Added comment: 4 fetuses (TOP/deceased) from 4 consanguineous unrelated families with a clinical diagnosis of Meckel-Gruber syndrome. Clinical features includes: encephalocele (4/4), enlarged/cystic kidneys (4/4), and postaxial polydactyly (1/4). WES identified 3 homozygous variants (p.(Glu2Serfs*58); p.(Pro123Thrfs*9); and p.(Pro123Arg)).

They also reported a 5th consanguineous family with 3 affected fetuses with clinical diagnosis of Meckel-Gruber syndrome. Both parents were heterozygote carriers of a TMEM17 variant (p.(Glu2Serfs*58)) but biological material from the fetuses was not available.

No functional studies performed. However, TMEM17 is a critical component of a protein complex in the basal body at the base of cilia. Knockdown of Tmem17 via small interfering RNA has been shown to have a modest effect on cilia formation, but significantly reduces the amount of the somatostatin receptor Sstr3 (182453) that localizes to cilia.
