Skeletal dysplasia v4.49 TP53 Sarah Leigh changed review comment from: PMID: 33147331 reports inactivating somatic TP53 variants in dedifferentiated components of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. Due to the distribution of TP53 variants in the tumours, the authors of PMID: 33147331, conclude that these variants occur late in tumorigenesis, giving rise to the dedifferentiated component in DDCS.

gene: TP53 was added to Skeletal dysplasia. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: TP53 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: TP53 were set to PMID: 33147331
Phenotypes for gene: TP53 were set to Central conventional chondrosrcoma
Review for gene: TP53 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Inactivating mutations in TP53 are common in dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDCS) and, in a subset of cases, the TP53 mutation is restricted to the dedifferentiated nonchondrogenic component (8/11, 73% of the cases tested). Half of the tumours where the conventional chondrogenic component was paired with the high-grade non-chondrogenic component showed TP53 mutation in the chondrogenic area (3/6, 50%). These findings imply that TP53 alterations occur late in tumorigenesis, potentially with a TP53-mutant subclone that progresses to the dedifferentiated component in DDCS. Identification of TP53 mutation in an otherwise low-grade central chondrosarcoma may indicate the tumor is at increased risk of dedifferentiation.
Genetic testing for TP53 along with IDH1, IDH2 and TERT promoter mutations in central conventional chondrosarcoma could be useful in patient stratification.

Added comment: This gene is associated with an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by developmental delay, intellectual disability, and variable dysmorphic and skeletal abnormalities. Expressivity is variable and non-penetrance has been reported. As the skeletal features might appear before the ID/DD I think this gene should be added to the SD panel. We recently found a pathogenic fs in this gene in a child with short stature, short long bones and facial dysmorphism but without mention of DD/ID; however case was only 10m old at referral.

Review for gene: DVL2 was set to GREEN
Added comment: De novo fs variant in final exon of DVL2 identified in patient with clinical diagnosis of Robinow syndrome. This leads to a 103 residue missense tail extending beyond the WT stop codon. A number of similar fs variants have been identified in DVL1 and DVL3 leading to autosomal dominant Robinow syndrome; these variants also lead to extended missense tails and are therefore thought to act via a very specific gain of function mechanism (LOF variants in these genes do not lead to Robinow). DVL1, 2 and 3 share considerable homology (59-67%) and have overlapping function during development.
Only reported in 1 case but the very specific nature of the mutation explains rareity. Should be tested as Green.

Added comment: A detailed phenotypic picture of Osteosclerotic metaphyseal dysplasia (OSMD) in patients with LRRK1 variants can be seen in table 1 of Howaldt et al (2020).

Lida et al (2016) identified homozygous deletion that is predicted to result in elongation of protein (p.E1980Afs*66) in a child with OSMD. Child was born to consanguineous parents, both heterozygous for variant.

Guo et al (2017) identified a family with OSMD. Healthy, non-consanguineous parents have two children with OSMD that are homozygous for 1bp insertion in LRRK1 that is predicted to result in a frame-shift and produce an elongated protein (p.A1991Gfs*31) without nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. A similar effect seen in Lida et al (2016).

Howaldt et al (2020) shows a patient with a homozygous splice site mutation resulting in near complete skipping of exon 3 in cDNA leading to a frameshift (p.Ala34Profs*33). The variant segregated with disorder in the family with parents being heterozygous for the variant and clinically unaffected.

Miryounesi et al (2020) identified a patient with suspected OSMD from healthy, consanguineous parents. Patient is homozygous for stop gain mutation (c.2785G > T, p.E929X) in LRRK1. Parents are heterozygous for the variant.

Homozygous nonsense variant in LRRK1 also identified in an individual recruited to the 100,000 genomes project for skeletal dysplasia, Osteosclerotic metaphyseal dysplasia is considered a good fit for phenotype.

LRRK1 gene should be included in the skeletal dysplasia panel as a green gene at the next GMS panel update.

Added comment: Clinical features like short stature, rhizomelia, laxity of the small joints, cleft palete and developmental delay also tend to occur in Skeletal dysplasia.

ARCN1 gene encodes the coatomer subunit delta of COPI which is a coatomer protein complex responsible for intracellular protein transport. The importance of this mechanisms is underscored by various skeletal disorders. COPI-mediated transport is important in human development, including skeletogenesis and brain growth.

Added comment: Three unrelated families reported (though two shown to be related by descent) with predominantly a skeletal phenotype comprising mesomelic shortening and deformation of the lower limbs due to severe hypoplasia of the tibia and fibula. This was accompanied by abnormalities of the digits of the hands and feet, with cutaneous and osseous syndactyly as well as dysplastic, missing, and/or volar nails. In addition, genitourinary anomalies were observed in some.

