Review for gene: SUPT7L was set to RED
Added comment: 1 case with generalised lipodystrophy, growth retardation, congenital cataracts, severe developmental delay and progeriod features. Trio WGS identified compound heterozygous variants in SUPT7L (missense causing abnormal splicing + frameshift). Variants validated with Sanger. SUPT7L encodes a component of the core structural module of the STAGA complex - a nuclear multifunctional protein complex that plays a role in various cellular processes (e.g. transcription factor binding, protein acetylation, splicing, and DNA damage control). Immunolabelling in fibroblasts from patient showed complete absence of SUPT7L protein. Transcriptome data from individual revealed downregulation of several gene sets associated with DNA replication, DNA repair, cell cycle, and transcription.

Added comment: Only variants affecting the canonical splice acceptor site of intron 5 (e.g. c.515-1G-T, c.515-2A-T) that cause skipping of exon 6 and the polyA termination signal of PRDX1 produce an MMACHC epimutation. The resulting read-through transcript extends through the adjacent MMACHC locus in the antisense orientation. These PRDX1 exon 6 acceptor splice site variants cause disease through digenic inheritance with a pathogenic MMACHC on the other allele.

Review for gene: TUBA4A was set to AMBER
Added comment: One novel TUBA4A variant in two unrelated Chinese patients with sporadic congenital myopathy.

Identified candidate genes using laser capture micro dissection, proteomics, WES, clinical data, myopathological changes, electrophysiological exams and thigh muscle MRIs.

The variant is de novo in both patients, c.679C>T, p.(Leu227Phe). The prominent myopathological changes in both patients were muscle fibres with focal myofibrillar disorganisation and rimmed vacuoles. Immunofluorescence showed ubiqution-positive TUBA4A protein aggregates in the muscle fibres with rimmed vacuoles. Overexpression of Leu227Phe resulted in cytoplasmic aggregates which colocalised with ubiquitin in cellular model.

Patient 1 is 14yo and had delayed motor development milestones since infancy. Myopathic face, high-arched palate, waddling gait, winged scapula and muscle weakness in four limbs with lower extremities and proximal muscle more severely affected. Follow up at 14yo showed slight improvement in motor function compared with 3yo.

Patient 2 is 6yo and presented with motor retardation since birth. At 3yo, presented with mild ptosis and ophthalmoparesis, high-arched palate and muscle weakness involving both proximal and distal in all limbs.

No likely pathogenic variants in 116 other protein-encoding genes. Variants confirmed by Sanger sequencing and absent from gnomAD. ACMG predicts likely pathogenic classification.

Added comment: 5 unrelated families reported with recessively inherited cerebral small vessel disease had compound hetereozygous or homozygous variants in NIT1. 1 family (3 siblings) had p.(Ala68*) in trans with p.(Arg243Trp), the remaining 4 families (1 individual each) were all homozygous for p.(Arg243Trp).

Patients presented in mid-adulthood with progressive movement disorders (e.g. dystonia, chorea, bradykinesia and tremor, gait disturbance, dysarthria) and had abnormal brain MRI findings (honeycomb appearance of the basal ganglia-thalamus complex, due to numerous strongly dilated PVS). 3 patients had non-lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. Slowly progressive cognitive decline was also a key feature.

Metabolic analysis in urine confirmed loss of NIT1 enzymatic function.

Note p.(Arg243Trp) has 1 homozygote in gnomAD v4, but permitted due to later presentation in reported patients.

Added comment: Proband presented to genetics clinic at 27 years of age with BMI -3.4SD, height -2.7SD, head circumference -1.8SD. She had mild intellectual delay and clinical features of a congenital, nonprogressive myopathy with moderate proximal and distal weakness. X-rays showed skeletal dysplasia, including cervical thoracic scoliosis and lumbar scoliosis. She was reported as having had weakness at birth with poor suck, micrognathia, hypotonia, and talipes. She was documented to have significant motor delay as a child. MRI of the brain demonstrated large posterior fossa CSF spaces.

Biallelic SOX8 variants biallelic (NM_014587.3:c.422+5G>C; c.583dup p.(His195ProfsTer11)) were identified by WGS. The +5 variant was shown to affect splicing, while the frameshift variant resulted in production of low-level truncated protein (not NMD predicted). Functional studies on patient fibroblasts showed misregulation of downstream SOX8 targets.

Added comment: Single patient with severe disease secondary to B. pseudomallei requiring ECMO. Adjunctive IFN-γ administration as replacement for its failed induction by IL-18 promptly led to clearance of B. pseudomallei and subsequent weaning of support. Novel homozygous missense mutation in CASP4, at exon 7 c.1030C > T. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of the patient and her parents showed reduced IFN-γ production, notably to IL-12 stimulation, and decreased IL-18 in response to LPS and increased IL-1B. Cloned cells show impacts on CASP4 activation and pyroptosis.

Added comment: Report a de novo heterozygous NAA30 nonsense variant c.244C>T, p.(Gln82*) in a 5yo boy with GDD, ASD, hypotonia, seizures, tracheal cleft and recurrent respiratory infections. Seizures resolved after two weeks of life. Family history of ASD in older sister. Epilepsy in mother, childhood onset.

Biochemical studies performed to assess the functional impact of the premature stop codon on catalytic activity. The variant was found to completely disrupt N-terminal acetyltransferase activity using an in vitro acetylation assay.

Variant de novo, “in a gene sensitive to loss of heterozygosity”. Limitation of study - have not established whether this gene variant acts in a dominant or recessive manner.

Mendeliome v1.992 ANO1 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: ANO1: Added comment: PMID 37253099: screening analysis of Moyamoya disease (MMD) cohort revealed 8 individuals with variants in the ANO1 gene. Two families had the same rare variant p.Met658Val. The ANO1 rare variants were assessed using patch-clamp recordings, and the majority of variants, including ANO1 p.Met658Val, displayed increased sensitivity to intracellular Ca2+. Patients harboring these gain-of-function ANO1 variants had classic features of MMD, but also had aneurysm, stenosis, and/or occlusion in the posterior circulation.

