Mode of inheritance for gene: ZNF41 was set to X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females Publications for gene: ZNF41 were set to 14628291; 23871722 Phenotypes for gene: ZNF41 were set to non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability MONDO:0019181 Review for gene: ZNF41 was set to RED Added comment: DISPUTED by ClinGen. Shoichet et al. (2003) described a female patient with severe nonsyndromic mental retardation and a de novo balanced translocation t(X;7)(p11.3;q11.21) in whom they cloned the DNA fragment that contained the X chromosomal and the autosomal breakpoint. In silico sequence analysis demonstrated that the ZNF41 gene was disrupted. Expression studies indicated that ZNF41 transcripts were absent in the patient cell line, suggesting that the mental disorder in this patient resulted from loss of functional ZNF41. Screening of patients with mental retardation led to the identification of 2 other ZNF41 mutations that were not found in healthy control individuals. Based on their finding of the mutations in ZNF41 identified by Shoichet et al. (2003) in a total of 7 males in the NHLBI Exome Variant Server, and the additional finding of truncating ZNF41 variants in 1 male and 1 female in that database, Piton et al. (2013) classified the involvement of ZNF41 in mental retardation as highly questionable. Sources: Expert Review |

Report two biallelic missense variants in SEL1L in six children from three independent families presenting with developmental delay, intellectual disability, microcephaly, facial dysmorphisms, hypotonia and/or ataxia (termed ERAD-associated neurodevelopment disorder with onset in infancy (ENDI). The variants were hypomorphic and impaired ERAD function. Identified by WES. Parents heterozygous and asymptomatic. P.(Gly585Asp) in Patient 1, p.(Met528Arg) in Patients 2 and 3 (siblings). All variants cause substrate accumulation. The extent of substrate accumulation in knockin cells was modest compared to those in knockout cells, pointing to a hypomorphic nature. They also had a variant in HRD1. Weis paper PMID: 37943617 Third variant p.(Cys141Tyr), biallelic, causing premature death in five patients from a consanguineous family with early-onset neurodevelopmental disorders and agammaglobulinaemia due to severe SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD dysfunction. This variant appears to have a more severe outcome, exhibiting B cell depletion and agammaglobulinaemia, causing the most severe dysfunction among all of the variants described by this group so far. They postulate that functionality of SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD is inversely correlated with disease severity in humans. Their symptoms were dev delay, neurological disorder and agammaglobulinaemia in childhood. Along with severe axial hypotonia, short stature and microcephaly. “Not a complete loss-of-function variant”. Sources: Literature |

Demonstrate in zebrafish that cfap20 is required for motile cilia function, and in C. elegans, CFAP-20 maintains the structural integrity of non-motile cilia inner junctions, influencing sensory-dependent signalling and development. Human patients and zebrafish with CFAP20 mutations both exhibit retinal dystrophy (retinitis pigments). Hence, CFAP20 functions within a structural./functional hub centred on the inner junction that is shared between motile and non-motile cilia, and is distinct from other ciliopathy-associaetd domains or macromolecular complexes. Describe 8 individuals from 4 independent families with damaging biallelic variants (homozygous or compound heterozygous) in CFAP20 that segregate with retinal dystrophy. All variants cluster to one side of the protein, with two of the residues directly contacting alpha-tubullin. Family 1 - consanguineous set of 3 siblings from Sudan, homozygous for CFAP20 c.305G>A; p.Arg102His (they also had a homozygous variant in DYNC1LI2 however CFAP20 was considered the better candidate. Family 2 - 3 siblings from Spain, 2 with retinal dystrophy, 1 genetically tested and has c.337C>T; p.(Arg113Trp) and c.397delC; p.(Gln133Serfs*5) Family 3 - single affected family member compound het for c.164+1G>A and c.457A>G; p.(Arg153Gly). Family 4 - 3 affected siblings with generalised retinopathy and variable neurological deficits with c.164+1G>A and c.257G>A; p.(Tyr86Cys) For all families, no individuals had signs of polycystic kidney disease; however, not all individuals had kidney imaging. Visual defecit phenotype presented between adolescence and adulthood (17-56 years old). Used HEK293T cell expression studies to demonstrate a statistically significant decline of mutated CFAP20 protein levels (with the exception of p.Arg102His).

