PMID 30237576 Maddirevula et al 2019 - report homozygous nonsense variant in a proband with dysmorphic facies, microcephaly, ptosis and contractures. No antenatal information provided.

PMID 31129566 Ewans et al 2019 - report 3 affected siblings with a Stickler-syndrome like disorder.
- Patient 1 had congenital nystagmus and presented with hearing loss and myopia. On examination aged 2, noted to have dysmorphic features - prominent eyes, hypertelorism, malar hypoplasia, an upturned nose, low-set ears and microretrognathia.
- Patient 2 noted to have camptodactyly and clinodactyly postnatally. On examination age 5 noted to have DIP joint contractures and mild skin syndactyly.
- Patient 3 - breech delivery. bilateral hand foot camptodactyly, facial dysmorphism.
- No antenatal features reported.

PMID 30463024 Vahidnehzad et al 2019 - report a male proband from a consanguineous Iranian Baloch family referred for assessment age 4.5. Noted to have developmental delay, musculoskeletal manifestations including scoliosis, flexion contractions, cutaneous syndactyly, right diaphragmatic eventration, ocular anomalies, growth failure and skin blisters. No concerns antenatally. Postnatally noted to have cataract and facial dysmorphism (midface hypoplasia). Homozygous PLOD3 missense variant identified, parents unaffected carriers. PLOD3 mRNA levels in the patient’s fibroblasts measured by whole-transcriptome sequencing and confirmed by RT-PCR, were the same as in control cells, however, the expression of type VII collagen was reduced significantly. No antenatal features reported.

PMID: 18834968 Salo et al 2008 - a female proband with significant IUGR, characteristic craniofacial profile, diaphragm eventration, skeletal anomalies (bilateral talipes equinovarus, flexion contractures, scoliosis from age 7), skin anomalies incl blistering and ocular anomalies. One 28 week male stillborn sibling noted to have significant IUGR and skeletal anomalies on post-mortem. Supportive functional evidence. Compound het PLOD3 variants.

Fetal anomalies v0.3693 HDAC4 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Contradictory evidence: deletions linked to brachydactyly-MR but note some individuals reported without MR. Only two reports of intragenic variants (still structural rather than SNVs).; to: Contradictory evidence: deletions linked to brachydactyly-MR but note some individuals reported without MR.

Subtle brain abnormalities, hip dislocation reported in PMID 33537682.
Fetal anomalies v0.2951 G6PD Krithika Murali gene: G6PD was added
gene: G6PD was added to Fetal anomalies. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: G6PD was set to X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, monoallelic mutations in females may cause disease (may be less severe, later onset than males)
Publications for gene: G6PD were set to 1316704; 26279483; 18177777; 17825683; 1127504; 7472841
Phenotypes for gene: G6PD were set to Haemolytic anaemia, G6PD deficient (300908)
Review for gene: G6PD was set to AMBER
Added comment: Well-known association with G6PD deficiency. Borderline red-amber gene for fetal anomalies. However, as features of anaemia can sometimes be detected in fetus antenatally and therapeutic/maternal trigger avoidance options available, I have favoured amber rating.

PMID: 26279483 Keller et al 2015 - report a mother who is a carrier for a G6PD variant (Guadalajara variant) with a family history of a brother and paternal uncle who died as neonates from severe hydrops. She was counselled to avoid substances that could precipitate oxidative stress from 22 weeks gestation onwards. During her first pregnancy, a male fetus was found to have mild cardiomegaly at 31 weeks with elevated MCAPSV - suggestive of anaemia. Intrauterine transfusion instituted. Presence of maternally inherited G6PD variant confirmed in the fetus.

There are other case reports of hydrops fetalis presumed secondary to G6PD deficiency but evidence is limited..

4999390; 1127504 - older studies, no genomic confirmation available.

4999390 Perkins et al 1971 - Mother presumed to be a carrier for G6PD deficiency and all 3 babies presumed to have the same
- 1st child neonatal jaundice with abnormal G6PD test result and death at 59 days of life from undetermined cause
- 2nd pregnancy - mother given sulfizoxazole for UTI during pregnancy, delivered stillborn infant at 36 weeks with hydrops fetalis and severe anaemia
- 3rd child - well, neonatal jaundice and abnormal G6PD test.

Mother O neg blood group, all three babies +ve blood group, DAT -ve and RhoGam given each pregnancy.

1127504 - Mentzer and Collier et al 1975
Male infant died at 2 hours of life with evidence of haemolysis and autopsy findings of hydrops. G6PD screening test in baby abnormal. Mother had low-normal G6PD activity, abnormal ascorbate cyanide test, abnormal MTT cytochemical however no abnormal migrating band of G6PD activity was present on electrophoresis. URTI episode during pregnancy, ascorbic acid consumption and fava bean consumption noted. G6PD deficiency presumed in mother and infant but not genomically confirmed.

23719252; 24999569 - Two case reports identified. However, a second diagnosis was present in both and the G6PD deficiency may have contributed to severity rather than being the primary factor.

Fetal anomalies v0.2539 TRPM7 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: 4 variants identified in a stillbirth cohort. Some supportive evidence that these variants alter channel function.; to: 4 variants identified in a stillbirth cohort.

Ion channel expressed in the nervous and cardiac systems. The variant associated with ALS/dementia in the Guam population, p.Thr1482Ile is present in >23,000 hets in gnomad, which is out of keeping for a rare Mendelian disorder. Note recent publication associating missense variants with cardiac arrhythmia and stillbirth, with some functional data provided to substantiate effect of variant on protein function but not necessarily establish gene-disease association.
