gene: CEP295 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: 4 children from 2 unrelated families with Seckel-like syndrome - severe primary microcephaly, short stature, developmental delay, intellectual disability, facial deformities, and abnormalities of fingers and toes. WES identified biallelic pathogenic variants in CEP295 gene (p(Q544∗) and p(R1520∗); p(R55Efs∗49) and p(P562L)).

Patient-derived fibroblasts and CEP295-depleted U2OS and RPE1 cells were used to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Depletion of CEP295 resulted in a decrease in the numbers of centrioles and centrosomes and triggered p53-dependent G1 cell cycle arrest. Loss of CEP295 caused extensive primary ciliary defects in both patient-derived fibroblasts and RPE1 cells. The results from complementary experiments revealed that the wild-type CEP295, but not the mutant protein, can correct the developmental defects of the centrosome/centriole and cilia in the patient-derived skin fibroblasts.

SEL1L protein is involved in the SEL1L-HRD1 endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation.

Report two biallelic missense variants in SEL1L in six children from three independent families presenting with developmental delay, intellectual disability, microcephaly, facial dysmorphisms, hypotonia and/or ataxia (termed ERAD-associated neurodevelopment disorder with onset in infancy (ENDI). The variants were hypomorphic and impaired ERAD function.

Identified by WES. Parents heterozygous and asymptomatic. P.(Gly585Asp) in Patient 1, p.(Met528Arg) in Patients 2 and 3 (siblings).

All variants cause substrate accumulation. The extent of substrate accumulation in knockin cells was modest compared to those in knockout cells, pointing to a hypomorphic nature.

They also had a variant in HRD1.



Weis paper PMID: 37943617

Third variant p.(Cys141Tyr), biallelic, causing premature death in five patients from a consanguineous family with early-onset neurodevelopmental disorders and agammaglobulinaemia due to severe SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD dysfunction.

This variant appears to have a more severe outcome, exhibiting B cell depletion and agammaglobulinaemia, causing the most severe dysfunction among all of the variants described by this group so far. They postulate that functionality of SEL1L-HRD1 ERAD is inversely correlated with disease severity in humans.

Their symptoms were dev delay, neurological disorder and agammaglobulinaemia in childhood. Along with severe axial hypotonia, short stature and microcephaly.

“Not a complete loss-of-function variant”.

Review for gene: POU3F2 was set to GREEN
Added comment: We associate ultra-rare variants in POU3F2, encoding a central nervous system transcription factor, with syndromic obesity and neurodevelopment delay in 12 individuals. Demonstrate variant pathogenicity through in vitro analysis. Used exome sequencing, GeneMatcher and Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project rare disease database.

Both truncating and missense variants in over 10 individuals sharing autism spectrum disorder, NDD, and adolescent-onset obesity (may have had other features eg. CAKUT in 2 individuals, diabetes in two) . Affected individuals presented with low-to-normal birth weight and infantile feeding difficulties but developed insulin resistance and hyperplasia during childhood. With the exception of an early truncating variant, the variants showed adequate nuclear translocation but overall disturbed DNA-binding ability and promoter activation.

Variants absent from population and clinical databases. Almost all constituted putatively non-inherited de novo variants (8/10).

Functional studies provide evidence for loss of function in eight and gain of function in one obesity-associated POU3F2 variant. One variant did not impact POU3F2-promoter activation, leaving the possibility for further path-mechanisms.

Added comment: 17 individuals from 16 families reported with mostly de novo variants. Variants were a mixture of missense, nonsense/frameshift (both NMD-predicted and not NMD-predicted) and microdeletions. In one family, only one parent was available for testing. In another family, 2 affected siblings had the variant but the variant was not identified in either parent suggesting germline mosaicism.

Functional testing of a subset of variants in Drosophila supported pathogenicity in most, but 2 missense variants showed no functional effect and were classified VUS. Episignature analysis (EpiSign) on patient DNA from blood showed a specific DNA methylation signature in patients with the variants classified pathogenic but not those classified VUS.

Phenotypes included mainly neurological abnormalities (mild to moderate ID/dev delay, motor delay, speech delay, and behavioural disorders) and facial dysmorphisms.

Other features included hypotonia (11/16), variable brain abnormalities on MRI (6/12), variable cardiac malformations (6/14). urogenital malformations e.g. hypospadias, cryptorchidism (6/13), scoliosis (5/17) and/or variable other skeletal abnormalities (10/17).

Added comment: PMID:21937992 reported a family with recessive missense KDM5A variant presenting with an undefined developmental disorder characterised with intellectual disability and facial dysmorphisms.

PMID:33350388 reported nine patients from seven unrelated families identified with variants in KDM5A, of which three unrelated patients harboured heterozygous variants, while six patients from four unrelated families had homozygous variants. These patients presented with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a spectrum of neurodevelopmental phenotypes including intellectual disability, lack of speech, developmental delay and motor impairment.

In addition, loss of KDM5A has resulted in repetitive behaviors, sociability deficits, cognitive dysfunction, and abnormal dendritic morphogenesis in mice.

This gene has already been associated with phenotype in Gene2Phenotype (biallelic inheritance with 'limited' rating), but not in OMIM.

Added comment: Five individuals with the same heterozygous de novo variant in MTSS2 (NM_138383.2: c.2011C>T [p.Arg671Trp]) identified by exome sequencing.

The individuals presented with global developmental delay, mild intellectual disability, ophthalmological anomalies, microcephaly or relative microcephaly, and shared mild facial dysmorphisms.