Added comment: ESHG 2023:
10 individuals from 7 families with biallelic variants in NAA60 (missense and framshift).
All with primary brain calcification - 4/10 childhood onset (DD, ID), 6/10 adult onset (cerebellar and pyramidal dysfunction, dystonia, parkinsonism, cognitive impairment, psychiatric manifestations).

NAA60 catalyses N-terminal acetylation of transmembrane proteins and localises to Golgi apparatus. In vitro assay of variants showed reduced capacity of Nt acetylation. Fibroblast studies showed significantly reduced levels of phosphate importer (SLC20A2). Loss of function variants in SLC20A2 (~50% of PFBC cases) lead to increased extracellular phosphate (which is thought to lead to calcium deposits in brain).

Review for gene: RAB34 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Oral-facial-digital syndromes (OFDS) are a group of clinically and genetically heterogenous disorders characterised by defects in the development of the face and oral cavity along with digit anomalies. Pathogenic variants in >20 genes encoding ciliary proteins have been found to cause OFDS.

Identified by WES biallelic missense variants in a novel disease-causing ciliary gene RAB34 in four individuals from three unrelated families (aided by GeneMatcher).

Affected individuals presented a novel form of OFDS accompanied by cardiac, cerebral, skeletal (eg. Shortening of long bones), and anorectal defects.

RAB34 encodes a member of the Lab GTPase superfamily and was recently identified as a key mediator of ciliary membrane formation. Protein products of pathogenic variants clustered near the RAB34 C-terminus exhibit a strong loss of function.

Onset is prenatal (multiple developmental defects including short femur, polydactyly, heart malformations, kidney malformations, brain malformations), resulting in medical termination for three probands.

In the fourth, the only one alive at birth, proband born at 39+5 weeks, normal growth parameters after pregnancy with polyhydramnios, corpus callosum agenesis and polydactyly. Respiratory distress at birth.

All four probands presented typical features of ciliopathy disorders, overlapping with oral, facial and digital abnormalities.

All with homozygous missense variants. All absent in gnomAD (in homozygous state). Sanger sequencing confirmed mode of inheritance.

Review for gene: RPH3A was set to GREEN
Added comment: PMID: 37403762- 6 patients with RPH3A variant. All 6 have ID, 4 have epilepsy, 2 with obesity, 1 with dysmorphic features. All 6 have missense variants, 3 shown to be de novo, the other 3 parents were not available for testing. I patient also had language and motor impairment, breathing issues and mixed hypo/hypertonia- he also had variants in CUL4B, PRKAG2, SCN4A, none of these genes cause seizures (which he had).

Patch clamp studies on 2 of the missense showed they increased either the number of NMDA receptors on neuron membrane surface or increased their conductance. Study suggests that the variants interrupt the normal role of RPH3A activity at the synaptic NMDAR complex which is needed for the induction of synaptic plasticity and NMDAR-dependant behaviours

Previously this gene was reported in PMID: 29441694- 1 girl with learning disabilities, tremors, ataxia, hyperglycemia and muscle fatigability. Chet for 2 RPH3A missense. Functional analysis showed strong and marginal impairment of protein binding for each variant. this is the only biallelic report currently.

Added comment: PMID: 34779126: 3 x females with infertility with biallelic MOS variants identified. Using oocyte-specific Erk1/2 knockout mice, they verified that MOS-ERK signal pathway inactivation in oocytes caused early embryonic arrest and fragmentation.

PMID: 34997960: 2 x females with biallelic MOS variants. Functional studies showed a reduction of protein for two of these variants (missense and frameshift). Functional studies also showed these variants reduced the ability of MOS to phosphorylate its downstream target, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2.

PMID: 35670744 1 x additional family (twins) with infertility and abnormal oocyte morphology with large first polar body. Functional studies showed the MOS variants could not activate MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 in oocytes and HEK293 cells. In addition, functional studies also showed when compared with wild-type MOS, the MOS variants decreased the MOS protein level and attenuated the binding capacity with MEK1.

PMID: 36403623 1 x female with primary infertility, patient’s oocytes had a large polar body and poor embryonic development, hom missense variant in MOS identified.

Review for gene: CCDC84 was set to AMBER
Added comment: PMID: 34009673- patients with constitutional mosaic aneuploidy were found to have biallelic mutations in CENATAC(CCDC84). 2 adult siblings with mosaic aneuploidies, microcephaly, dev delay, and maculopathy. Both chet for a missense and a splice site deletion- but the paper days these both result in the creation of a novel splice site that leads to frameshifts and loss of the c-terminal 64 amino acids.

Gene is shown to be part of a spliceosome. CENATAC depletion or expression of disease mutants resulted in retention of introns in ~100 genes enriched for nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle regulation, and caused chromosome segregation errors.

Functional analysis in CENATAC-depleted HeLa cells demonstrated chromosome congression defects and subsequent mitotic arrest, which could be fully rescued by wildtype but not mutant CENATAC. Expression of the MVA-associated mutants exacerbated the phenotype, suggesting that the mutant proteins dominantly repress the function of any residual wildtype protein.

Added comment: Missense alleles altering p.Arg1034, a highly evolutionarily conserved amino acid, in 3 unrelated and ethnically diverse families affected by congenital glaucoma.

Thbs1R1034C-mutant mice had elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), reduced ocular fluid outflow, and retinal ganglion cell loss. Histology revealed an abundant, abnormal extracellular accumulation of THBS1 with abnormal morphology of juxtacanalicular trabecular meshwork (TM), an ocular tissue critical for aqueous fluid outflow. Functional characterization showed that the THBS1 missense alleles found in affected individuals destabilized the THBS1 C-terminus, causing protein misfolding and extracellular aggregation. Analysis using a range of amino acid substitutions at position R1034 showed that the extent of aggregation was correlated with the change in protein-folding free energy caused by variations in amino acid structure.