The patient with the hom variant was described as less severe. Functional studies in fibroblasts showed dysregulation of the sphingolipid (SL) synthesis pathway, showing that both variants impair ORMDL regulation of the pathway leading to various levels of increased SL. Over expression of human SPTSSA was shown to lead to motor development in flies, rescued by expression of ORMDL for WT SPTSSA but not mutant SPTSSA. The de-novo missense were shown to impact regulation more than the hom truncation, while the truncated region was shown to previously to be important for ORMDL regulation. Mice with a hom KO of the functional equivalent sptssb had early onset ataxia and died prematurely, with evidence of axonic degeneration. Sources: Literature |

Linkage analysis in one consanguineous family followed by exome revealed homozygosity for a missense PTPA variant (NM_178001:c.893T>G/p.Met298Arg). Exome sequencing in affected subjects from the 2nd family revealed homozygosity for a further missense variant (c.512C>A/p.Ala171Asp). There were no other candidate variants for the phenotype following parental / segregation studies. Role of the gene: As the authors discuss, PTPA (or PPP2R4) is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues incl. brain and encodes a phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activator of the dimeric form of protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A). PP2A in turn, is the major Ser/Thr phosphatase in brain targeting a large number of proteins involved in diverse functions. Activation of PP2A is dependent on its methylation, which is negatively regulated by the PP2A-specific methylesterase (PME-1). By binding to PME-1, PTPA counteracts the negative influence of the former on PP2A. Pathogenic variants in genes encoding subunits/regulators of the PP2A complex (e.g. PPP2R1A or PPP2CA) are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. Variant studies: Upon overexpression of wt and both variants in a HEK-293 cell line the authors demonstrated that both variants resulted in significantly reduced mRNA and protein levels (which for Ala171Asp were attributed to increased proteasomal degradation). Both variants were shown to result in impaired PP2A complex activation compared to wt. Drosophila / animal models: Pan-neuronal RNAi-mediated knockdown of ptpa in Drosophila resulted in an age-dependent locomotor dysfunction, reversible with L-DOPA treatment. Previous studies in mice suggest cognitive/electrophysiological impairments upon downregulation of PP2A activity in transgenic mice. Sources: Literature |

Functional evidence showed that the variant does not affect the GATA1 mRNA but brings about a shorter GATA1 isoform (GATA1s) and reduced full-length functional GATA1 protein (GATA1fl), thereby contributing to an erythropoietic defect.

However in all families 1 unaffected parent was also heterozygous for the same TYSM variant. The other parent in 3 of these families was then shown to carry a heterozygous variant in ENOSF1 which each affected child was also heterozygous for. ENOSF1 has been shown to modify TYMS expression at the RNA level by acting as an antisense molecule to TYMS. ENOSF1 partially overlaps TYMS on chromosome 18 and is transcribed in the opposite direction to TYMS. This paper is suggesting digenic inheritance. The TYMS wild type parent from another family was seen to have a TYMSOS variant which was also observed along with the TYMS variant in their 2 affected children. Immunoblotting showed a stark reduction in TYMS protein level in the cells of affected probands when compared to the parent carrier, wild-type parent, and the controls. Lymphoblastoid cells from affected probands have severe TYMS deficiency, altered cellular deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate pools, and hypersensitivity to the TYMS-specific inhibitor 5-fluorouracil. These defects in the nucleotide metabolism pathway resulted in genotoxic stress, defective transcription, and abnormal telomere maintenance. Gene-rescue studies in cells from affected probands revealed that post-transcriptional epistatic silencing of TYMS is occurring via elevated ENOSF1. Sources: Literature |

