Congenital Heart Defect v0.367 KMT2B Violeta Velkoska-Ivanova changed review comment from: There is insufficient evidence in the published data to rate this gene as green in the context of congenital heart disease. The supporting evidence for rating this gene AMBER is as follows:
No heart abnormalities were noted in the two KMT2B-associated disease phenotypes listed in OMIM ( both reviewed in 2022).
The GenCC database( https://thegencc.org/) has summarised evidence from four reputable submitters: Genomic England Panel App, ClinGen, Ambry Genetics and Orphanet). Three classifications (two supportive, one strong) implicate KMT2B in two diseases: Dystonia,28, childhood-onset (MONDO:0015004; OMIM: 617284) and Complex Neurodevelopmental Disorder with Motor features (MONDO: 0100516) where the KMT2B variations are inherited in autosomal dominant mode.
The ClinGen evaluation (The Clinical Genome Resource), with ten variants (missense, nonsense, and frameshift) being reported in 10 probands in 2 publications (PMIDs: 29276005, 33150406) and also in a non-human animal model (PMID: 23426673) provides definitive evidence for the KMT2B gene relationship with autosomal dominant, Complex Neurodevelopmental Disorder with Motor features (MONDO: 0100516). Regarding dosage sensitivity, there is sufficient evidence that this gene exhibits haploinsufficiency and is intolerant to LoF variation.
The G2P database (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gene2phenotype/) lists the KMT2B-associated complex early-onset dystonia in the Developmental Delay panel. Also, the KMT2B is absent from the Cardiac G2P, a publicly available resource designed for filtering and analysing genetic variants of inherited cardiac conditions (ICC)(PMID 37872640).
The largest cohort with KMT2B variants (133 patients: 53 as the initial study cohort in addition to 80 published cases)(PMID:33150406) provides a detailed delineation of their clinical phenotype and molecular genetic features. Although this study emphasised that patients with chromosomal deletions and protein-truncating variants had a significantly higher burden of systemic disease (with earlier onset of dystonia) than those with missense variants, it reported on new disease features ( i.e. atypical patterns of dystonia evolution and a subgroup of patients with a non-dystonic neurodevelopmental phenotype). It also identified co-morbidities ( i.e. risk of status dystonicus, intrauterine growth retardation, and endocrinopathies); however, it failed to associate the KMT2B gene with congenital abnormalities of the heart.

Also, the KMT2B is absent from the Cardiac G2P, a publicly available resource designed for filtering and analysing genetic variants of inherited cardiac conditions (ICC)(PMID 37872640).
The largest cohort of 133 patients with KMT2B variants (PMID:33150406) delineates their clinical phenotype and molecular genetic features. Although this study emphasised that patients with chromosomal deletions and protein-truncating variants had a significantly higher burden of systemic disease (with earlier onset of dystonia) than those with missense variants, it reported on new disease features ( i.e. atypical patterns of dystonia evolution and a subgroup of patients with a non-dystonic neurodevelopmental phenotype). It also identified co-morbidities ( i.e. risk of status dystonicus, intrauterine growth retardation, and endocrinopathies); however, it failed to associate the KMT2B gene with congenital abnormalities of the heart.
However, the following evidence may be considered when upgrading the KMT2B gene to Green:
KMT2B methyltransferase is a family of histone-modifying enzymes (KMTs) that catalyse the methylation of lysine 4 of the Histone 3 protein and regulate transcriptional activity at the chromatin level. As methylation is critical in transcriptional changes occurring during development, it is not unexpected that deregulated methylation marks are found in developmental disorders, human aging, and cancer. A range of neurodevelopmental disorders is caused by pathogenic variants in genes regulating chromatin function and structure that display abnormal DNA methylation patterns (episignatures) in peripheral blood. Similarly, deregulation of histone lysine methylation, essential during cardiac development, is associated with cardiac disease. ( 35506254)
A recent review states that the known KMT2B paralogs (Gene Cards), KMT2A, KMT2C and KMT2D exhibit regulatory roles during heart development or disease (as defined by supporting data from multiple model systems and /or by disease association. (37504561).
One such example is the KMT2D gene that confusingly shares the same alternate name as KMT2B- MLL2 despite the different genomic locations of both genes and other differences. Molecular rearrangements of KMT2D are associated with Kabuki Syndrome 1(KS) (OMIM: 147920) where, in addition to neurodevelopmental presentation, congenital heart defect, ventricular and atrial septal defect are also part of the phenotypic spectrum.
Comparison of the methylation patterns in peripheral blood from patients with KMT2-dystonia, KMT2-Kabuki Syndrome and controls showed that most DNA regions with altered methylation patterns differ between these two disorders and controls with KMT2B being hypermethylated. The KMT2B is unique among ’chromatin neurodevelopmental disorders’ genes as its most prominent clinical feature is childhood-onset dystonia rather than developmental delay or congenital anomalies. (PMID:35506254).
The KMT2B paralogs, KMT2A and KMT2D supported by patient phenotypic presentation and likely valid functional evidence in animal models have been investigated thus far as candidate genes in genomic sequencing studies of cardiac disease, including those for patients with congenital heart defect (PMID3378394;25972376;28884922). Thus far, the function of KMT2B in the context of congenital heart disease is yet to be phenotypically confirmed and recapitulated through further research.

