gene: SNF8 was added to Callosome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: SNF8 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: SNF8 were set to 38423010
Phenotypes for gene: SNF8 were set to Severe developmental delay, epileptic encephalopathy, brain MRI abnormality; intellectual disability, childhood-onset optic atrophy, ataxia
Review for gene: SNF8 was set to GREEN
gene: SNF8 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: PMID: 38423010
- Nine individuals from six families presenting with a spectrum of neurodevelopmental/neurodegenerative features caused by bi-allelic variants in SNF8. In total, three putative LoF variants and four missense variants were identified.
- The phenotypic spectrum included four individuals with severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, massive reduction of white matter, hypo-/aplasia of the corpus callosum, neurodevelopmental arrest, and early death. A second cohort shows a milder phenotype with intellectual disability, childhood-onset optic atrophy, or ataxia. All mildly affected individuals shared the same hypomorphic variant, c.304G>A (p.Val102Ile) as compound heterozygous.
- Functional studies using fibroblasts derived from patients and zebrafish model showed LoF is the disease mech.

Callosome v0.507 ZEB1 Suliman Khan changed review comment from: PMID: 37857482 reported nine individuals from 6 unrelated families with anomalies of the corpus callosum. All reported patients had normal schooling and none of them had ID. In five cases, the variant was inherited from a parent with a normal corpus callosum, which illustrated the incomplete penetrance of anomalies of the corpus callosum in individuals with a loss of function in ZEB1 gene. Additional symptoms reported in the patients were: two patients had a bicornuate uterus, three had a cardiovascular anomaly and four had macrocephaly at birth.; to: PMID: 37857482 reported nine individuals from 6 unrelated families with anomalies of the corpus callosum.

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: YWHAE was set to GREEN
Added comment: PMID 36999555 reports 10 patients, including 8 new individuals and 2 follow-up individuals with heterozygous YWHAE variants (3 splice site variants, 2 intragenic deletions and 10 large deletions encompassing YWHEA but not PAFAH1B1), who developed neurodevelopmental disease with brain abnormalities. The paper also references 5 patients from the following publications:
PMID 20452996 reports a patient with a YWHAE variant (deletion encompassing YWHEA but not PAFAH1B1) who had neurodevelopmental disease with brain abnormalities and developmental delay.
PMID 19584063 reports a patient with a YWHAE variant (deletion encompassing YWHEA but not PAHAF1B1) who had brain abnormalities and developmental delay. (Patients 2-5 with YWHAE deletions also presented developmental delay and brain abnormalities.)
PMID 20599530 reports a patient with a YWHAE variant (deletion encompassing YWHEA but not PAHAF1B1) who had brain abnormalities and developmental delay.
PMID 28542865 reports a patient with a YWHAE variant (intragenic deletion) who had myoclonic epilepsy and dysgraphia and learning disability related to mathematics. CT scan noted a Chiari Malformation Type I (CM), thin corpus callosum, cavum septum pellucidum and cavum vergae, but the patient's general and neurological exams were normal.
PMID 29458882 reports a fetus with a YWHAE variant (deletion encompassing YWHEA but not PAHAF1B1) who had facial dysmorphisms. The parents decided to terminate the pregnancy so detailed information regarding brain CT and development is not available. Although the authors concluded that the fetus did not have brain abnormalities, PMID 36999555 concludes that this patient had microcephaly (the last supplementary table).

gene: USP14 was added to Callosome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: USP14 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: USP14 were set to PMID: 35066879
Phenotypes for gene: USP14 were set to Distal arthrogryposis, corpus callosum anomalies, and dysmorphic features; no OMIM #
Review for gene: USP14 was set to RED
Added comment: 3 fetuses from 2 different branches of a consanguineous family, presenting with distal arthrogryposis, underdevelopment of the corpus callosum, and dysmorphic facial features. Exome sequencing identified a biallelic 4-bp deletion (c.233_236delTTCC; p.Leu78Glnfs*11) in USP14, and sequencing of family members showed segregation with the phenotype. Ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14) encodes a major proteasome-associated deubiquitinating enzyme with an established dual role as an inhibitor and an activator of proteolysis, maintaining protein homeostasis. Usp14-deficient mice show a phenotype similar to lethal human multiple congenital contractures phenotypes, with callosal anomalies, muscle wasting, and early lethality, attributed to neuromuscular junction defects due to decreased monomeric ubiquitin pool. RT-qPCR experiment in an unaffected heterozygote revealed that mutant USP14 was expressed, indicating that abnormal transcript escapes nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.