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. Sources: Expert Review |

Shared features incl. abnormal muscle tone(6/6 - hypertonia or hypotonia, 3/6 each), DD/ID (6/6,severe in 4, severe/profound in 2), epilepsy (6/6 - onset: infancy - 3y2m | epileptic spasms or GS at onset), microcephaly (6/6), movement disorders (3/6 - incl. dyskinesia, rigidity, choreoatetotic movements). 2/5 individuals exhibited MRI abnormalities, notably hypomyelination. Short stature was observed in 4/6. Eventual previous genetic testing was not discussed. Exome sequencing (quattro ES for 2 sibs, trio ES for 1 individual, singleton for 3 probands) revealed biallelic CHKA variants in all affected individuals. Sanger sequencing was performed for confirmation and segregation studies. Other variants (in suppl.) were not deemed to be causative for the neurodevelopmental phenotype. 3 different missense, 1 start-loss and 1 truncating variant were identified, namely (NM_0012772.2): - c.421C>T/p.(Arg141Trp) [3 hmz subjects from 2 consanguineous families], - c.580C>T/p.Pro194Ser [1 hmz individual born to consanguineous parents], - c.2T>C/p.(Met1?) [1 hmz individual born to related parents], - c.14dup/p.(Cys6Leufs*19) in trans with c.1021T>C/p.(Phe341Leu) in 1 individual. CHKA encodes choline kinase alpha, an enzyme catalyzing the first step of phospholipid synthesis in the Kennedy pathway. The pathway is involved in de novo synthesis of glycerophospholipids, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine being the most abundant in eukaryotic membranes. CHKA with its paralog (CHKB) phosphorylates either choline or ethanolamine to phosphocholine or phosphoethanolamine respectively with conversion of ATP to ADP. As the authors comment, biallelic pathogenic variants in CHKB cause a NDD with muscular dystrophy, hypotonia, ID, microcephaly and structural mitochondrial anomalies (MIM 602541). [Prominent mitochondrial patterning was observed in a single muscle biopsy available from an individual with biallelic CHKA variants]. Other disorders of the Kennedy pathway (due to biallelic PCYT2, SELENOI, PCYT1A variants) present with overlapping features incl. variable DD/ID (no-severe), microcephaly, seizures, visual impairment etc. CHKA variants were either absent or observed once in gnomAD, affected highly conserved AAs with multiple in silico predictions in favor of a deleterious effect. In silico modeling suggests structural effects for several of the missense variants (Arg141Trp, Pro194Ser presumably affect ADP binding, Phe341 lying close to the binding site of phosphocholine). Each of the missense variants was expressed in yeast cells and W. Blot suggested expression at the expected molecular weight at comparative levels. The 3 aforementioned variants exhibited reduced catalytic activity (20%, 15%, 50% respectively). NMD is thought to underly the deleterious effect of the frameshift one (not studied). The start-loss variant is expected to result in significantly impaired expression and protein function as eventual utilization of the next possible start codon - occurring at position 123 - would remove 26% of the protein. Chka(-/-) is embryonically lethal in mice, suggesting that complete loss is not compatible with life. Reduction of choline kinase activity by 30% in heterozygous mice did not appear to result in behavioral abnormalities although this was not studied in detail (PMID cited: 18029352). Finally, screening of 1566 mouse lines identified 198 genes whose disruption yields neuroanatomical phenotypes, Chka(+/-) mice being among these (PMID cited: 31371714). There is no associated phenotype in OMIM, Gene2Phenotype or SysID. Overall this gene can be considered for inclusion in the ID and epilepsy panes with green or amber rating (>3 individuals, >3 variants, variant studies, overlapping phenotype of disorders belonging to the same pathway, etc). Consider also inclusion in the microcephaly panel (where available this seemed to be of postnatal onset). Sources: Literature |

| Mendeliome v0.10181 | ADCY5 |
Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: ADCY5: Added comment: Neurodevelopmental disorder with hyperkinetic movements and dyskinesia (NEDHYD) is an autosomal recessive complex neurologic disorder characterized by severe global developmental delay with axial hypotonia, impaired intellectual development, poor overall growth, and abnormal involuntary hyperkinetic movements, including dystonia, myoclonus, spasticity, and orofacial dyskinesia. It is the most severe manifestation of ADCY5-related dyskinetic disorders. Five individuals from 2 families reported. Autosomal recessive hyperkinetic movement disorder with dyskinesia, myoclonus, chorea, and dystonia-2 (HYDMCD2) is characterized by the onset of abnormal involuntary movements, mainly affecting the limbs and causing walking difficulties, in the first decade. The severity is variable; some patients have orofacial dyskinesia, resulting in speech difficulties, or develop neuropsychiatric features, including anxiety and social withdrawal. Cardiomyopathy has rarely been described and may be a manifestation of the disorder. Eight individuals from 2 families reported.; Changed publications: 22782511, 24700542, 33051786, 32647899, 33704598, 34631954, 28971144, 30975617; Changed phenotypes: Dyskinesia, familial, with facial myokymia, MIM# 606703, MONDO:0011707, Hyperkinetic movement disorder with dyskinesia, myoclonus, chorea, and dystonia-2 (HYDMCD2), MIM#619647, Neurodevelopmental disorder with hyperkinetic movements and dyskinesia (NEDHYD), MIM#619651; Changed mode of inheritance: BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal |

KCNQ1OT1 encodes the regulatory antisense non-coding RNA KCNQ1OT1 (KCNQ1 overlapping) and is located within the KCNQ1OT1:TSS DMR (imprinting control region 2; IC2) at 11p15.5. IC2 is located within KCNQ1 intron 10. KCNQ1OT1 is maternally imprinted and paternally expressed. On the paternal chromosome, KCNQ1OT1 is transcribed and represses in cis the flanking imprinted genes, including the growth inhibitor CDKN1C, which is normally transcribed from the maternal allele. In 50% of the BWS patients, loss of methylation (LOM) of IC2 leads to biallelic expression of KCNQ1OT1 and biallelic silencing of CDKN1C (PMID 30635621). Expression is increased in BWS due to IC2 epimutations or paternal UPD. Single nucleotide variants within KCNQ1OT1 have not been definitively associated with human disease. A heterozygous maternally inherited non-coding variant was identified in an individual with isolated omphalocele. This variant was shown to alter the methylation pattern of the imprinted allele (PMID 29047350). Eggerman et al (PMID 32447323) described a 132 base pair deletion within KCNQ1OT1 associated with growth retardation in the case of paternal but not maternal transmission. This intragenic deletion did not affect IC2 methylation. Microdeletions of IC2 involving KCNQ1OT1 on the paternal allele have been identified in a small number of patients with Russell-Silver syndrome. Similarly, microdeletions of IC2 involving KCNQ1OT1 on the maternal allele have been identified in a small number of patients with BWS. These deletions also variably involve KCNQ1 or CDKN1C. LoF in CDKN1C is a known cause of BWS. There is some evidence to suggest that disruption of KCNQ1 prevents maternal methylation at IC2 (PMID 30778172). Sources: Expert Review |

Zornitza Stark commented on gene: CDH15: PMID: 19012874 - 4 unrelated patients with missense variants and mild-severe ID. Only two genes checked. All variants are common in gnomAD (>20 hets each) and classified as VUS or likely benign in ClinVar (paper is from 2008, pre-dates gnomAD). Functional studies were performed showing a LOF effect, where cell adhesion was reduced. However NMD PTCs are present in gnomAD (many >=6 hets each) PMID: 12052883 - null mouse model were viable, showed no gross developmental defects. In particular, the skeletal musculature appeared essentially normal. In the cerebellum of M-cadherin-lacking mutants, typical contactus adherens junctions were present and similar in size and numbers to the equivalent junctions in wild-type animals. However, the adhesion plaques in the cerebellum of these mutants appeared to contain elevated levels of N-cadherin compared to wild-type animals. PMID: 28422132 - reviewed microdeletions spanning multiple genes including CDH15, suggests it may contribute to a more severe neurological phenotype, with particular regard to brain malformations. PMID: 26506440 - speculates low penetrance for PTCs in this gene. Acknowledges variants in ExAC, describes them as benign Note no P/LP variants in ClinVar |

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. Sources: Literature |

Common features included transient neonatal cholestasis, failure to thrive, severe DD with failure to achieve milestones (last examination at 2y and 2y2m respectively), postnatal microcephaly, seizures (onset at 6m and 25m) and irritability. There was corpus callosum hypoplasia on brain imaging. Both individuals were homozygous for variants private to each family (no/not known consanguinity applying to each case). The first individual was homozygous for a splicing variant (NM_017667.4:c.1978-1G>T) and had a similarly unaffected sister deceased with no available DNA for testing. The other individual was homozygous for an in-frame deletion (c.1823_1825delCAA / p.(Thr608del)). VPS50 encodes a critical component of the endosome-associated recycling protein (EARP) complex, which functions in recycling endocytic vesicles back to the plasma membrane [OMIM based on Schindler et al]. The complex contains VPS50, VPS51, VPS52, VPS53, the three latter also being components of GARP (Golgi-associated-retrograde protein) complex. GARP contains VPS54 instead of VPS50 and is required for trafficking of proteins to the trans-golgi network. Thus VPS50 (also named syndetin) and VPS54 function in the EARP and GARP complexes, to define directional movement of their endocytic vesicles [OMIM based on Schindler et al]. The VPS50 subunit is required for recycling of the transferrin receptor. As discussed by Schneeberger et al (refs provided in text): - VPS50 has a high expression in mouse and human brain as well as throughout mouse brain development. - Mice deficient for Vps50 have not been reported. vps50 knockdown in zebrafish results in severe developmental defects of the body axis. Knockout mice for other proteins of the EARP/GARP complex (e.g. Vps52, 53 and 54) display embryonic lethality. Studies performed by Schneeberger et al included: - Transcript analysis for the 1st variant demonstrated skipping of ex21 (in patient derived fabriblasts) leading to an in frame deletion of 81 bp (r.1978_2058del) with predicted loss of 27 residues (p.Leu660_Leu686del). - Similar VPS50 mRNA levels but significant reduction of protein levels (~5% and ~8% of controls) were observed in fibroblasts from patients 1 and 2. Additionally, significant reductions in the amounts of VPS52 and VPS53 protein levels were observed despite mRNA levels similar to controls. Overall, this suggested drastic reduction of functional EARP complex levels. - Lysosomes appeared to have similar morphology, cellular distribution and likely unaffected function in patient fibroblasts. - Transferrin receptor recycling was shown to be delayed in patient fibroblasts suggestive of compromise of endocytic-recycling function. As the authors comment, the phenotype of both individuals with biallelic VPS50 variants overlaps with the corresponding phenotype reported in 15 subjects with biallelic VPS53 or VPS51 mutations notably, severe DD/ID, microcephaly and early onset epilepsy, CC anomalies. Overall, for this group, they propose the term "GARP and/or EARP deficiency disorders". There is no VPS50-associated phenotype in OMIM or G2P. SysID includes VPS50 among the ID candidate genes.