Added comment: Cornière et al. 2022 (PMID: 35115415) identified a single family with a heterozygous missense VUS (c.1519C>T/p.R507W) in the SLC26A6 gene. However, the variant was found in 5 out of 280 674 alleles reported in gnomAD (Europeans and South Asians). In vitro studies showed that the variant affects both SLC26A6 transport activity and membrane surface expression, in turn reducing Cl− dependant oxalate transport. Cotransfection studies indicated a dominant-negative effect on WT. Slc26a6 null mice similarly displayed hyperoxalemia and hyperoxaluria which were caused by defective intestinal back-secretion of dietary oxalate (PMID: 21170874; 32660969)

SLC26A6 is currently not associated with any human phenotype in OMIM or G2P.

Phenotypes for gene: GABRA3 were set to Epilepsy, intellectual disability, dysmorphic features,
Penetrance for gene: GABRA3 were set to Incomplete
Review for gene: GABRA3 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Six variants in GABRA3 encoding the alpha3-subunit of the GABA(A) receptor.
Five missense variants and one micro duplication were detected in four families and two sporadic cases presenting with a range of epileptic seizure types, a varying degree of intellectual disability and developmental delay, sometimes with dysmorphic features or nystagmus.
The variants co-segregated mostly but not completely with the phenotype in the families, indicating in some cases incomplete penetrance, involvement of other genes, or presence of phenocopies.
Overall, males were more severely affected and there were three asymptomatic female mutation carriers compared to only one male without a clinical phenotype.
Mechanism suggested - three detected missense variants are localised in the extracellular GABA-binding NH2-terminus, one in the M2-M3 linker and one in the M4 transmembrane segment of the alpha3-subunit. Functional studies in Xenopus leaves oocytes revealed a variable but significant reduction of GABA-evoked anion currents for all mutants compared to wild-type receptors. The degree of current reduction correlated partially with the phenotype.
Results reveal that rare loss-of-function variants in GABRA3 increase the risk for a varying combination of epilepsy, intellectual disability/developmental delay and dysmorphic features, presenting in some pedigrees with an X-linked inheritance pattern.

Added comment: Dias et al (2022 - PMID: 35916866) describe the phenotype of 11 unrelated individuals with monoallelic de novo (or suspected de novo) missense (N=9) or truncating (N=2) ZMYND8 variants. One of these subjects was previously reported by Suzuki et al (2020 - PMID: 32530565).

Features included speech delay/language difficulties (9/11), motor delay (9/11), ID (in 10/11 - profound in 1, moderate in 2), CHD (7/11 - PDA, VSD, ASD, pulmonary stenosis, etc), hearing or vision impairment (7/11). Seizures were reported in few (in text 5/11, table 2/11). Variable non-familial facial features were present in (9/11).

As the authors discuss, ZMYND8 encodes a multidomain protein playing a role in transcription regulation, chromatin remodeling, regulation of super enhancers, DNA damage response/tumor suppression.

The protein is broadly expressed in brain and shows highest expression in early development.

Molecular modeling and/or a yeast two-hybrid system were suggestive of disrupted interaction of ZMYND8 with Drebrin (missense variants in PWWP domain) or GATAD2A (variants in MYND domain).

Neuronal Zmynd8 knockdown in Drosophila resulted in deficits in habituation learning.

Added comment: Homozygosity mapping on one large consanguineous Bedouin kindred showed three affected children (out of the ten) to be homozygous for NM_002802.3:c.983T>C; p.(Ile328Thr).

Drosophila rescue experiments were carried out. Transgenic studies using drosophila with the silenced ortholog Rpt2 gene were rescued by the human wild-type PSMC1.

Three of the ten offspring of healthy consanguineous parents of Bedouin Israeli ancestry were affected with a similar phenotype of failure to thrive, developmental delay and severe intellectual disability, spastic tetraplegia with central hypotonia, chorea, as well as hearing loss. None of the three achieved verbal communication or ambulation (sitting / standing) at any age. They had mild dysmorphism of borderline dolichocephaly and microcephaly, prominent bushy eyebrows, flat midface, long nasal bridge and micrognathia. All three had micropenis with undescended testes. One of the affected (as a toddler) underwent thorough endocrinological analysis: testosterone and gonadotropin levels were low.

Mendeliome v0.13172 SH3BP2 Zornitza Stark commented on gene: SH3BP2: Cherubism is characterized by a loss of bone, restricted to the jaws, and by the replacement of this bone with fibrous tissues, leading to facial swelling. Involvement of the infraorbital rim and the orbital floor leads to the upward tilting of the eyeballs and consequent exposure of the inferior part of the sclerae, giving a 'cherubic' appearance. Submandibular lymph node enlargement is often reported. Functional impairment includes mastication and speech problems, tooth alterations, and loss of normal vision. Onset of the disease is usually between 14 months and 4 years of age. The disease progresses through puberty, then stabilizes, and in some cases regresses without treatment.

Exome and genome sequencing identified 2 different homozygous variants in NAA20 gene (p.Met54Val and p.Ala80Val), and segregated with affected individuals. N-terminal acetyltransferases modify proteins by adding an acetyl moiety to the first amino acid and are vital for protein and cell function. The NatB complex acetylates 20% of the human proteome and is composed of the catalytic subunit NAA20 and the auxiliary subunit NAA25. Both NAA20-M54V and NAA20-A80V were impaired in their capacity to form a NatB complex with NAA25, and in vitro acetylation assays revealed reduced catalytic activities toward different NatB substrates.

A single missense variant (absent gnomAD) identified in two SQTS families. In family 1, it segregated with SQTS (QTc<370ms) in 23 carriers, and 19 non-carriers had a QTc>370ms. In family 2, it segregated in 4 individuals. Experimental evidence from in vitro and zebrafish models suggests reduced membrane localization of the mutated protein leads to intracellular alkalinization and shortening of the cardiomyocyte action potential duration.

