Added comment: PMID:38196629 (note pre-print) describes 4 unrelated patients with core features of progressive muscle weakness, respiratory insufficiency, joint hyperlaxity, ankle tightness, calf pseudohypertrophy, elevated CK, and larning disabilities/difficulties. 2 patients presented with increased iron deposition in the brain. Age of recognition of myopathic symptoms varied from early childhood to adolescence. Muscle biopsy showed variation in fiber size and an increase in internalized nuclei, as well as scattered degenerating/regenerating fibers and a mild to minimal increase in endomysial fibrosis. Electron microscopy revealed morphologically abnormal mitochondria.

PMID: 38411040 reports 2 unrelated patients. Patient 1 was born with microcephaly and borderline hypertonia, and died at 18 months of respiratory failure from bronchiolitis. Patient 2 presented with failure to thrive, a hyperkinetic movement disorder, and autism before deteriorating in late teens with muscle weakness, recurrent pneuomonia with respiratory insufficiency, and eventually death due to multi-organ failure with carnificating pneumonia, septic cardiomyopathy, and intracranial hemorrhages. Immune deficiency was ruled out.

All variants reported were homozygous or compound heterozygous missense variants, with the exception of one large in-frame deletion of exon 7. Cell line studies showed the variants resulted in reduced protein stability and downstream cellular defects which could be rescued by wild-type CIAO1.

Phenotypes for gene: TUBA4A were set to Congenital myopathy MONDO:0019952
Review for gene: TUBA4A was set to AMBER
Added comment: One novel TUBA4A variant in two unrelated Chinese patients with sporadic congenital myopathy.

Identified candidate genes using laser capture micro dissection, proteomics, WES, clinical data, myopathological changes, electrophysiological exams and thigh muscle MRIs.

The variant is de novo in both patients, c.679C>T, p.(Leu227Phe). The prominent myopathological changes in both patients were muscle fibres with focal myofibrillar disorganisation and rimmed vacuoles. Immunofluorescence showed ubiqution-positive TUBA4A protein aggregates in the muscle fibres with rimmed vacuoles. Overexpression of Leu227Phe resulted in cytoplasmic aggregates which colocalised with ubiquitin in cellular model.

Patient 1 is 14yo and had delayed motor development milestones since infancy. Myopathic face, high-arched palate, waddling gait, winged scapula and muscle weakness in four limbs with lower extremities and proximal muscle more severely affected. Follow up at 14yo showed slight improvement in motor function compared with 3yo.

Patient 2 is 6yo and presented with motor retardation since birth. At 3yo, presented with mild ptosis and ophthalmoparesis, high-arched palate and muscle weakness involving both proximal and distal in all limbs.

No likely pathogenic variants in 116 other protein-encoding genes. Variants confirmed by Sanger sequencing and absent from gnomAD. ACMG predicts likely pathogenic classification.

Mode of inheritance for gene: POGLUT1 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: POGLUT1 were set to 33861953
Phenotypes for gene: POGLUT1 were set to Muscular dystrophy, MONDO:0020121, POGLUT1-related
Review for gene: POGLUT1 was set to AMBER
Added comment: in addition to adult-onset LGMD R21 (OMIM# 617232), biallelic variants in POGLUT1 gene have been reported in one patient with congenital muscular dystrophy and in two further patients with onset before 3 years of age. The presenting symptom were hypotonia with lower limb proximal weakness after gait acquisition, and further progression with mild weakness, wasting and contractures of the upper limbs, mild facial weakness, ptosis, and nasal voice. weakness was more severe and had faster progression compared to later onset patients. Muscle biopsies show evidence of α-dystroglycan hypoglycosylation. POGLUT1 activity is critical for the Notch signalling pathway, as JAG2.

Muscular dystrophy and myopathy_Paediatric v0.88 JAG2 Zornitza Stark gene: JAG2 was added
gene: JAG2 was added to Muscular dystrophy_Paediatric. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: JAG2 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: JAG2 were set to 33861953
Phenotypes for gene: JAG2 were set to muscular dystrophy
Review for gene: JAG2 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Whole-exome sequencing identified 13 families with rare homozygous or compound heterozygous JAG2 variants. Bi-allelic variants include 10 missense variants that disrupt highly conserved amino acids, a nonsense variant, two frameshift variants, an in-frame deletion, and a microdeletion encompassing JAG2. Onset of muscle weakness occurred from infancy to young adulthood. Serum creatine kinase (CK) levels were normal or mildly elevated. Muscle histology was primarily dystrophic. MRI of the lower extremities revealed a distinct, slightly asymmetric pattern of muscle involvement with cores of preserved and affected muscles in quadriceps and tibialis anterior, in some cases resembling patterns seen in POGLUT1-associated muscular dystrophy.