Review for gene: NUP188 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Sandestig et al 2020/19:
two unrelated female infants from consanguineous families, each with homozygous nonsense gene variants of NUP188 (p.Tyr96* and p.Gln113*, respectively). Both patients showed close similarity and specificity of clinical features including the course of the disease and a poor prognosis.

Muir et al 2020:
Four unrelated families with six affected female infants with bi-allelic truncating variants in NUP188. all found to have very similar phenotypes
Functional studies showed:
1. Nuclear import of proteins was decreased in affected individuals’ fibroblasts, supporting a possible disease mechanism.
2. CRISPR-mediated knockout of NUP188 in Drosophila revealed motor deficits and seizure susceptibility, partially recapitulating the neurological phenotype seen in affected individuals.
3. Removal of NUP188 also resulted in aberrant dendrite tiling, suggesting a potential role of NUP188 in dendritic development

Key clinical features of Sandestig-Stefanova syndrome MIM 618804:
- congenital cataracts
- hypotonia,
- prenatal-onset ventriculomegaly,
- white-matter abnormalities,
- hypoplastic corpus callosum,
- congenital heart defects, and
- central hypoventilation. 
Characteristic dysmorphic features include:
- small palpebral fissures,
- a wide nasal bridge and nose,
- micrognathia, and
- digital anomalies.

16 individuals with Mabrys syndrome, most common variant c.1022C>A , and also novel variants (c. 176T>G, c.53G>A, c.905T>C, and c.1405C>T) detected PIGV mutations and demonstrate that the severe end of the clinical spectrum presents as a multiple congenital malformation syndrome with a high frequency of Hirschsprung disease, vesicoureteral, and renal anomalies as well as anorectal malformations. PIGV mutations are the major cause of HPMRS, which displays a broad clinical variability regarding associated malformations and growth patterns. Severe developmental delays, particular facial anomalies, brachytelephalangy, and hyperphosphatasia are consistently found in PIGV-positive individuals.
No evidence of congenital heart defects found.

Congenital Heart Defect v0.315 SMG9 Laura S edited their review of gene: SMG9: Added comment: Autosomal recessive inheritance

Shaheen et al. in 2016 (27018474) published case reports about two consanguineous families in which a similar patter of congenital anomalies was found to be most likely caused by homozygous loss-of-function mutation in SMG9. This gene encodes an essential component of the SURF complex that generates phosphor-UPF1, the single most important step in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). The authors generated a knock-out Smg9 mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 and observed similar congenital anomaly syndrome to the one reported in humans. Additionally, human cells not expressing SMG9 had global transcriptional dysregulation, but not reduction of premature stop codon (PST)-containing transcripts.

The affected family members in these two families showed to have phenotypic overlap between Dandy-Walker malformation and congenital heart disease. Due to the consanguineous nature in both families and the geographical proximity (both cases in Arabia) indicate the possibility of a homozygous pathogenic variants in the same gene. These variants are c.520_521delCC and c.701+4A>G, both affecting the gene SMG9. The indel in family 1 predicts a frameshift and premature truncation, p.Pro174Argfs*12. In family 2, a complete skipping of exon 6 was revealed by RT-PCR. The resulting aberrant transcript predicts frameshift and premature truncation (p.Tyr197Aspfs*10).

