Cardiomyopathy_Paediatric v0.191 GTPBP3 Zornitza Stark gene: GTPBP3 was added
gene: GTPBP3 was added to Cardiomyopathy_Paediatric. Sources: Expert Review
Mode of inheritance for gene: GTPBP3 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: GTPBP3 were set to 34276756; 25434004
Phenotypes for gene: GTPBP3 were set to Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 23 MIM#616198
Review for gene: GTPBP3 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Clinical presentation: early childhood onset of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and/or neurologic symptoms, including hypotonia and delayed psychomotor development. Laboratory investigations are consistent with a defect in mitochondrial function resulting in lactic acidosis, impaired activities of respiratory complexes I and IV, and defective translation of mitochondrial proteins. Brain imaging shows abnormal lesions in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and brainstem.

At least 12 unrelated individuals reported.

Publications for gene: TOR1AIP1 were set to 24856141; 27342937; 32055997; 25425325
Phenotypes for gene: TOR1AIP1 were set to Muscular dystrophy, autosomal recessive, with rigid spine and distal joint contractures, OMIM:617072; Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2Y, MONDO:0014900
Review for gene: TOR1AIP1 was set to GREEN
Added comment: At least 15 affected individuals from 10 families with biallelic variants in this gene. Of these, 7 individuals (5 families) reported in PMID:30723199 harbour the same founder variant presenting a very similar phenotype, and are therefore considered collectively here.

Muscular dystrophy is the prominent feature of the disease presentation observed in at least one case individual each family, but specifically proximal limb-girdle dystrophy was recorded in 4 unrelated kindreds. Additional common features also include joint contractures (4 fam), dilated cardiomyopathy (4 fam), developmental delay (4 fam), and cataracts (3 fam).

Age of onset for cardiomyopathy was variable ranging from childhood to adulthood.

Cardiomyopathy_Paediatric v0.103 JPH2 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: MODERATE evidence by ClinGen working group.

Via ClinGen: Associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 16 probands in 5 publications with some functional evidence in support (expression studies, in vitro assays, animal models).

Conflicting evidence for missense variants in particular: one of the variants p.Gly505Ser is present in >500 individuals in gnomad, including 7 homozygotes, and another novel missense variant was observed in an 86-year-old man, diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in whom echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging strongly suggested amyloidosis to be the underlying cause.; to: Association with HCM: MODERATE evidence by ClinGen working group.

Review for gene: SHMT2 was set to GREEN
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).