Homozygous deletions identified in all, with the minimal deleted region being a 27-kb interval (chr2: 118,561,492-118,589,320) located approximately 300 kb upstream of the EN1 gene.

Mouse model recapitulated the phenotype.

An additional fourth individual had cerebellar hypoplasia in addition to the skeletal phenotype, and a bi-allelic LoF variant.

Added comment: PMID: 33276377 - Martin et al 2020 - report 13 affected individuals from 7 unrelated families identified through various different cohort analysis (vertebral malformation, renal hypodysplasia, syndromic esophageal atresia, multiple congenital anomalies) in whom a WBP11 heterozygous variant is considered the top causative candidate. 5 identified variants were predicted to be protein truncating whilst the 6th was a missense variant. All variants are absent from population databases. In family 1, the variant was inherited from the apparently unaffected mother, indicating reduced penetrance, and phenotypic variance within families was observed. Phenotypes covered cardiac, vertebral, renal, craniofacial and gastrointestinal systems. At least at least 5 of the patients affected had features in three component organs so can be considered a VACTERL association. Wbp11 heterozygous null mice had vertebral and renal anomalies.

Vertebral anomalies were noted in 6/13 patients from 5 families. One patient had congenital scoliosis and one abnormalities of the right upper ribs. Genomics England clinical team suggest it just meets the threshold for the skeletal dysplasia panel.

Added comment: SMAD6 is frequently mutated in non-syndromic radioulnar synostosis.Using exome seq the authors found 16 LOF and 6 rare missense variants in sporadic cases, which was a highly significant association. The findings were replicated in a different cohort. Four cases had de novo variants and others were inherited in a dominant fashion.
SMAD6 LOF variants have also been shown to be enriched in mid-line craniosynostosis and in certain cardiac disorders. It isn't yet clear if a variant can cause different phenotypes in the same family or combinations of these phenotypes in the same individual. Genotype-phenotype correlation is not understood.
This gene is currently tested diagnostically in cases of mid-line craniosynostosis and is green on panel R100.

All had splice alterations at the same position (c.1333+1G>A or G>T) together with a missense (p.Ala368Thr or p.Leu370Pro) or in-frame deletion (p.Val618_Lys619del). One variant was inherited from each parent. 2 of the 3 children had short stature. Imaging showed that they had abnormalities affecting the vertebrae and pelvis. Studies on patient dermal fibroblasts showed that the splice-variant results in skipping of exon 9 leading to an out-of-frame product and nonsense-mediated transcript decay and that there was decreased RINT1 protein levels, abnormal Golgi morphology, and impaired autophagic flux compared to control fibroblasts.; to: Associated with Infantile liver failure syndrome 3 #618641 (AR) in OMIM.

Skeletal dysplasia v2.70 NPR2 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: NPR2: PMID: 33288834 - Simsek-Kiper et al 2020 - they investigated 26 AMDM patients from 22 unrelated families. Sanger sequencing of NPR2 was performed in 23 patients and exome sequencing was performed in 5 patients They found
NPR2 variants in 23 patients (19 were homozygotes, 4 were compound heterozygotes). 22 distinct NPR2 (NM_003995) variants (14 missense, 5 nonsense, 2 intronic, and 1 single-amino acid deletion) were detected. In 14 families, segregation analysis was performed and showed the heterozygous NPR2 carrier status of the parents. Detailed radiographic evaluations were done, showing osteopenia, shortness in long tubular bones, radial bowing and radial head dislocation in the majority of cases. Other phenotypic features included motor developmental delay (11/23), global developmental delay/intellectual disability (GDD/ID) (5/23), spinal canal stenosis (2/23), and atlantoaxial dislocation (1/23), renal abnormalities and oligodontia. However, the authors note that the high level of parental consanguinity (18 patients) might have contributed to these phenotypes, from other gene variants.
The height of carrier parents was also assessed and found to be significantly lower than controls.
Skeletal dysplasia v2.67 GZF1 Eleanor Williams edited their review of gene: GZF1: Added comment: Associated with Joint laxity, short stature, and myopia #617662 (AR) in OMIM.

