Publications for gene: UNC13B were set to 33876820
Phenotypes for gene: UNC13B were set to Epilepsy
Review for gene: UNC13B was set to RED
Added comment: No OMIM human disease association. Gene encodes a presynaptic protein Munc13-2 highly expressed in the brain (predominantly cerebral cortex).

Variant interpretation data in human epilepsy cohort somewhat conflicting and restricted to a single study. Conflicting data esp regarding MOI, and evidence for pathogenicity of several of the variants is limited.

Wang et al, Brain, 2021 - trio-based whole-exome sequencing identified UNC13B in 12 individuals affected by partial epilepsy and/or febrile seizures from 8 unrelated families. Identified:
x1 de novo nonsense variant, absent in gnomad, damaging in silicos
x1 de novo splice site, absent in gnomad, damaging in silicos
x1 splice site variant present in unaffected mother (low frequency in gnomad)
x2 compound het in one individual - more severe phenotype postulated (x1 variant present in contro cohortl, the other variant present in low frequency in gnomad)
x1 missense variant - in Han Chinese major depressive disorders study, not in gnomad
x1 missense variant - highly conserved residue, not in gnomad
x2 other missense variant - highly conserved residue, low frequency in gnomad
Latter 4 missense variants cosegregated with affected individuals in the families

In Drosophila, seizure rate and duration were increased by Unc13b knockdown compared to wild-type flies, but these effects were less pronounced than in sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 1 (Scn1a) knockdown Drosophila

De novo UNC13B variants previously reported in bipolar disorder and autism spectrum disorder

Added comment: 11 individuals reported, 9 that carried 8 different rare heterozygous missense variants in CLCN3, and 2 siblings that were homozygous for an NMD-predicted frameshift variant likely abolishing ClC-3 function. All missense variants were confirmed to be de novo in eight individuals for whom parental data was available.

The 11 individuals in the cohort share clinical features of variable severity. All 11 have GDD or ID and dysmorphic features, and a majority has mood or behavioural disorders and structural brain abnormalities:
- Structural brain abnormalities on MRI (9/11) included partial or full agenesis of the corpus callosum (6/9), disorganized cerebellar folia (4/9), delayed myelination (3/9), decreased white matter volume (3/9), pons hypoplasia (3/9), and dysmorphic dentate nuclei (3/9). Six of those with brain abnormalities also presented with seizures.
- Nine have abnormal vision, including strabismus in four and inability to fix or follow in the two with homozygous loss-of-function variants.
- Hypotonia ranging from mild to severe was reported in 7 of the 11 individuals.
- Six have mood or behavioural disorders, particularly anxiety (3/6).
- Consistent dysmorphic facial features included microcephaly, prominent forehead, hypertelorism, down-slanting palpebral fissures, full cheeks, and micrognathia.

The severity of disease in the two siblings with homozygous disruption of ClC-3 is consistent with the drastic phenotype seen in Clcn3 KO mice. The disease was more severe in two siblings carrying homozygous loss-of-function variants with the presence of GDD, absent speech, seizures, and salt and pepper fundal pigmentation in both individuals, with one deceased at 14 months of age. The siblings also had significant neuroanatomical findings including diffusely decreased white matter volume, thin corpora callosa, small hippocampi, and disorganized cerebellar folia. Supporting biallelic inheritance for LoF variants, disruption of mouse Clcn3 results in drastic neurodegeneration with loss of the hippocampus a few months after birth and early retinal degeneration. Clcn3−/− mice display severe neurodegeneration, whereas heterozygous Clcn3+/− mice appear normal.

Patch-clamp studies were used to investigate four of the missense variants. These suggested a gain of function in two variants with increased current in HEK cells, however they also showed reduced rectification of voltage and a loss of transient current, plus decreased current amplitude, glycosylation and surface expression when expressed in oocytes, and were suspected to interfere with channel gating and a negative feedback mechanism. These effects were also shown to vary depending on pH levels. The current of the remaining two variants did not differ from WT. For heterozygous missense variants, the disruption induced may be at least partially conferred to mutant/WT homodimers and mutant/ClC-4 heterodimers.

Both loss and gain of function in this gene resulted in the same phenotype.

Mendeliome v0.8292 IRX5 Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Associated with Hamamy syndrome #611174 (AR) in OMIM. Hamamy syndrome is characterised by craniofacial dysmorphism, hearing loss, skeletal anomalies, microcytic hypochromic anemia and congenital heart defects. Severe myopia has also been reported. Homozygous missense variants in IRX5 were reported in 2 families with this condition.

Cone dystrophy
-------------------
PMID: 33891002 - Khol et al 2021 - report 3 unrelated families with duplications of a region covering the genes IRX5 and IRX6 completely, and the proximal exons of MMP2 and cone dystrophy. They propose that overexpression of IRX5 and IRX6 may be the cause of the disease, and this is supported by expression analysis in patient-derived fibroblasts and zebrafish experiments.

Initial family is a large 5 generation German family with 14 members with autosomal dominant cone dystrophy in which a 600kb duplicated region covering IRX5/IRX6 and part of MMP2 was identified. 2 additional families of Chinese and Dutch descent with copy number gains of ~700 and ~850 kb, covering the same region were then identified. The smallest region of overlap is 608kb. In addition another family of German decent is reported with adCD and the same duplication as the first German family. It is not known if they are distantly related. Segregation analysis on available members of all families showed the duplication in affected members and not in unaffected.

They find that IRX5, IRX6 and MMP2 are expressed in human adult retina. Several lincRNA within the locus are also expressed. In patient derived fibroblasts IRX5 and IRX6 showed increased expression levels. Over expression of IRX5 and IRX6 results in impaired visual performance in zebrafish larvae.; to: Associated with Hamamy syndrome #611174 (AR) in OMIM.

Mendeliome v0.7135 LAMP2 Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: XLD. Vacuolar cardiomyopathy and myopathy. Gene encodes lysosome-associated membrane protein-2.; to: XLD. Gene encodes lysosome-associated membrane protein-2.

Danon disease is an X-linked dominant disorder predominantly affecting cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle involvement and mental retardation are variable features. The accumulation of glycogen in muscle and lysosomes originally led to the classification of Danon disease as a variant of glycogen storage disease II (Pompe disease) with 'normal acid maltase' or alpha-glucosidase, however, it may be more accurately classified as a lysosomal disorder.

Added comment: 28 unrelated patients with ID, ASD, Rett-like features, seizures/EE, and de novo heterozygous GRIA2 mutations. In functional expression studies, mutations led to a decrease in agonist-evoked current mediated by mutant subunits compared to wild-type channels. When GluA2 subunits are co-expressed with GluA1, most GRIA2 mutations cause a decreased current amplitude and some also affect voltage rectification.
