Added comment: 2 individuals from 2 unrelated consanguineous families presenting with microcephaly, global developmental delay, growth retardation, dysmorphic facial features and congenital cataracts (in one case). Both individuals had the same rare homozygous frameshift variant (c.104delC, p.Ala35Valfs*16) in PEDS1 gene (aka TMEM189). The variant segregated in the family. PEDS1 encodes the plasmanylethanolamine desaturase that catalyzes the final step of plasmalogen biosynthesis. Functional studies show the mutant protein is unstable and undetectable in COS7 cells, and mouse Peds1‑/‑ knockouts display microcephaly and neuroanatomical defects mirroring the human phenotype. Rescue of neuronal migration deficits by RNAi‑resistant wild‑type PEDS1 confirms loss‑of‑function as the disease mechanism.