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).

IMPDH2 encodes IMPDH2, a key enzyme in the purine biosynthetic pathway, expressed throughout the brain and not linked previously to any human Mendelian condition. 1x individual with a de-novo substitution, c.337G>A (p.Gly113Arg), was found in in-house whole-exome sequencing data from 500 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. Through GeneMatcher, de novo variants identified: 3 x missense: c.729G>C (p.Gln243His), c.619G>C (p.Gly207Arg), and c.619G>A (p.Gly207Arg) 1 x deletion: c.478_480delTCC (p.Ser160del) The six variants were predicted to be deleterious and none of them seen in control databases. All affected conserved amino acids and resided in and around the cystathionine-β-synthase domain pair. The described variants are situated in and around the CBS domain pair, a regulatory element in which clustering of pathogenic missense variants has already been shown for the homologue of IMPDH2, IMPDH1. The variant carriers shared similar neurodevelopmental phenotypes. Apart from the dystonia cohort index case, one participant had evidence of dystonic posturing. Modelling of the variants on 3D protein structures revealed spatial clustering near specific functional sites, predicted to result in deregulation of IMPDH2 activity. Additionally, thermal-shift assays showed that the c.619G>A (p.Gly207Arg) variant, identified as within the CBS domain pair, and c.729G>C (p.Gln243His), which is in close vicinity, affected the stability or folding behaviour of IMPDH2.

"Affected individuals were born after uneventful pregnancies and presented in most cases early in life with developmental delay. Various degrees of ataxia, hypotonia, and dystonia were present in all affected individuals, preventing independent ambulation. Likewise, nystagmus was commonly described. In addition, all affected individuals displayed intellectual disability and speech delay. Two siblings further presented with therapy-resistant epilepsy. No major dysmorphic features were found. In two individuals, retinal pigment alterations were noticed. Brain MRI revealed mild cerebellar atrophy and vermian atrophy without other major structural abnormalities in most affected individuals while in one case (Subject 9) bilateral hyperintensities at the nucleus caudatus area were noted. No hearing or vision problems were noted and in cases where nerve conduction studies were performed, these were normal. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on peripheral blood lymphocytes from Subject 2 and lymphoblastoid cells from Subject 3 revealed more multilayered vesicles compared to control cells." |

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.