Added comment: Dworschak et al. (2021) via WES reported 10 patients from 7 families with biallelic (n=7) or de novo (n=3) PLXNA1 variants. Shared phenotypic features include global developmental delay (9/10), brain anomalies (6/10), and eye anomalies (7/10). Seizures were predominantly reported in patients with monoallelic variants. Zebrafish studies showed an embryonic role of plxna1a in the development of the central nervous system and the eye. Biallelic variants in the extracellular Plexin-A1 domains lead to impaired dimerization or lack of receptor molecules, whereas monoallelic variants in the intracellular Plexin-A1 domains might impair downstream signaling through a dominant-negative effect.

Mendeliome v0.8861 IGF2 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: RSS phenotype.; to: Silver-Russell syndrome-3 (SRS3) is characterized by intrauterine growth retardation with relative macrocephaly, followed by feeding difficulties and postnatal growth restriction. Dysmorphic facial features include triangular face, prominent forehead, and low-set ears. Other variable features include limb defects, genitourinary and cardiovascular anomalies, hearing impairment, and developmental delay. Disruption of any gene in the HMGA2-PLAG1-IGF2 pathway results in a decrease in IGF2 expression and produces an SRS phenotype similar to that of patients carrying 11p15.5 epigenetic defects.

Begemann et al. (2015) performed exome sequencing in 4 affected people with severe growth restriction in one family, and identified a heterozygous nonsense mutation in the IGF2 gene that segregated fully with the disorder. Affected individuals inherited the mutation from their healthy fathers, and it originated from the healthy paternal grandmother. Clinical features occurred only in those who inherited the variant allele through paternal transmission, consistent with maternal imprinting of IGF2.

Many other cases reported since with de novo mutations in IGF2 present on the paternal allele.
Mendeliome v0.8853 PLAG1 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: PLAG1: Added comment: Additional families reported, upgrade to Green.

Silver-Russell syndrome-4 (SRS4) is characterised by intrauterine growth retardation followed by feeding difficulties and postnatal growth restriction. Dysmorphic facial features include triangular face and prominent forehead, and relative macrocephaly at birth may be observed. So far 4 families have been reported with some functional studies of the role of the gene in the growth pathway.

Abi Habib et al. (2018) reported 1 family (child, sister and mother) patient with Silver-Russell syndrome (with normal methylation on chromosomes 7, 11, and 14, and exclusion of maternal UPD and chromosomal rearrangements). Using WES they identified a heterozygous 1-bp deletion in the PLAG1 gene. The variant segregated with disease, and was not present in polymorphism databases or ExAC. They also reported another patient with a different heterozygous 1-bp deletion in the PLAG1 gene. This was not found in her unaffected twin brother, older brother, or parents. Experiments in Hep3b cells demonstrated that PLAG1 positively regulates expression of the IGF2 promoter P3, independently and via the HMGA2-PLAG1-IGF2 pathway. Disruption of any gene in the pathway results in a decrease in IGF2 expression and produces an SRS phenotype similar to that of patients carrying 11p15.5 epigenetic defects (SRS1; 180860), except for body asymmetry, which is not expected to occur since the molecular defects are present in all cells of the body, unlike the mosaic epigenetic changes at the 11p15.5 locus.

Inoue et al. (2020) reported 1 family with 2 affected people with Silver-Russell syndrome with a nonsense variant in the PLAG1 gene, which segregated with disease.

Added comment: Altuame et al (2021 - PMID: 34327814) describe 3 individuals from 2 consanguineous Arab families with biallelic PLXNA2 variants.

The index patient from the 1st family presented with CHD (hypoplastic right ventricle, ASD), DD and moderate ID (IQ of 40), failure to thrive as well as some dysmorphic features (obtuse mandibular angle, mild overbite, synophrys with downslanting p-f, strabismus, etc). There were additional features (eg. postaxial polydactyly) which were found in other affected and unaffected family members.

Exome sequencing with autozygome analysis revealed homozygosity for a PLXNA2 stopgain variant (NM_025179:c.3603C>A / p.(Cys1201*)).

Sanger confirmation was carried out and segregation analyses confirmed carrier status of the unaffected parents and a sib as well as a brother homozygous for the same variant. Clinical evaluation of the latter, following this finding revealed borderline intellectual functioning, ADHD, failure to thrive. There was no mandibular anomaly or overbite and no clinical evidence of CHD (no echo performed).

The index patient from the 2nd consanguineous family was evaluated for ID (IQ of 63), with previous borderline motor development, ADHD and some dysmorphic features (obtuse mandibular angle and overbite). There was no clinical evidence of CHD (no echo performed).

Exome sequencing with autozygosity mapping revealed a homozygous missense PLXNA2 variant (c.3073G>A / p.(Asp1025Asn), present only once in gnomAD (htz), with rather non-concordant in silico predictions SIFT 0.22, PolyPhen 0.682 and CADD 23.5. The aa was however highly conserved.

Segregation analysis confirmed carrier state of the parents and 2 unaffected sibs, with a 3rd sib homozygous for the wt allele.

As the authors discuss:
*PLXNA2 belongs to the plexin family of genes, encoding transmbembrane proteins functioning as semaphorin receptors. It has predominant expression in neural tissue. The protein is thought to bind semaphorin-3A, -3C or -5 followed by plexin A2 dimerization, activation of its GTPase-activating protein domain, negative regulation of Rap1B GTPase and initiation of a signal transduction cascade mediating axonal repulsion/guidance, dendritic guidance, neuronal migration.
*Murine Plxna2 knockout models display structural brain defects. In addition they display congenital heart defects incl. persistent truncus arteriosus and interrupted aortic arch.
*Rare CNVs in adult humans with tetralogy of Fallot have suggested a potential role of PLXNA2 in cardiac development and CHD.
*Expression and the role of PLXNA2 in human chondrocytes as well as a GWAS in 240 japanese patients with mandibular prognathism where PLXNA2 was suggested as a susceptibility locus.