As reported by Zornitza Stark, PMID: 33009817 (Zeng et al 2020) reported two Chinese sisters who presented with severe myopia, scoliosis and hearing loss. Using WES they identified two compound heterozygous variants in GZF1 (c.397400del, p. Leu133fs; c.1474del, p. Met492fs). The parents were heterozygous carriers of the variants. Functional data showed decreased levels of HA‐tagged M492fs‐GZF1 protein and no HA-tagged L133fs‐GZF1 protein or the control vector. HA‐tagged M492fs‐GZF1 protein was also localized to the cytoplasm rather than the nuclei in which wild type protein was found.

PMID: 31263216 (2019) - In two sets of brothers from unrelated consanguineous families, sequencing revealed homozygosity for a 10-bp deletion (c.904-12_904-3delCTATCACCAC) in the PISD gene. The patients presented with Liberfarb syndrome, characterised by skeletal dysplasia, short stature, early-onset retinal degeneration, developmental delay, microcephaly, and hearing loss. Authors noted phenotypic overlap with another previously described case (PMID: 3561949 (1986)), prompting follow-up investigation using paraffin-embedded tissue which yielded an identical homozygous variant. Haplotype analysis indicated a founder effect between all five individuals.

Skeletal dysplasia v1.340 ALX1 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: ALX1: This gene is provisionally associated with ?Frontonasal dysplasia 3 (#613456) in OMIM. Has a confirmed association with FRONTONASAL DYSPLASIA TYPE 3 in Gene2Phenotype.

PMID: 20451171 - Uz et al. (2010) - 2 families presenting with autosomal-recessive frontonasal dysplasia (FND) characterized by bilateral extreme microphthalmia, bilateral oblique facial cleft, complete cleft palate, hypertelorism, wide nasal bridge with hypoplasia of the ala nasi, and low-set, posteriorly rotated ears in two distinct families. In one family they found a three siblings were affected, and CNV analysis of the critical region showed a homozygous 3.7 Mb deletion containing the ALX1 (CART1) gene. In the second family a homozygous donor-splice-site mutation (c.531+1G > A) in the ALX1 gene was found.

PMID: 27324866 - Ullah et al 2017 - report a consanguineous family from Pakistan with four individuals presenting a milder form of Frontonasal dysplasia. Using exome sequencing, a homozygous splice acceptor site variant has been identified in the ALX1 gene. The affected individuals had ptosis (drooping upper eyelid), small and upslanting palpebral fissures, blepharophimosis, broad nasal root, wide prominent nasal bridge, short and wide nasal ridge, broad columella, smooth philtrum, and mouth protrusion accompanied by teeth protrusion NOTE: no clefting reported in the individuals from this family.

PMID: 26610632 - Lyons et al 2015 - The “Contemporary” Burmese lineage of cats has a more brachycephalic head type. Offspring from “Contemporary” style mating produced a craniofacial defect in 25% of offspring (Noden and Evans, 1986; Sponenberg and Graf-Webster, 1986). The abnormality is characterized by agenesis of all derivatives of the medial nasal prominence; lateral duplication of most derivatives of the maxillary process; including the canine teeth and whiskers fields; telencephalic meningoencephalocele; and secondary ocular degeneration . The midline facial defect is autosomal recessive, however, carriers of the mutation are more brachycephalic individuals than wildtype, The entire ALX1 CDS sequence was analyzed in ten cats, including five affected Burmese and five controls. A 12 bp deletion (c.496delCTCTCAGGACTG) was identified in the coding region of ALX1. All the unaffected cats in the pedigree were confirmed to be homozygous wild-type or carrier of the 12 bp deletion while all the affected cats were homozygous for the identified variant. The average CDS homology between human and cat is 93.8% and the protein identity is 97.5%.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.244 RAD21 Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Associated with Cornelia de Lange syndrome 4 614701 in OMIM. Clinical features listed include short stature and limb defects.

OMIM: - 2 cases reported in OMIM with Cornelia de Lange syndrome-4 (PMID: 22633399, Deardorff et al 2012) with de novo heterozygous missense mutations in RAD21. Phenotypic features include Clinodactyly, short (1 patients) and thin (1 patient) fingers and additional skeletal features of pectus carinatum, coxa vara, short femoral neck in one case. An additional 3 patients with overlapping deletions covering RAD21 (aswell as other genes) were identified.

Other publications with patients with Cornelia de Lange and RAD21 variants:

PMID: 30716475 - Dorval et al 2019 - 1 patient - mild phenotype - gastro-oesophageal reflux, progressive microcephaly, which stabilised at about – 3SD, moderate fine motor delay and speech delay.

