Fetal anomalies v1.234 CNOT1 Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: CNOT1: Added comment: LIMITED by ClinGen for holoprosencephaly 12 with or without pancreatic agenesis, MONDO:0032787

ClinGen curation: CNOT1 was originally reported in cases of holoprosencephaly and/or pancreatic agenesis/insufficiency in 2019 (PMID: 31006513, 31006510). One of the papers included 3 individuals with heterozygous p.Arg535Cys (PMID: 31006513), confirmed to be de novo in 2 individuals. One of these individuals was not scored due to a lack of documentation of holoprosencephaly. The other paper included 2 individuals with de novo p.Arg535Cys, both of whom with holoprosencephaly. A knock-in mouse model of this variant showed neurological and pancreatic abnormalities at E14.5, and this evidence was used to augment the genetic evidence. A mouse brain expression study (PMID: 31006510) was scored as functional evidence. In total, there is Limited evidence to support the gene-disease relationship between CNOT1 and holoprosencephaly with or without pancreatic agenesis. Of note, this gene has also been implicated in Vissers-Bodmer syndrome, which is characterized by global developmental delay and behavioral abnormalities apparent from infancy. As the condition is clinically distinct from holoprosencephaly and/or pancreatic agenesis/insufficiency, lacks specific structural brain anomalies, and likely has different molecular mechanisms, this will be/have been assessed separately.; Changed rating: AMBER; Changed phenotypes: Holoprosencephaly 12 with or without pancreatic agenesis MONDO:0032787
Fetal anomalies v1.210 HEY2 Ain Roesley gene: HEY2 was added
gene: HEY2 was added to Fetal anomalies. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: HEY2 was set to BOTH monoallelic and biallelic (but BIALLELIC mutations cause a more SEVERE disease form), autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: HEY2 were set to 32820247
Phenotypes for gene: HEY2 were set to congenital heart defects and thoracic aortic aneurysms
Review for gene: HEY2 was set to RED
gene: HEY2 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: A very large family affected by CHD and familial thoracic aortic aneurysms. Trio genome sequencing was carried out in an index patient with critical CHD, and family members had either exome or Sanger sequencing. Identified homozygous loss-of-function variant (c.318_319delAG, p.G108*) in HEY2 in 3 individuals in family with critical CHD, whereas the 20 heterozygous carriers show a spectrum of CVDs (CHD and FTAA, but varying expressivity and incomplete penetrance).

Other studies show that knockout of HEY2 in mice results in cardiovascular defects (CVDs), including septal defects, cardiomyopathy, a thin-walled aorta, and valve anomalies.

Added comment: No new publications since last PanelApp review Dec 2020. No antenatal features reported.

MORC2 variants have commonly been associated with CMT, presenting axonal neuropathy with progressive weakness, muscle cramps and sensory impairment. However, Sacoto et al (2020) (PMID: 32693025) present a cohort of 20 individuals (19 kindreds) with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by DD, ID (18/20 - mild to severe), short stature (18/20), microcephaly (15/20) and variable craniofacial dysmorphisms. Hearing loss was observed in 11/19 subjects, primarily SNHL.