Overall, the authors recognize some common features (as for cognitive functioning, some dysmorphic features incl. obtuse mandibular angle and overbite in 2 unrelated subjects, failure to thrive 3/3) and provide plausible explanations for the variability / discordance of others eg:
- Cyanotic heart disease explaining discordance in cognitive outcome among sibs
- Incomplete penetrance for CHD (and/or ID or mandibular anomaly) as for few AR disorders and/or
- Additional pathogenic variants possibly explaining the CHD in the first subject.

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM or G2P. SysID includes PLXNA2 among the candidate ID genes.

Dias et al (2021 - PMID: 34003604) describe the phenotype of 11 unrelated individuals harboring de novo missense/truncating TCF7L2 variants.

Features included DD in childhood (motor delay in 8/11, speech delay in 11/11), intellectual abilities ranging from average cognitive functioning to mild/moderate ID (the latter observed in 5/11), myopia (6/11) , dysmorphic features, variable orthopedic findings, and neuropsychiatric comorbidities incl. ASD (4/11) / ADHD (4/11).

One additional (12th) individual was excluded from this summary due to concurrent diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic injury.

TCF7L2 on 10q25 encodes transcription factor 7-like 2, a high mobility group (HMG) box-containing transcription factor. As the authors discuss, the protein mediates canonical Wnt signaling. Secreted Wnt proteins lead to release of beta-catenin (CTNNB1) which after translocation to the nucleus acts with DNA-binding factors incl. TCF7L2 to turn on Wnt-responsive target genes. As a result TCF7L2 acts with beta-catenin as a switch for transcriptional regulation. Multiple alternative spliced TCF7L2 transcripts mediate it's function and specificity of transcriptional repertoire in a variety of tissues and contexts.

Dias et al provide references for its role in nervous system development incl. neurogenesis and thalamic development.

Variants in all cases occurred as de novo events with pLoF (stopgain, frameshift, splicing) ones predicted to lead to NMD. Missense variants occurred in all cases in or adjacent to the HMG box domain [aa 350-417]. 5 different missense variants affecting 3 residues were reported incl. c.1142A>C, c.1143C>G (leading to Asn381Thr/Lys respectively), c.1250G>T (Trp417Leu), c.1267T>C, c.1268A>G (leading to Tyr423His/Cys) [NM_001146274.1].

The gene has a pLI of 0.99-1 gnomAD/ExAC while there is a region of missense constraint encompassing the HMG box domain (the latter is an evolutionary conserved region mediating interactions with DNA).

No phenotypic differences were observed among individuals with pLoF and missense SNVs, and haploinsufficiency is presumed to be the underlying mechanism.

There are no variant or other studies performed, nor any animal models discussed.

In supplementary table 2, the authors provide several references to previous large scale sequencing studies with brief/incomplete descriptions of individuals de novo TCF7L2 variants and neurodevelopmental disorder (ID/ASD - Iossifov, De Rubeis, Lelieveld, McRae/DDD study and many other Refs).

Heterozygous TCF7L2 variants are thought to confer susceptibility to type diabetes mellitus (MIM 125853). Individuals reported by Dias et al did not have endocrine abnormalities including DM. A study by Roychowdhury et al (2021 - PMID: 34265237) suggests that regulatory variants in TCF7L2 are associated with thoracic aneurysm.

- Nine have abnormal vision, including strabismus in four and inability to fix or follow in the two with homozygous loss-of-function variants.
- Hypotonia ranging from mild to severe was reported in 7 of the 11 individuals.
- Six have mood or behavioural disorders, particularly anxiety (3/6).
- Consistent dysmorphic facial features included microcephaly, prominent forehead, hypertelorism, down-slanting palpebral fissures, full cheeks, and micrognathia.

The severity of disease in the two siblings with homozygous disruption of ClC-3 is consistent with the drastic phenotype seen in Clcn3 KO mice. The disease was more severe in two siblings carrying homozygous loss-of-function variants with the presence of GDD, absent speech, seizures, and salt and pepper fundal pigmentation in both individuals, with one deceased at 14 months of age. The siblings also had significant neuroanatomical findings including diffusely decreased white matter volume, thin corpora callosa, small hippocampi, and disorganized cerebellar folia. Supporting biallelic inheritance for LoF variants, disruption of mouse Clcn3 results in drastic neurodegeneration with loss of the hippocampus a few months after birth and early retinal degeneration. Clcn3−/− mice display severe neurodegeneration, whereas heterozygous Clcn3+/− mice appear normal.

Patch-clamp studies were used to investigate four of the missense variants. These suggested a gain of function in two variants with increased current in HEK cells, however they also showed reduced rectification of voltage and a loss of transient current, plus decreased current amplitude, glycosylation and surface expression when expressed in oocytes, and were suspected to interfere with channel gating and a negative feedback mechanism. These effects were also shown to vary depending on pH levels. The current of the remaining two variants did not differ from WT. For heterozygous missense variants, the disruption induced may be at least partially conferred to mutant/WT homodimers and mutant/ClC-4 heterodimers.

Both loss and gain of function in this gene resulted in the same phenotype.

Added comment: Semino et al (2021 - PMID: 34157790) provide clinical details on 3 unrelated individuals with de novo SYNCRIP variants and provide a review of 5 additional subjects previously identified within large cohorts in the literature and databases.

Features included DD, ID (7/7 for whom this information was available), ASD or autistic features (4/7). MRI abnormalities were observed in 3 (widening of CSF spaces, periventricular nodular heterotopia, prominent lat. ventricles). Epilepsy (myoclonic-astatic epilepsy / Doose syndrome) was reported for 2(/8) individuals.

The 3 patients here reported were identified following trio/singleton exome with Sanger confirmation of the variants and their de novo occurrence.