| Mendeliome v0.4520 | SLC12A2 |
Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: SLC12A2: Added comment: Monoallelic : DD/ID was a feature in >= 6 individuals with monoallelic de novo SLC12A2. An individual with an exon 22 truncating variant was reported to have normal milestones and cognitive function. Exon 21 variants have been described in individuals with rather isolated hearing impairment (possibly some associated motor delay, but normal cognition). Hearing impairment was also reported in 2/6 patients with variants in other exons (1 missense / 1 frameshift). Biallelic : DD/ID was reported in at least 3 individuals in literature. Hearing impairment has been reported on 2 occasions (although this was not probably evaluated in all subjects). --- Monoallelic SLC12A2 mutations : ► Individuals with de novo mutations and developmental disorder were first identified by the DDD study (2017 - PMID: 28135719). 5 of them have been reported in detail by McNeill et al (below). ► McNeill et al (2020 - PMID: 32658972) report on 6 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorder due to de novo SLC12A2 mutation. All presented DD or ID ranging from mild to severe. ASD was reported in 3/6. Sensorineural hearing loss was a feature in 2/6 with the remaining having normal formal evaluations. Brain, cardiac and/or additional malformations were reported in a single individual. Following non-diagnostic prior work-up (CMA, FMR1 or other investigations) trio exome sequencing revealed missense (4/6) or truncating variants (2/6). Three additional individuals (incl. a father and his son) with missense variants in exon 21 (NM_001046.3 / p.Glu979Lys and p.Glu980Lys) presented with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Speech and/or motor delay reported in these cases were attributed to the hearing impairment/vestibular arreflexia (cognitive abilities not tested). SLC12A2 encodes sodium-potassium-chloride transporter 1 (also NKCC1). The GTEx project has identified 8 isoforms. In brain both exon 21-containing/deleted isoforms are expressed (cited Morita et al 2014 - PMID: 24695712). As the authors discuss, RNA-seq of the developing mouse cochlea suggests that the exon 21 containing isoform is the single transcript expressed. Evidence from RNA-seq data (BrainSpan project) and literature suggests that the significant amounts of exon 21 lacking isoforms in fetal brain compensate for the deleterious effects of exon 21 variants and explain the lack of NDD in relevant patients. Slc12a2 (NKCC1) null mouse model has demonstrated that the transporter plays a role in accumulation of the potassium rich endolymph in the inner ear, with NKCC1 absence causing sensorineural deafness and imbalance. Slc12a2 display cochlear malformations, loss of hair cells and hearing impairment (cited Delpire et al 1999 - PMID: 10369265). The brain phenotype has not been studied extensively, although loss of Slc12a2 has been shown to inhibit neurogenesis (cited: Magalhães and Rivera et al. - PMID: 27582690). Slc12a2 null zebrafish display a collapse of the otic vesicle and reduced endolymph (Abbas and Whitfield, 2009 - PMID: 19633174) relevant to the human hearing disorder. In vitro assessment of NKCC1 ion transporter function in Xenopus laevis, supported the deleterious effect of the identified variants (significant reduction in K+ influx). Using available single cell RNA-seq data the authors further demonstrated that SLC12A2 expressing cells display transcriptomic profiles reflective of active neurogenesis. ► Delpire et al (2016 - PMID: 27900370 - not reviewed in detail) described a 13 y.o. girl harboring a de novo 11-bp deletion in SLC12A2 exon 22. This individual reached developmental milestones on time and had a NORMAL cognitive function. Hearing was seemingly normal. Features included orthostatic intolerance, respiratory weakness, multiple endocrine abnormalities, pancreatic insufficiency and multiorgan failure incl. gut and bladder. Exome in the proband, parents and 3 unaffected sibs suggested SLC12A2 as the only candidate for her phenotype. Functional analyses in Xenopus laevis oocytes suggested that a non functional transporter was expressed and trafficked to the membrane as the wt. Detection of the truncated protein at higher molecular sizes suggested either enhanced dimerization or misfolded aggregate. There was no dominant-negative effect of mutant NKCC1. In patient fibroblasts a reduced total and NKCC1-mediated K+ influx. ► Mutai et al (2020 - PMID: 32294086) report on several individuals from 4 families, harboring variants within exon 21 or - in one case - at it's 3' splice-site (leading to skipping oe this exon at the mRNA level). All subjects were investigated for severe/profound hearing loss (in line with the role of exon 21-included isoforms in cochlea. The variant segregated with hearing impairment in 3 generations of a family while in all other subjects the variant had occured as de novo event. Despite motor delays (e.g. the subject from fam2 could not hold head or sit at the age of 10m / the proband in Fam3 was able to hold his head and walk at 6 and 20 m respectively) behavior and cognition were commented to be within normal range. ----- Biallelic SLC12A2 mutations: ► Anazi et al (2017 - PMID: 29288388) briefly reported on a 3 y.o. boy (17DG0776) with central hypotonia, neonatal respiratory distress, failure to thrive, global DD and microcephaly and a skeletal survey suggestive of osteopenia. After non-diagnostic prior investigations (CMA revealing a 1p duplication classified as VUS, extensive metabolic workup), WES revealed a homozygous SLC12A2 splicing variant [NM_001046.2:c.2617-2A>G]. ► Macnamara et al (2019 - PMID: 30740830) described a 5.5 y.o. male with sensorineural hearing loss, profound delays in all developmental areas among several other features (choanal atresia, failure to thrive, respiratory problems, absent sweat and tear production or salivation, GI abnormalities). Genetic testing for several disorders considered (cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, sequencing and del/dup analysis of mtDNA) was normal. CMA revealed paternal uniparental isodisomy for chr. 5 and WGS a homozygous 22kb deletion in SLC12A2. This was followed by confirmation of homozygosity in the proband, heterozygosity of the unaffected father, delineation of breakpoints (chr5:127441491-127471419). mRNA studies in patient fibroblasts confirmed deletion of ex2-7, splicing of ex1 directly to ex8 and introduction of a premature stop codon in ex9. qRT-PCR confirmed that mRNA is likely subjected to NMD (expression ~80% of control). Western blot confirmed absence of the protein in the patient's fibroblasts. Again mouse models are thought to recapitulate the hearing defect but also the deficient saliva production (cited Evans et al 2000 - PMID: 10831596). Again the authors speculate a role of SLC12A2 in brain development based on evidence from murine models (migration, dendritic growth, increse in neuron density through regulation of GABAergic signalling (Young et al 2012 - PMID: 23015452). Hypotheses are also made on a regulatory relationship between NKCC1 and CFTR based on mRNA data from the ko mouse model. ► Stödberg et al (2020 - PMID: 32754646) reported 2 sibs with a complex neurodevelopmental disorder due to compound heterozygosity for a frameshift SLC12A2 variant and a splicing one (NM_001046:c.1431delT and c.2006-1G>A). Both presented hypotonia, neonatal S. aureus parotitis and respiratory problems (incl. apneas). While the older sib died at the age of 22 days, the younger one had persistent respiratory issues incl. a dry respiratory mucosa motivating metabolic, immunology investigations and testing for CF. She displayed microcephaly (OFC -2.5 SD, H was also -3.5SD), severe intellectual disability. MRI was suggestive of white matter and basal ganglia abnormalities. Other features incl. hearing impairment, and lack of tears,saliva and sweat, constipation and intestinal malrotation. There was facial dysmorphism. The variants were the only retained following WGS of the 2 affected sisters, parents and an unaffected brother. The splicing variant was shown to result in skipping of exon 13, while the indel in NMD. Again the authors discuss that the deficient saliva production, impaired hearing and GI problems are recapitulated in the mouse model (several refs provided).; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed publications: 28135719, 32658972, 27900370, 32294086, 29288388, 30740830, 32754646; Changed phenotypes: Kilquist syndrome, deafness, intellectual disability, dysmorphic features, absent salivation, ectodermal dysplasia, constipation, intestinal malrotation, multiple congenital anomalies; Changed mode of inheritance: BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal |

This mimics the therapeutic NOTCH3 cysteine correction approach and allows the effect of cysteine corrective exon skipping on NOTCH3 protein aggregation and disease severity in humans to be studied. In this family the CADASIL phenotype was mild.

Features included DD (9/10), ID (6/8 of relevant age), microcephaly (7/10), seizures (5/10 - >=3 different variants), structural brain abnormalities (e.g. thin CC in 6/9), highly variable ocular abnormalities (5/10) and dysmorphic features in some (7/10 - nonspecific). All had variable prior non-diagnostic genetic tests (CMA, gene panel, mendeliome, karyotype). WES/WGS revealed LMBRD2 missense variants, in all cases de novo. A single individual had additional variants with weaker evidence of pathogenicity. 5 unique missense SNVs and 2 recurrent ones (NM_001007527:c.367T>C - p.Trp123Arg / c.1448G>A - p.Arg483His) were identified. These occurred in different exons. Variants were not present in gnomAD and all had several in silico predictions in favor of a deleterious effect. There was phenotypic variability among individuals with the same variant (e.g. seizures in 1/3 and microchephaly in 2/3 of those harboring R483H). The gene has a pLI of 0 (although o/e ranges from 0.23 to 0.55), %HI of 15.13 and z-score of 2.27. The authors presume that haploinsufficiency may not apply, and consider a gain-of-function/dominant-negative effect more likely. As the authors comment LMBRD2 (LMBR1 domain containing 2) encodes a membrane bound protein with poorly described function. It is widely expressed across tissues with notable expression in human brain (also in Drosophila, or Xenopus laevis). It displays high interspecies conservation. It has been suggested (Paek et al - PMID: 28388415) that LMBRD2 is a potential regulator of β2 adrenoreceptor signalling through involvement in GPCR signalling. ► Kaplanis et al (2020 - https://doi.org/10.1101/797787) in a dataset of 31058 parent-offspring trios (WES) previously identified 3 individuals with developmental disorder, harboring c.1448G>A - p.Arg483His. These individuals (1 from the DDD study, and 2 GeneDx patients) appear in Decipher. [ https://decipher.sanger.ac.uk/ddd/research-variant/40e17c78cc9655a6721006fc1e0c98db/overview ].