PMID: 24378232 - Minor et al., 2014 - 2 patients with atypic Cornelia de Lange. Patient 1 - in frame deletion of exon 13 - presented with developmental delay, hypospadias, inguinal hernia and dysmorphic features, mild 5th finger clinodactyly. This deletion was found to be inherited from the mother who had a history of melanoma and other unspecified medical problems.
Patient 2 - c.592_593dup frameshift mutation - presented with developmental delay, characteristic facial features, hirsutism, and hand and feet anomalies (clinodactyly, syndactyly). The mother had the same frameshift mutation showing incomplete penetrance.

Skeletal dysplasia v1.242 SULF1 Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Not associated with any phenotype in OMIM or Gene2Phenotype.

PMID: 20602915 - Isidor et al 2010 - using whole-genome oligonucleotide array CGH, they identified an interstitial deletion at 8q13 in 5 patients from 4 unrelated families with Mesomelia-synostoses syndrome. The deletions vary from 582 Kb to 738 Kb in size, but invariably encompass only two genes: SULF1 and SLCO5A1. Breakpoint sequence analyses performed in two families showed nonrecurrent deletions. Codeletion of SULF1 and SLCO5A1was found in all patients, suggesting that haploinsufficiency of SULF1 combined with haploinsufficiency of SLCO5A1 (or the altered expression of a neighboring gene through position effect) could be necessary in the pathogenesis of MSS.

PMID: 28328141 - Kohmoto et al 2017 - report the first Japanese case with MSS diagnosed by detecting an 8q13 deletion (581 Kb monoallelic deletion) that resulted from a unique, distant L1s‐mediated unequal NAHR event, which is different from the possible mechanisms proposed in previously reported cases. The deletion encompasses SULF1, SLCO5A1, and LINC01603. The size of the 8q13 deletion was different from those of any of the four reported deletions responsible for MSS (Isidor et al., 2010). The deletion could not be confirmed as de novo because of the unavailability of parental DNA.

PMID: 30450550 - Dardis et al 2019 - describe the first patient affected by MSS without the previously described 8q13 deletions. Patient is an 8‐year‐old 46,XY male presenting the radiological and clinical hallmarks of MSS. Microdeletions of SULF1 and SLCO5A1 genes at 8q13 were absent. Sequencing of SULF1 and SLCO5A1 found 4 polymorphisms but no pathogenic mutations. However, it was found that there was monoallelic expression of SULF1 in the patient's cells, likely leading to SULF1 haploinsufficiency. There may be either a deletion of a portion of SULF1 gene not detectable by PCR or CGH array or mutations or epigenetic alterations in sequences that contribute to the regulation of SULF1 expression.

Summary, there are 5 cases where deletions covering both SULF1 and SLCO5A1 are found in patients with MSS. There is one case of MSS in a patient with no detectable deletions of SULF1 and SLCO5A1, but with monoallelic expression of SULF1. There is no current regions curated by ClinGen that cover these genes.; to: Not associated with any phenotype in OMIM or Gene2Phenotype.

Skeletal dysplasia v1.242 TGDS Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Associated with Catel-Manzke syndrome #616145 (AR) in OMIM.

PMID: 25480037 - Ehmke et al 2014 - Catel-Manzke syndrome is characterized by Pierre Robin sequence and a unique form of bilateral hyperphalangy causing a clinodactyly of the index finger. They identified homozygous and compound heterozygous mutations in TGDS in seven unrelated individuals with typical Catel-Manzke syndrome by exome sequencing. Six different TGDS mutations were detected: c.892A>G (p.Asn298Asp), c.270_271del (p.Lys91Asnfs(∗)22), c.298G>T (p.Ala100Ser), c.294T>G (p.Phe98Leu), c.269A>G (p.Glu90Gly), and c.700T>C (p.Tyr234His), all predicted to be disease causing.

PMID: 25480037 - Ehmke et al 2014 - Catel-Manzke syndrome is characterized by Pierre Robin sequence and a unique form of bilateral hyperphalangy causing a clinodactyly of the index finger. They identified homozygous and compound heterozygous mutations in TGDS in seven unrelated individuals with typical Catel-Manzke syndrome by exome sequencing. Six different TGDS mutations were detected: c.892A>G (p.Asn298Asp), c.270_271del (p.Lys91Asnfs(∗)22), c.298G>T (p.Ala100Ser), c.294T>G (p.Phe98Leu), c.269A>G (p.Glu90Gly), and c.700T>C (p.Tyr234His), all predicted to be disease causing. By using haplotype reconstruction they showed that the mutation c.298G>T is probably a founder mutation. 1 patient showed short toes, short humeri, short femora, 3 had clinodactyly V and 1 had brachymetacarpia and scoliosis.