Variants are in almost all cases de novo (7/7 for whom this was known) and in 5/8 cases were pLoF, in 2/8 missense SNVs while a case from DECIPHER had a 77.92 kb whole gene deletion not involving other genes with unknown inheritance.

Overall the variants reported to date include [NM_006372.5]:

SYNCRIP (also known as HNRNPQ) encodes synaptotagmin‐binding cytoplasmic RNA‐interacting protein. As the authors note, this RNA-binding protein is involved in multiple pathways associated with neuronal/muscular developmental disorders. Several references are provided for its involvement in regulation of RNA metabolism, among others sequence recognition, pre-mRNA splicing, translation, transport and degradation.

Mutations in other RNA-interacting proteins and hnRNP members (e.g. HNRNPU, HNRNPD) are associated with NDD.

The missense variant (p.Leu245Pro) is within RRM2 one of the 3 RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains of the protein. These 3 domains, corresponding to the central part of the protein (aa 150-400), are relatively intolerant to variation (based on in silico predictions and/or variation in gnomAD). Leu245 localizes within an RNA binding pocket and in silico modeling suggests alteration of the tertiary structure and RNA-binding capacity of RRM2.

There are no additional studies performed.

Overall haploinsufficiency appears to be the underlying disease mechanism based on the truncating variants and the gene deletion. [pLI in gnomAD : 1, %HI : 2.48%]

Animal models are not discussed.

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM. This gene is included in the DD panel of G2P (monoallelic LoF variants / SYNCRIP-related developmental disorder). SysID also lists SYNCRIP within the current primary ID genes.

Mendeliome v0.8011 ADA2 Zornitza Stark commented on gene: ADA2: Vasculitis, autoinflammation, immunodeficiency, and haematologic defects syndrome (VAIHS) is an autosomal recessive multisystem disorder with onset in childhood. The phenotype is highly variable, but most patients have features of a systemic vascular inflammatory disorder with skin ulceration and recurrent strokes affecting the small vessels of the brain resulting in neurologic dysfunction. Other features may include recurrent fever, elevated acute-phase proteins, myalgias, lesions resembling polyarteritis nodosa, and/or livedo racemosa or reticularis with an inflammatory vasculitis on biopsy. Some patients may have renal and/or gastrointestinal involvement, hypertension, aneurysms, or ischemic necrosis of the digits. Some affected individuals have immunodeficiency.

Added comment: Screened 216 patients with Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism by exome sequencing. Identified 7 individuals from 5 families with hemizygous PLXNA3 missense variants. In 2 of the kindreds, there was at least one more gene known to be associated with IHH (oligogenecity). Data provided with evidence that PLXNA3, a key component of the SEMA3F holoreceptor complex,31 is expressed by the human GnRH and olfactory/vomeronasal systems. S646P variant showed PLXNA3 localization exclusively in the ER, indicating that the variant S646P disrupts cell surface localization of PLXNA3.

- PMID: 29016857 (2017) - Homozygosity mapping of disease loci combined with WES in a single male from a consanguineous family presenting with lethal AMC revealed a homozygous frameshift deletion in UNC50 gene (c.750_751del:p.Cys251Phefs*4). Functional studies in C. elegans showed the variant caused loss of acetylcholine receptor expression in the muscle.

- PMID: 33820833 (2021) - Single individual reported with the same homozygous c.750_751del:p.Cys251Phefs*4 variant in UNC50 as previously described. The case was identified from a cohort of 315 genetically undiagnosed and unrelated AMC families. Arthrogryposis and tetra ventricular dilation were detected prenatally.

-- Note: it isn't definitively clear whether these are different individuals. Both are singleton males born to consanguineous parents, with the same variant and similar phenotype. Also both infants died at 28 w.g. However, the 2021 paper (PMID:33820833) states their patient was selected from a cohort of cases without a molecular diagnosis and indicate the UNC50 gene had already previously been identified in relation to this phenotype, highlighting the earlier paper (PMID:29016857). There is also no mention of tetra ventricular dilation in the first case, so it is likely that these do represent distinct individuals. Additional cases needed to provide clarity.

Added comment: Immunodeficiency-77 (IMD77) is an immunologic disorder characterized by recurrent and persistent polymicrobial infections with multiple unusual organisms. Skin and pulmonary infections are the most common, consistent with increased susceptibility to epithelial cell infections. The age at onset is highly variable: some patients have recurrent infections from childhood, whereas others present in late adulthood. The limited number of reported patients are all female, suggesting incomplete penetrance or a possible sex-influenced trait. Patient cells, mainly macrophages, show impaired killing of intracellular bacteria and organisms, including nontubercular mycobacteria, although there is also impaired killing of other organisms, such as Pseudomonas, Candida, and Aspergillus.

Four individuals reported, functional data, including animal model.

Added comment: 8 individuals from 6 unrelated families reported with bi-allelic LOF variants. All presented with almost complete absence of motor and cognitive development, progressive or congenital microcephaly, spastic tetraplegia or dystonia, and vision impairments. For most, the first symptoms included neonatal severe axial hypotonia and epilepsy that started during the first months or years of life. Prenatal symptoms of microcephaly associated with increased thalami echogenicity were detected in one, while the seven other individuals presented with progressive microcephaly. Some exhibited rapidly progressive phenotype and the affected children died in their infancy or middle-childhood. Strikingly, all the affected children had a unique brain MRI showing a mild to severe PCH, fluid-filled posterior fossa, with dilated lateral ventricles. In addition, severe atrophy at the level of the basal ganglia or thalami often associated with typical T2 hypersignal were identified in all the patients MRI.

Supportive functional data showing accumulation of highly phosphorylated inositols, mostly inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), detected in HEK293 cells, fibroblasts, iPSCs and differentiating neurons lacking MINPP1. In mutant cells, higher IP6 level is expected to be associated with an increased chelation of intracellular cations, such as iron or calcium, resulting in decreased levels of available ions.

