Added comment: PMID: 40856104 Bratman, S. et al 2025 (Genetics in Medicine) report 10 individuals from 8 unrelated families of Ashkenazi Jewish descent with a homozygous missense founder variant in TBCB (c.589T>A, p.Tyr197Asn) identified through exome sequencing. This variant is present at 1.3% carrier frequency in the AJ population in gnomAD v4 with 0 homozygotes. Variant is reasonably well-conserved, REVEL 0.9 and in the Cap-Gly domain. No other homozygous missense variants in this region in gnomAD v4 and homozygous variants rare, overall.

Phenotypic features included:
- Motor/speech delays in infancy (almost all)
- ASD (8/10)
- ADHD (5/10)
- Mild ID - formal cognitive evaluation (5/8).
- Spastic paraparesis in late childhood (9-12y) with slowly progressive gait difficulties and lower limb spasticity. Urinary abnormalities were not reported.
- Brain MRI was performed on five individuals - three displayed a thin corpus callosum,
and two had decreased white matter.

No prenatal features reported.

Supportive Drosophilia models.

Leukodystrophy v0.298 BORCS8 Lauren Rogers changed review comment from: 3 unrelated families with five affected children with homozygous or compound heterozygous loss of function missense and PTC variants. 5/5 hypotonia, failure to thrive, global developmental delay, profound intellectual disability, muscle weakness and atrophy, dysmorphic features. 3/5 with microcephaly, 3/5 with seizures, 4/5 with spasticity, 3/5 with scoliosis, 4/4 with optic atrophy.

HEK293T cells show the missense variants are expressed at normal levels but exhibit reduced assembly with other BORC subunits and reduced ability to drive lysosome distribution. The BORCS8 PTC frameshift variant is expressed at lower levels and is completely incapable of assembling with other BORC subunits and promoting lysosome distribution. Zebrafish KO of the orthologous brocs8 causes decreased brain and eye size, neuromuscular anomalies and impaired locomotion, recapitulating some of the key traits of the human disease.

Review for gene: GPRC5B was set to GREEN
Added comment: PMID: 37143309
Cohort of 5 patients with an MRI based diagnosis of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC). 3 unrelated patients had variants in GPRC5B, 2 have the same inframe dup Ile175dup and the third has an in frame dup of Ala177. All 3 were de novo and unaffected siblings did not have the variants. All patients have macrocephaly, delayed motor development, seizures, all had varying degrees of cognitive deficits. 2 also had spasticity, ataxia and dystonia. MRI showed MLC, abnormal and swollen cerebral white matter.

Patient cell lines showed reduced regulatory volume decrease, and western blot showed a strong increase in GRPC5B levels in patient lymphoblasts. Together, these findings indicate disturbed volume regulation in lymphoblasts from patients with GPRC5B variants, potentially due to increased GPRC5B levels. Transfected cells caused increased volume-regulated anion channel activity.

Added comment: Ichthyotic keratoderma, spasticity, hypomyelination, and dysmorphic features (IKSHD) is characterized by epidermal hyperproliferation and increased keratinization, resulting in ichthyosis; hypomyelination of central white matter, causing spastic paraplegia and central nystagmus; and optic atrophy, resulting in reduction of peripheral vision and visual acuity. Affected individuals have mild facial dysmorphism.

Same two individuals reported in two publications. Both had the same variant, p.S165F, which arose de novo, suggesting the residue is important in pathogenesis. Mouse model.

Some patients presented immunological deficits or genito-urinary abnormalities. Western blotting and immunofluorescence showed decreased PI4KA levels in the patients' fibroblasts. Immunofluorescence and targeted lipidomics indicated that PI4KA activity was diminished in fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Mode of inheritance for gene: RNF220 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal

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.