Sources: Expert list Mode of inheritance for gene: TAF1C was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: TAF1C were set to 32779182 Phenotypes for gene: TAF1C were set to Global developmental delay; Intellectual disability; Spasticity; Strabismus; Seizures; Abnormality of nervous system morphology Review for gene: TAF1C was set to AMBER Added comment: Knuutinen et al (2020 - PMID: 32779182) report on 2 individuals from 2 consanguineous families, homozygous for TAF1C missense variants. Both presented with an early onset neurological phenotype with severe global DD, ID (2/2 - moderate and profound), spasticity (2/2), ophthalmic findings (strabismus 2/2, nystagmus 1/2). Epilepsy, abnormal brain MRI (cerebral and cerebellar atrophy and white matter hyperintensities) as well and additional findings were reported in one (always the same individual). Following a normal CMA, exome in the first case revealed a homozygous missense SNV (NM_005679.3:c.1165C>T / p.Arg389Cys) supported by in silico predictions. mRNA and protein levels were substantially reduced in fibroblasts from this subject. Only the patient and parents were tested for the variant but not 3 unaffected sibs (fig1). The second individual was homozygous for another missense variant (p.Arg405Cys) also supported by in silico predictions. The girl was the single affected person within the family with an unaffected sib and parents heterozygous for the variant. Several other unaffected relatives in the extended pedigree were either carriers for this variant or homozygous for the wt allele. TAF1C encodes the TATA-box binding protein associated factor (TAF) RNA polymerase I subunit. RNA polymerase I (Pol I) transcribes genes to produce rRNA. For Pol I to initiate transcription, two transcription factors are required : UBF (upstream binding factor encoded by UBTF) and SL1 (selectivity factor 1). The latter is formed by TBP (TATA-binding protein) and 3 Pol I-specific TBP-associated factors (TAFs). A recurrent de novo missense variant in UBTF (encoding the other Pol I transcription factor) causes a disorder with highly similar features. The specific variant acts through a gain-of-function mechanism (and not by LoF which appears to apply for TAF1C based on expression data). The authors hypothesize that altered Pol I activity and resulting ribosomal stress could cause the microcephaly and leukodystrophy (both reported in 1 - the same - individual). Sources: Expert list |

| Mendeliome v0.3675 | PIGQ |
Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: PIGQ: Added comment: Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in PIGQ cause Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 77 (MIM #618548). Johnstone et al (2020 - PMID: 32588908) describe the phenotype of 7 children (from 6 families) with biallelic PIGQ pathogenic variants. The authors also review the phenotype of 3 subjects previously reported in the literature (by Martin et al, Alazami et al, Starr et al - respective PMIDs: 24463883, 25558065, 31148362). Affected individuals displayed severe to profound global DD/ID and seizures with onset in the first year of life. There were variable other features incl. - among others - genitourinary, cardiac, skeletal, ophthalmological anomalies, gastrointestinal issues. Within the cohort there was significant morbidity/mortality. PIGQ encodes phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Q protein, playing a role (early) in the biosynthesis of the GPI-anchor. Several genes in the GPI biosynthesis pathway cause multi-system disease with DD/ID and seizures. Flow cytometry has been used in individuals with PIGQ-related disorder. Serum ALP was elevated in some (4) although - as the authors comment - elevations are more typical in disorders affecting later steps of GPI biosynthesis. More than 10 variants have been reported to date (missense / pLoF).; Changed phenotypes: Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 77, MIM# 618548 |

One also presented with seizures. - Aslam and Naz [2019 - PMID: 31047799] provided clinical details on 2 siblings born to consanguineous parents. ID was reported for the older sib but was absent in the younger one. Seizures were not part of the phenotype. All subjects harbored biallelic pLoF variants. N.B. : Steinberg et al [2015 - PMID: 25773295], within a cohort of patients with ALS, identified one with biallelic ABCA2 variants. As however Aslam and Naz comment, this person harbored a single pathogenic variant, with a second one rather unlikely to be pathogenic due to high allele frequency.

Zornitza Stark gene: KCNT2 was added gene: KCNT2 was added to Mendeliome_VCGS. Sources: Literature Mode of inheritance for gene: KCNT2 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted Publications for gene: KCNT2 were set to 29069600; 29740868 Phenotypes for gene: KCNT2 were set to Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 57, MIM#617771; Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy Review for gene: KCNT2 was set to GREEN Added comment: Reviewed by E Palmer: Ambrosino et al described 2 unrelated females with de novo variants in KCNT2. The first patient had the variant p.(Arg190His) had with West syndrome followed by Lennox-Gastaut syndrome , the second patient had the variant p.(Arg190Pro) and DEE with migrating focal seizures. Both variants were absent gnomad and had supportive in silico support for pathogenicity. In an electrophisological model both KCNT2 R190P and KCNT2 R190H increased maximal current density and shifted toward more negative membrane potential values the activation curve of KCNT2 channels, consistent with gain of function effects. PMID: 29740868. Gururaj et al describe one male with de novo variant in KCNT2 p. (Phe240Leu) and early infantile epileptic encephalopathy. he variant was absent gnomad and supportive evidence of pathogenicity This variant was electrophysiologically modelled and revealed that the variant resulted in a 'change in function' demonstrating unusual altered selectivity in KNa channels.PMID: 29069600.