Added comment: Sterling et al (2020 - PMID: 33073849) provide information on the phenotype of 3 individuals with de novo MPP5 variants.

Common features included global developmental delay, intellectual disability (3/3 - severe in 2/3), speech delay/regression (the latter in at least 2) and behavioral abnormalities. Variable other features were reported, among others microcephaly (1/3), abnormal vision (1/3 : CVI, retinal dystrophy, nystagmus), brain MRI abnormalities (2/3), late-onset seizures (1/3). These subjects displayed variable and non-specific dysmorphic features.

All were investigated by exome sequencing (previous investigations not mentioned).

One subject was found to harbor a de novo mosaic (5/25 reads) stopgain variant, further confirmed by Sanger sequencing [NM_022474.4:c.1555C>T - p.(Arg519Ter). The specific variant is reported once in gnomAD (1/251338). Two de novo missense variants were identified in the remaining individuals [c.1289A>G - p.Glu430Gly / c.974A>C - p.His325Pro). All variants had in silico predictions in favor of a deleterious effect (CADD score >24).

The authors comment that MPP5 encodes an apical complex protein with asymmetric localization to the apical side of polarized cells. It is expressed in brain, peripheral nervous system and other tissues. MPP5 is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase family of proteins (MAGUK p55 subfamily), determining cell polarity at tight junctions.

Previous animal models suggest that complete Mpp5(Pals1) KO in mice leads to near absence of cerebral cortical neurons. Htz KO display reduction in size of cerebral cortex and hippocampus. The gene is expressed in proliferating cell populations of cerebellum and important for establishment cerebellar architecture. Conditional KO of Mpp5(Pals1) in retinal progenitor cells mimics the retinal pathology observed in LCA. [Several refs. provided]

The authors studied a heterozygous CNS-specific Mpp5 KO mouse model. These mice presented microcephaly, decreased cerebellar volume and cortical thickness, decreased ependymal cells and Mpp5 at the apical surface of cortical vertrical zone. The proportion of cortical cells undergoing apoptotic cell death was increased. Mice displayed behavioral abnormalities (hyperactivity) and visual deficits, with ERG traces further suggesting retinal blindness.

Overall the mouse model was thought to recapitulate the behavioral abnormalities observed in affected subjects as well as individual rare features such as microcephaly and abnormal vision.

Haploinsufficiency (rather than a dominant negative effect) is favored as the underlying disease mechanism. This is also in line with a dose dependent effect observed in mice.

Gold et al (2020 - PMID: 33009664) report 5 individuals with CSNK1G1 variants, including updated information on a previously reported subject (Martin et al 2014 - PMID: 24463883).

Features included DD (5/5) with associated expressive language delay, ASD (in at least 3/5), seizures (2/5), dysmorphic facial features (4/5 arched eyebrows, 3/5 prominent central incisors, 2/5 epicanthus) and limb anomalies (2/5 - proximally placed thumb, 5th f. clinodactyly, asymmetric overgrowth - the other individual had tapering fingers). GI problems were observed in 4/5. Two individuals had macrocephaly and one had microcephaly. There was no formal developmental assessment although ID might be implied in at least 3 individuals (p1: 20y - single words/regression in walking following a seizure episode, p2: 8y - first words at 5y, assistance to feed, dress and bathe, ASD, p4: 13y - regression, assistance to feed and dress).

CSNK1G1 encodes the gamma-1 isoform of casein kinase 1, a protein involved in growth and cell morphogenesis. The gene has ubiquitous expression, incl. brain. As commented, in brain it regulates phosphorylation of NMDA receptors, playing a role in synaptic transmission (4 articles cited).

One individual had a 1.2 kb deletion spanning exon 3 of CSNK1G1 [chr15:64550952-64552120 - GRCh37]. Parental samples were unavailable for this individual. Four individuals were found to harbor de novo CSNK1G1 variants [NM_022048.3: c.688C>T - p.(Arg230Trp) dn | c.1255C>T - p.(Gln419*) dn | c.1214+5G>A dn with in silico predictions in favor of splice disruption | c.419C>T - p.(Thr140Met) dn].

Arg230Trp is however present once in gnomAD. The stopgain variant is located in the last exon and predicted to skip NMD.

There were no variant studies performed.

The Drosophila gish gene encodes a CK1γ homolog with preferential expression in the mushroom body. Heterozygous and homozygous mutants exhibit impairment in memory retention, more severe in homozygous flies. gish was also identified as a seizure modifier in a fly epilepsy model (heterozygous para mt flies).

Added comment: García‑Cazorla et al. (2020 - PMID: 33015733) report 5 individuals (from 4 families) with a novel brain and heart developmental syndrome caused by biallelic SHMT2 pathogenic variants.

All affected subjects presented similar phenotype incl. microcephaly at birth (5/5 with OFC < -2 SD though in 2/5 cases N OFC was observed later), DD and ID (1/5 mild-moderate, 1/5 moderate, 3/5 severe), motor dysfunction in the form of spastic (5/5) paraparesis, ataxia/dysmetria (3/4), intention tremor (in 3/?) and/or peripheral neuropathy (2 sibs). They exhibited corpus callosum hypoplasia (5/5) and perisylvian microgyria-like pattern (4/5). Cardiac problems were reported in all, with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 4/5 (from 3 families) and atrial-SD in the 5th individual (1/5). Common dysmorphic features incl. long palpebral/fissures, eversion of lateral third of lower eylids, arched eyebrows, long eyelashes, thin upper lip, short Vth finger, fetal pads, mild 2-3 toe syndactyly, proximally placed thumbs.

Biallelic variants were identified following exome sequencing in all (other investigations not mentioned). Identified variants were in all cases missense SNVs or in-frame del, which together with evidence from population databases and mouse model might suggest a hypomorphic effect of variants and intolerance/embryonic lethality for homozygous LoF ones.