Immunoblots of fibroblasts from two affected individuals revealed that the variant does not significantly alter MTSS2 levels. We modeled the variant in Drosophila and showed that the fly ortholog missing-in-metastasis (mim) was widely expressed in most neurons and a subset of glia of the CNS. Loss of mim led to a reduction in lifespan, impaired locomotor behavior, and reduced synaptic transmission in adult flies. Expression of the human MTSS2 reference cDNA rescued the mim loss-of-function (LoF) phenotypes, whereas the c.2011C>T variant had decreased rescue ability compared to the reference, suggesting it is a partial LoF allele. However, elevated expression of the variant, but not the reference MTSS2 cDNA, led to similar defects as observed by mim LoF, suggesting that the variant is toxic and may act as a dominant-negative allele when expressed in flies.

Added comment: Klöckner (2022 - PMID: 35202461) describe the phenotype of 6 individuals (from 5 unrelated families) harboring biallelic CHKA variants.

Shared features incl. abnormal muscle tone(6/6 - hypertonia or hypotonia, 3/6 each), DD/ID (6/6,severe in 4, severe/profound in 2), epilepsy (6/6 - onset: infancy - 3y2m | epileptic spasms or GS at onset), microcephaly (6/6), movement disorders (3/6 - incl. dyskinesia, rigidity, choreoatetotic movements). 2/5 individuals exhibited MRI abnormalities, notably hypomyelination. Short stature was observed in 4/6.

Eventual previous genetic testing was not discussed.

Exome sequencing (quattro ES for 2 sibs, trio ES for 1 individual, singleton for 3 probands) revealed biallelic CHKA variants in all affected individuals. Sanger sequencing was performed for confirmation and segregation studies.

Other variants (in suppl.) were not deemed to be causative for the neurodevelopmental phenotype.

3 different missense, 1 start-loss and 1 truncating variant were identified, namely (NM_0012772.2):
- c.421C>T/p.(Arg141Trp) [3 hmz subjects from 2 consanguineous families],
- c.580C>T/p.Pro194Ser [1 hmz individual born to consanguineous parents],
- c.2T>C/p.(Met1?) [1 hmz individual born to related parents],
- c.14dup/p.(Cys6Leufs*19) in trans with c.1021T>C/p.(Phe341Leu) in 1 individual.

CHKA encodes choline kinase alpha, an enzyme catalyzing the first step of phospholipid synthesis in the Kennedy pathway. The pathway is involved in de novo synthesis of glycerophospholipids, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine being the most abundant in eukaryotic membranes.

CHKA with its paralog (CHKB) phosphorylates either choline or ethanolamine to phosphocholine or phosphoethanolamine respectively with conversion of ATP to ADP.

As the authors comment, biallelic pathogenic variants in CHKB cause a NDD with muscular dystrophy, hypotonia, ID, microcephaly and structural mitochondrial anomalies (MIM 602541). [Prominent mitochondrial patterning was observed in a single muscle biopsy available from an individual with biallelic CHKA variants].

Other disorders of the Kennedy pathway (due to biallelic PCYT2, SELENOI, PCYT1A variants) present with overlapping features incl. variable DD/ID (no-severe), microcephaly, seizures, visual impairment etc.

CHKA variants were either absent or observed once in gnomAD, affected highly conserved AAs with multiple in silico predictions in favor of a deleterious effect.

In silico modeling suggests structural effects for several of the missense variants (Arg141Trp, Pro194Ser presumably affect ADP binding, Phe341 lying close to the binding site of phosphocholine).

Each of the missense variants was expressed in yeast cells and W. Blot suggested expression at the expected molecular weight at comparative levels. The 3 aforementioned variants exhibited reduced catalytic activity (20%, 15%, 50% respectively).

NMD is thought to underly the deleterious effect of the frameshift one (not studied).

The start-loss variant is expected to result in significantly impaired expression and protein function as eventual utilization of the next possible start codon - occurring at position 123 - would remove 26% of the protein.

Chka(-/-) is embryonically lethal in mice, suggesting that complete loss is not compatible with life. Reduction of choline kinase activity by 30% in heterozygous mice did not appear to result in behavioral abnormalities although this was not studied in detail (PMID cited: 18029352). Finally, screening of 1566 mouse lines identified 198 genes whose disruption yields neuroanatomical phenotypes, Chka(+/-) mice being among these (PMID cited: 31371714).

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM, Gene2Phenotype or SysID.

Overall this gene can be considered for inclusion in the ID and epilepsy panes with green or amber rating (>3 individuals, >3 variants, variant studies, overlapping phenotype of disorders belonging to the same pathway, etc).

The phenotype is highly variable, but most patients have features of a systemic vascular inflammatory disorder with skin ulceration and recurrent strokes affecting the small vessels of the brain resulting in neurologic dysfunction. Other features may include recurrent fever, elevated acute-phase proteins, myalgias, lesions resembling polyarteritis nodosa, and/or livedo racemosa or reticularis with an inflammatory vasculitis on biopsy. Some patients may have renal and/or gastrointestinal involvement, hypertension, aneurysms, or ischemic necrosis of the digits. Some affected individuals have immunodeficiency.

Added comment: Immunodeficiency-77 (IMD77) is an immunologic disorder characterized by recurrent and persistent polymicrobial infections with multiple unusual organisms. Skin and pulmonary infections are the most common, consistent with increased susceptibility to epithelial cell infections. The age at onset is highly variable: some patients have recurrent infections from childhood, whereas others present in late adulthood. The limited number of reported patients are all female, suggesting incomplete penetrance or a possible sex-influenced trait. Patient cells, mainly macrophages, show impaired killing of intracellular bacteria and organisms, including nontubercular mycobacteria, although there is also impaired killing of other organisms, such as Pseudomonas, Candida, and Aspergillus.

Four individuals reported, functional data, including animal model.

--

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).

Reconstituted fusion involving a lipid-mixing assay indicated impairment in vesicle fusion as one of the possible associated disease mechanisms.
