Mendeliome v1.1695 RTN2 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram changed review comment from: PMID:38527963 reported the identification of seven novel or ultra-rare homozygous loss-of-function RTN2 variants in 14 individuals from seven unrelated families with distal hereditary motor neuropathy.

All affected individuals exhibited weakness in the distal upper and lower limbs, lower limb spasticity, hyperreflexia, with an onset in the first decade of life. Nerve conduction studies revealed axonal motor neuropathy with neurogenic changes in the electromyography.

Characterisation of C. elegans RTN2 homolog loss-of-function variants demonstrated morphological and behavioural differences compared to the parental strain and treatment with an endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) re-uptake inhibitor (2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone) rescued key phenotypic differences.

Biallelic variants in RTN2 gene have not yet been associated with any phenotypes in OMIM or Gene2Phenotype, while monoallelic variants have been associated with spastic paraplegia (MIM #604805) in OMIM.; to: PMID:38527963 reported the identification of seven novel or ultra-rare homozygous loss-of-function RTN2 variants in 14 individuals from seven unrelated families with distal hereditary motor neuropathy.

Review for gene: CLEC3B was set to GREEN
Added comment: 12 affected individuals from 5 multigenerational Japanese families in a small village in Miyazaki diagnosed with autosomal dominant maculoretinopathy. WES identified a pathogenic variant (p.Ala180Asp) in CLEC3B, which encodes tetranectin, a plasminogen kringle-4 binding protein. Variant cosegregated with the ocular phenotype.

Mice that received subretinal injections with CLEC3B variant displayed multiple subretinal hyperreflective deposits, reduced retinal thickness, and decreased electroretinographic responses. The optokinetic tracking response indicated that spatial frequency was significantly lower (P < .05), implying impaired visual function in the mice.

Mendeliome v1.342 ACVR1 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a rare autosomal dominant disease with complete penetrance involving progressive ossification of skeletal muscle, fascia, tendons, and ligaments. FOP has a prevalence of approximately 1 in 2 million worldwide, and shows no geographic, ethnic, racial, or gender preference. Individuals with FOP appear normal at birth except for great toe abnormalities: the great toes are short, deviated, and monophalangic. Ossification occurs progressively over the course of a lifetime in an inevitable and unpredictable episodic manner.

Multiple unrelated families reported. The R206H variant is recurrent.

Added comment: Biallelic SIK3 variants reported in 2 siblings from a consanguineous family with an uncharacterised skeletal dysplasia. Radiographic features included widened/flared metaphyses with irregular ossifications, motheaten long bones, fragmentation of the proximal metacarpals, rounded vertebral bodies, and a distinctive transverse gap seen in the tibias.

In addition to the skeletal phenotype, the siblings manifested significant developmental delay with brain MRI abnormalities, a severe unclassified immunodeficiency, and normal parathyroid hormone concentration with mild hypercalcemia.

One sibling had a more severe phenotype, particularly immunodeficiency, and died of Epstein-Barr virus induced small muscle cancer at 10 years of age.

Mouse models support impaired chondrocyte development with skeletal dysplasia phenotye.

Added comment: Gene is classified as Limited by the ClinGen ARVC GCEP (Classification - 08/06/2019). PMID: 23136403 - an assumed de novo missense (V94D) was identified in an Italian proband with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. An inframe deletion (Leu765del) was identified in a proband with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, and was also present in the proband's asymptomatic father and paternal aunt, who had mild right ventricular dilation on echocardiography and increased trabeculations in the right ventricular apex on MRI, respectively, as well as in the aunt's asymptomatic son. There was supporting in vitro functional assay evidence for both variants. PMID: 21254927 - a missense variant was found in one of 55 Danish ARVD patients, but was found 37 times in 276,338 (1 homozygous) reference alleles in gnomAD making it less likely as a causal variant. PMID: 22421363 - null mice exhibit progressive dilated cardiomyopathy, gap junction remodelling, and increased sensitivity to ventricular arrhythmia following acute ischaemia, but not spontaneous ARVC. Additional publications identified - PMID: 30415094 - a VUS identified in a sudden unexpected death case with slight LV hypertrophy. PMID: 31539150 - 2 VUS and a nonsense variant identified in 3 probands with atrial fibrillation, with the nonsense variant segregating in an affected first-degree relative.

Mendeliome v0.2759 TNRC6B Zornitza Stark edited their review of gene: TNRC6B: Added comment: 17 unrelated individuals with heterozygous TNRC6B variants reported. Features included hypotonia (10/17), DD/ID (17/17 - ID was not universal: average IQ of 12 individuals was 73 (range : 50-113) with 4 having below 70), ADHD (11/17), ASD or autistic traits (8/17 and 5/17). Some/few presented with abnormal OFC (micro- / macrocephaly in 3/17 and 2/17), abnormal vision or hearing, variable other congenital anomalies, echocardiographic, GI or renal abnormalities, etc. Epilepsy was reported in 1/17. There was no recognisable gestalt.Detected variants included 14 pLoF, 1 missense SNV and 2 intragenic deletions. Variants had occurred as de novo events in 10/13 subjects for whom testing of both parents was possible. 3/13 subjects had inherited the variant from a parent with milder phenotype. Based on the type of variants identified, the pLI score of 1 in gnomAD and the HI index of 5.61%, the authors suggest haploinsufficiency as the most likely mechanism. Individuals with de novo TNRC6B variants have also been reported in larger cohorts (e.g. DDD study - PMID: 28135719, Iossifov et al - PMID: 25363768, Lelieveld et al - PMID: 27479843, Jónsson et al - PMID: 28959963).

Added comment: 2 unrelated Chinese families reported with rare homozygous variants (one missense, one nonsense) and Leber congenital amaurosis. Animal knockout functional studies supported gene-disease association.

PMID: 30573563 "By analysing WES data based on allele frequencies of in-house controls, population allele frequencies and in silico prediction tools, two rare homozygous mutations in USP45 were identified in two unrelated families. Immunohistochemistry of USP45 in the human and zebrafish retinal sections revealed enriched expression in the inner segments of photoreceptors. The knockdown of usp45 transcript in zebrafish led to abnormal retinal development with effects on photoreceptors, which could be successfully rescued by wild-type usp45 mRNA. Moreover, targeted knockout of Usp45 in mice caused abnormal electroretinography responses, similar to that seen in patients with LCA."

Affected individuals carrying de novo non-synonymous variants involving the C-terminal region presented a more severe phenotype with additional neurological features, including central visual impairment, hyperkinetic movement disorder, and epilepsy or electroencephalography abnormalities. Reconstituted fusion involving a lipid-mixing assay indicated impairment in vesicle fusion as one of the possible associated disease mechanisms.