SHMT2 encodes the mitohondrial form of serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The enzyme transfers one-carbon units from serine to tetrahydrofolate (THF) and generates glycine and 5,10,methylene-THF.

Mitochondrial defect was suggested by presence of ragged red fibers in myocardial biopsy of one patient. Quadriceps and myocardial biopsies of the same individual were overall suggestive of myopathic changes.

While plasma metabolites were within N range and SHMT2 protein levels not significantly altered in patient fibroblasts, the authors provide evidence for impaired enzymatic function eg. presence of the SHMT2 substrate (THF) in patient but not control (mitochondria-enriched) fibroblasts , decrease in glycine/serine ratios, impared folate metabolism. Patient fibroblasts displayed impaired oxidative capacity (reduced ATP levels in a medium without glucose, diminished oxygen consumption rates). Mitochondrial membrane potential and ROS levels were also suggestive of redox malfunction.

Shmt2 ko in mice was previously shown to be embryonically lethal attributed to severe mitochondrial respiration defects, although there was no observed brain metabolic defect.

The authors performed Shmt2 knockdown in motoneurons in Drosophila, demonstrating neuromuscular junction (# of satellite boutons) and motility defects (climbing distance/velocity).

Added comment: [Please note that HGNC Approved Gene Symbol for this gene is NARS1] Manole et al (2020 - PMID: 32738225) provide evidence that both biallelic and monoallelic (de novo) pathogenic NARS1 variants cause a neurodevelopmental disorder. In total 32 individuals from 21 families are reported, with biallelic variants identified in individuals from 13 families and de novo in 8 families. Similar features were reported for AR/AD occurrences of the disorder and included microcephaly (90% - most often primary), epilepsy (23/32 or 74% - variable semiology incl. partial/myoclonic/generalized tonic-clonic seizures), DD and ID (as a universal feature), abnormal tone in several (hypotonia/spasticity), ataxia, demyelinating peripheral neuropathy (in 3 or more for each inheritance mode - or a total of 25%). Some individuals had dysmorphic features. NARS1 encodes an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) [asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase 1]. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases constitute a family of enzymes catalyzing attachment of amino-acids to their cognate tRNAs. As the authors comment, mutations in genes encoding several other ARSs result in neurological disorders ranging from peripheral neuropathy to severe multi-systemic NDD. Dominant, recessive or both modes for inheritance for mutations in the same gene (e.g. AARS1, YARS1, MARS1, etc) have been reported. Some variants were recurrent, e.g. the c.1600C>T / p.Arg534* which occurred in 6 families as a de novo event or c.1633C>T p.Arg545Cys (homozygous in 6 families). 3 different variants were reported to have occured de novo (c.965G>T - p.Arg322Leu, c.1525G>A - p.Gly509Ser, p.Arg534*) with several other variants identified in hmz/compound htz individuals. A single SNV (c.1067A>C - p.Asp356Ala) was suggested to be acting as modifier and pathogenic only when in trans with a severe variant. [NM_004539.4 used as RefSeq for all]. The authors provide several lines of evidence for a partial loss-of-function effect (e.g. reduction in mRNA expression, enzyme levels and activity in fibroblasts or iNPCs) underlying pathogenicity of the variants identified in individuals with biallelic variants. A gain-of-function (dominant-negative) effect is proposed for de novo variants (such effect also demonstrated for the p.Arg534* in a zebrafish model).

Added comment: Motta et al (2020 - PMID: 32721402) report on 7 unrelated individuals harboring de novo missense MAPK1 pathogenic variants.

The phenotype corresponded to a neurodevelopmental disorder and - as the authors comment - consistently included DD, ID , behavioral problems. Postnatal growth delay was observed in approximately half. Hypertelorism, ptosis, downslant of palpebral fissures, wide nasal bridge as low-set/posteriorly rotated ears were among the facial features observed (each in 3 or more subjects within this cohort). Together with short/webbed neck and abnormalities of skin (lentigines / CAL spots) and growth delay these led to clinical suspicion of Noonan s. or disorder of the same pathway in some. Congenital heart defects (ASD, mitral valve insufficiency, though not cardiomyopathy) occurred in 4/7. Bleeding diathesis and lymphedema were reported only once.

MAPK1 encodes the mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (also known as ERK2) a serine/threonine kinase of the RAS-RAF-MEK-(MAPK/)ERK pathway.

MAPK1 de novo variants were identified in all individuals following trio exome sequencing (and extensive previous genetic investigations which were non-diagnostic).

The distribution of variants, as well as in silico/vitro/vivo studies suggest a GoF effect (boosted signal through the MAPK cascade. MAPK signaling also upregulated in Noonan syndrome).

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).

Added comment: One extended multiplex consanguineous family with Erythrokeratoderma (striking similarity to that observed in Perp −/− mice), and a novel homozygous variant (c.466G>A; p.Gly156Arg) in PERP that fully segregated with the phenotype. Functional analysis of patient‐ and control‐derived keratinocytes revealed a deleterious effect of the identified variant on the intracellular localization of PERP. A previous report showed that PERP mutation causes a dominant form of keratoderma but a single patient in that report with a homozygous variant in PERP suggests that recessive inheritance is also possible.

Patient lymphocytes and fibroblasts showed variably decreased levels of cell surface GPI-anchored proteins, including CD16 and CD59. In vitro functional expression studies performed with some of the mutations in PIGB-null CHO cells showed that the mutant proteins were unable to fully restore expression of GPI-anchored surface proteins, consistent with a loss of function, although the mutations had variable effects.

Added comment: 3 unrelated patients with de novo heterozygous missense mutations in GABRA5 gene. In vitro functional expression studies in HEK293 cells showed that the mutant subunit was expressed at the surface and incorporated into the channel, but the mutant channel was 10 times more sensitive to GABA compared to wildtype. This increased sensitization resulted in increased receptor desensitization to GABA, with a reduced maximal GABA-evoked current and impaired capacity to pass GABAergic chloride current.