In 2019, another case was reported by Lecoquierre et al. (31390136). The patient presented with a syndromic association of severe global developmental delay and diverse malformations. She carried a novel SMG9 homozygous variant NM_019108.3:c.1177C>T, p.(Gln393*), while her unaffected parents were both heterozygous and first-degree cousins. This absent variant in gnomaAD was predicted to result in a premature stop codon leading to nonsense-mediated decay within this single transcript gene.

In 2020, Lemire et al. (32412169) reported a case of 7-year-old female with severe intellectual disability, multiple congenital anomalies, including cardiovascular anomalies, and facial dysmorphisms. No known consanguinity, the parents were heterozygous for the variant and she had an unaffected brother. She carried a homozygous missense variant in the SMG9 gene (c.1508G > C; p.Trp503Ser) identified as the likely etiology. In silico analysis predicted this change to impact protein structure/function. This missense change is rare, with only one allele count in gnomAD and no homozygotes.

In 2021, Altuwaijri et al. (33609422) reported a new case in a research letter to the editor, in which a 25-month-old male had significant heart and brain malformations. Exome sequencing performed on the subject revealed the same homozygous splicing variant (NM_019108.4: exon7:c.701+4A>G) as their original report (Shaheen et al., 2016). Thus validating their previous findings.; Changed publications: 27018474 31390136 32412169 33609422; Changed phenotypes: Heart and brain malformation syndrome (HBMS)

- HEK293T cells transfection studies showed: T312Kfs*55 and W271G strongly impaired MIB1 function on substrate ubiquitination, while Q237H and S520R had slight or no obvious changes. Interaction between MIB1 and JAG1 is severely interrupted by p.T312Kfs*55 and p.W271G, but not really in the other 2 missense.
- Overexpression of wt or mutant in zebrafish all resulted in dysmorphic pheno, therefore not informative.

Phenotypes for gene: MAPKAPK5 were set to Developmental delay, variable brain anomalies, congenital heart defects, dysmorphic
Review for gene: MAPKAPK5 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 3 individuals from 2 families with severe developmental delay, variable brain anomalies, congenital heart defects, dysmorphic facial features, and a distinctive type of synpolydactyly with an additional hypoplastic digit between the fourth and fifth digits of hands and/or feet. Exome sequencing identified different homozygous truncating variants in MAPKAPK5 in both families, segregating with disease and unaffected parents as carriers.

Patient-derived cells showed no expression of MAPKAPK5 protein isoforms and reduced levels of the MAPKAPK5-interacting protein ERK3. F-actin recovery after latrunculin B treatment was found to be less efficient in patient-derived fibroblasts than in control cells, supporting a role of MAPKAPK5 in F-actin polymerization.

Added comment: Connaughton et al (2020 - PMID: 32891193) report on 19 individuals (from 15 unrelated families) with heterozygous pathogenic ZMYM2 variants.

Affected individuals from 7 families presented with CAKUT while all of them displayed extra-renal features. Neurological manifestations were reported in 16 individuals from 14 families (data not available for 1 fam), among others hypotonia (3/14 fam), speech delay (4/14 fam), global DD (9/14 fam), ID (4/14 fam), microcephaly (4/14 fam). ASD was reported in 4 fam (4 indiv). Seizures were reported in 2 fam (2 indiv). Variable other features included cardiac defects, facial dysmorphisms, small hands and feet with dys-/hypo-plastic nails and clinodactyly.

14 pLoF variants were identified, in most cases as de novo events (8 fam). In 2 families the variant was inherited from an affected parent. Germline mosaicism occurred in 1 family.

The human disease features were recapitulated in a X. tropicalis morpholino knockdown, with expression of truncating variants failing to rescue renal and craniofacial defects. Heterozygous Zmym2-deficient mice also recapitulated the features of CAKUT.

ZMYM2 (previously ZNF198) encodes a nuclear zinc finger protein localizing to the nucleus (and PML nuclear body).

It has previously been identified as transcriptional corepressor interacting with nuclear receptors and the LSD1-CoREST-HDAC1 complex. It has also been shown to interact with FOXP transcription factors.

The authors provide evidence for loss of interaction of the truncated ZMYM2 with FOXP1 (mutations in the latter having recently been reported in syndromic CAKUT).