Callosome v0.380 NDUFAF4 Krithika Murali changed review comment from: Brain anomalies noted but not involving corpus callosum.

PMID: 32949790 - report two siblings with facial dysmorphism and lactic acidosis diagnosed neonatally with subsequent fatal early encephalopathy with apneic episodes, irritability, central hypoventilation, liver involvement and hyperammonemia. Cerebral white matter anomalies reported in one patient and cardiomyopathy in the other. WES identified homozygous nonsense NDUFAF4 variants with absent NDUFAF4 expression in patient fibroblasts. OXPHOS assembly studies demonstrated almost undetectable levels of fully assembled complex I and complex I–containing supercomplexes and an abnormal accumulation of SCIII2IV1 supercomplexes. Morphologically, fibroblasts showed rounder mitochondria and a diminished degree of branching of the mitochondrial network.

PMID: 28853723 - report one patient born at 38 weeks after IOL for IUGR. Presented age 7 months with developmental regression, growth failure and central hypotonia. Brain MRI revealed diffuse bilateral signal alterations in the basal ganglia and thalami and an EEG showed generalized slowing with multifocal spikes consistent with an epileptogenic focus. Homozygous missense NDUFAF4 variants identified. Lentiviral complementation of patient fibroblasts with wild-type NDUFAF4 rescued complex I deficiency and assembly defect; to: Brain anomalies noted but not involving corpus callosum.

PMID 18179882 - report multiple affected individuals from one family. Most presented soon after birth with severe metabolic acidosis and high plasma lactate levels. Patients who survived longer were repeatedly admitted because of exacerbation of the acidosis during intercurrent infections. One long-term survivor had profound ID. Seizures occurred in 2 individuals during decompensation episodes. Brain MRI of one patient at 16 months of age revealed severe atrophy of both gray and white matter, with demyelination, most prominent at the anterior aspects of the brain, leaving a cortical ribbon. At the occipito-parietal region there were subventricular cysts, emphasizing the ventricular walls. The cerebellum, basal ganglia, pons, and medulla were severely atrophic
Callosome v0.308 CLCN3 Zornitza Stark gene: CLCN3 was added
gene: CLCN3 was added to Callosome. Sources: Literature

Publications for gene: CLCN3 were set to 34186028

Added comment: 11 individuals reported, 9 that carried 8 different rare heterozygous missense variants in CLCN3, and 2 siblings that were homozygous for an NMD-predicted frameshift variant likely abolishing ClC-3 function. All missense variants were confirmed to be de novo in eight individuals for whom parental data was available.

The 11 individuals in the cohort share clinical features of variable severity. All 11 have GDD or ID and dysmorphic features, and a majority has mood or behavioural disorders and structural brain abnormalities:
- Structural brain abnormalities on MRI (9/11) included partial or full agenesis of the corpus callosum (6/9), disorganized cerebellar folia (4/9), delayed myelination (3/9), decreased white matter volume (3/9), pons hypoplasia (3/9), and dysmorphic dentate nuclei (3/9). Six of those with brain abnormalities also presented with seizures.
- 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: Nine individuals with brain malformations, including corpus callosum agenesis and/or posterior fossa abnormalities, associated with variable degrees of intellectual disability. The recurrent de novo p.Glu41Lys was found in eight unrelated patients, and a p.Gly47Arg variant was identified in one individual from the first family reported with Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome. Both impaired DPYSL5 function on dendritic outgrowth regulation by preventing the formation of the ternary complex with MAP2 and βIII-tubulin, ultimately leading to abnormal brain development.
