Added comment: Fournier et al. described one patient with DiGeorge syndrome with a unique susceptibility to EBV with broad EBV infection and smooth muscle tumors. He was found to have a homozygous missense variant (p.V140G) in TNFSF9 coding for CD137L/4-1BBL, the ligand of the T cell co-stimulatory molecule CD137/4-1BB, whose deficiency predisposes to EBV infection.

They show that CD137LV140G mutant was weakly expressed on patient cells or when ectopically expressed in HEK and P815 cells. Importantly, patient EBV-infected B cells failed to trigger the expansion of EBV-specific T cells, resulting in decreased T cell effector responses. T cell expansion was recovered when CD137L expression was restored on B cells.

Added comment: Four individuals with de novo missense variants within the highly conserved helix-loop-helix domain and seven individuals from five unrelated families with a recurrent homozygous frameshift variant, p.(Gly74Alafs*18).

Individuals presented with absent or limited speech, severely impaired motor abilities, intellectual disability (ID), involuntary movements, autistic traits with stereotypies, abnormal muscle tone. The majority of individuals had partial or complete agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC). Additional symptoms comprised epilepsy, variable dysmorphic features, and eye anomalies. One additional individual had spastic paraplegia without delayed development and ACC, expanding the phenotype to milder and later onset forms.

Mice lacking bhlhe22 show nearly complete loss of three brain comminsure, including the corpus callosum.

Added comment: 5'UTR repeat upstream of RILPL1. Analyses suggest that toxic RNA gain-of-function is the mechanism of disease for the repeat expansion. Distribution of CGG repeat units in RILPL1 ranged from 9 to 16 among 200 normal controls. The size of the CGG repeat ranged from 139 to 197 (169.91 ± 21.82) repeats in 11 unrelated individuals with OPDM. Segregation evidence from 1 family, with 2 affected individuals with the repeat expansion and 1 individual with essential tremor but not OPDM and 86 repeats (intermediate).

158 affected individuals from 22 unrelated families with familial adult myoclonic epilepsy with a heterozygous 5-bp repeat expansion (ATTTC)n in intron 1. Affected individuals had variable expansion of an endogenous (ATTTT)n repeat in addition to the insertion of an abnormal (ATTTC)n repeat, similar molecular finding in other forms of FAME. RNA sequencing from patient derived fibroblasts shows no accumulation of the AUUUU or AUUUC repeat sequences and no effect on STARD7 gene expression, suggesting ATTTC expansions may cause FAME irrespective of the genomic locus involved.

Expanded repeat in NOTCH2NLC sequence is (GGC)9(GGA)2(GGC)2.
Large number of families and sporadic cases reported with expansions, with a range of neurodegenerative phenotypes, including: dementia, Parkinsonism/tremor, peripheral neuropathy, leukoencephalopathy, myopathy, motor neurone disease.

Mechanism of disease is translation of repeat expansion into a toxic polyglycine protein, identified in both mouse models and tissue samples from affected individuals.

No hom in gnomAD and both have been reported in cHet individuals with other features: R321C in association with adult-onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and V236M with rapidly progressive sensorimotor polyneuropathy and microcephaly.

Review for gene: VWA1 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Six different truncating variants identified in 15 affected individuals from six families (biallelic inheritance). Disease manifested in childhood or adulthood with proximal and distal muscle weakness predominantly of the lower limbs. Myopathological and neurophysiological findings were indicative of combined neurogenic and myopathic pathology. Early childhood foot deformity was frequent, but no sensory signs were observed.

An additional 17 individuals from 15 families with hereditary motor neuropathy were identified. A 10-bp repeat expansion at the end of exon 1 was observed in 14 families and was homozygous in 10 of them. This mutation, c.62_71dup [p.Gly25Argfs*74], leads to a frameshift that results in a reduction in VWA1 transcript levels via nonsense-mediated decay.

Added comment: Van Bergen et al (2020 - PMID: 32639540) report on 3 individuals from 2 families, harboring biallelic EXOC2 mutations. Clinical presentation included DD, ID (severe in 2 subjects from fam1, borderline intellectual functioning in fam2), dysmorphic features and brain abnormalities. Cerebellar anomalies were common to all with a molar tooth sign observed in one (1/3). Other findings limited to subjects from one family included acquired microcephaly, congenital contractures, spastic quadriplegia (each observed 2/3). Previous investigations were in all cases non-diagnostic. WES identified biallelic EXOC2 mutations in all affected individuals. EXOC2 encodes an exocyst subunit. The latter is an octameric complex, component of the membrane transport machinery, required for tethering and fusion of vesicles at the plasma membrane. As discussed ,vesicle transport is important for the development of brain and the function of neurons and glia. Exocyst function is also important for delivery of Arl13b to the primary cilium (biallelic ARL13B mutations cause Joubert syndrome 8) and ciliogenesis. Affected subjects from a broader consanguineous family (fam1) were homozygous for a truncating variant. Fibroblast studies revealed mRNA levels compatible with NMD (further restored in presence of CHX) as well as reduced protein levels. The female belonging to the second non-consanguineous family was found to harbor 2 missense variants in trans configuration. An exocytosis defect was demonstrated in fibroblasts from individuals belonging to both families. Ciliogenesis appeared to be normal, however Arl13b localization/recruitment to the cilia was reduced compared with control cells with the defect rescued upon exogenous expression of wt EXOC2. Mutations in other genes encoding components of the exocyst complex have been previously reported in individuals with relevant phenotypes (e.g. EXOC8 in a boy with features of Joubert s. or EXOC4 in nephrotic syndrome). The authors discuss on the essential role of EXOC2 based on model organism studies (e.g. impaired neuronal membrane traffic, failure of neuronal polarization and neuromuscular junction expansion seen in Drosophila Sec5 (EXOC2) null mutants).
