate a SIRT6-null cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) model. SIRT6-deficient monkeys died hours after birth and exhibited severe prenatal developmental retardation.