PMID: 26366375 - Pferdehirt et al 2015 - describe a 12-month-old male with molecularly confirmed Catel-Manzke syndrome who presented with Pierre Robin sequence (but without cleft palate) and hyperphalangy. This patient is on the severe end of the phenotypic spectrum, presenting with respiratory complications and failure to thrive. He has a homozygous p.Ala100Ser pathogenic variant. Both parents are heterozygous for this variant.

PMID: 28422407 - Schoner et al 2017 - report on a fetus with severe heart defect, nuchal edema, talipes, Pierre-Robin sequence, and bilateral deviation and clinodactyly of the index and middle fingers. Postmortem radiographs showed hypoplasia and V-shaped displacement of the second and third proximal phalanges of both hands as well as hypoplasia of the first metatarsals and the phalangeal bones of the halluces. Two compound heterozygous mutations in TGDS were found: c.298G>T; p.(Ala100Ser) and c.895G>A; p.(Asp299Asn), located in the predicted substrate binding site of TGDS. Analyses of the parents’ blood DNA confirmed biparental inheritance.

Skeletal dysplasia v1.230 MANBA Eleanor Williams commented on gene: MANBA: Associated with Mannosidosis, beta #248510 (AR) in OMIM. No clear skeletal phenotype listed in the clinical features in OMIM.

>3 cases reported with homozygous or compound het variants in OMIM.

PMID: 2079835 - Kleijer et al 1990 - report a family with Mannosidosis in which a homozygous variant in the MANBA gene was later identified by Alkhayat et al. (1998). Some affected individuals showed scoliosis, one individual showed deformities of the thorax, lumbar hyperlordosis and nanism.

PMID: 16401745 - Sedel et al 2006 - 1 case of boy with beta-mannosidase deficiency. No skeletal phenotype reported.
PMID: 18980795 - Labauge et al 2009 - 1 case of boy with beta-mannosidase deficiency. No skeletal phenotype reported.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.226 KAT6A Eleanor Williams commented on gene: KAT6A: Associated with Mental retardation, autosomal dominant 32 #616268 (AD) in OMIM.

PMID: 25728777 -Tham et al 2015 - report six individuals from five unrelated families, with mutations in KAT6A detected by whole-exome sequencing. 5 different de novo heterozygous truncating mutations were identified. An additional subject with a 0.23 MB microdeletion including the entire KAT6A reading frame was identified with genome-wide array comparative genomic hybridization. Craniosynostosis was reported in 2 families. No other major skeletal abnormalities were reported.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.220 SULF1 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: SULF1: Not associated with any phenotype in OMIM or Gene2Phenotype.

PMID: 20602915 - Isidor et al 2010 - using whole-genome oligonucleotide array CGH, they identified an interstitial deletion at 8q13 in 5 patients from 4 unrelated families with Mesomelia-synostoses syndrome. The deletions vary from 582 Kb to 738 Kb in size, but invariably encompass only two genes: SULF1 and SLCO5A1. Breakpoint sequence analyses performed in two families showed nonrecurrent deletions. Codeletion of SULF1 and SLCO5A1was found in all patients, suggesting that haploinsufficiency of SULF1 combined with haploinsufficiency of SLCO5A1 (or the altered expression of a neighboring gene through position effect) could be necessary in the pathogenesis of MSS.

PMID: 28328141 - Kohmoto et al 2017 - report the first Japanese case with MSS diagnosed by detecting an 8q13 deletion (581 Kb monoallelic deletion) that resulted from a unique, distant L1s‐mediated unequal NAHR event, which is different from the possible mechanisms proposed in previously reported cases. The deletion encompasses SULF1, SLCO5A1, and LINC01603. The size of the 8q13 deletion was different from those of any of the four reported deletions responsible for MSS (Isidor et al., 2010). The deletion could not be confirmed as de novo because of the unavailability of parental DNA.

PMID: 30450550 - Dardis et al 2019 - describe the first patient affected by MSS without the previously described 8q13 deletions. Patient is an 8‐year‐old 46,XY male presenting the radiological and clinical hallmarks of MSS. Microdeletions of SULF1 and SLCO5A1 genes at 8q13 were absent. Sequencing of SULF1 and SLCO5A1 found 4 polymorphisms but no pathogenic mutations. However, it was found that there was monoallelic expression of SULF1 in the patient's cells, likely leading to SULF1 haploinsufficiency. There may be either a deletion of a portion of SULF1 gene not detectable by PCR or CGH array or mutations or epigenetic alterations in sequences that contribute to the regulation of SULF1 expression.

Summary, there are 5 cases where deletions covering both SULF1 and SLCO5A1 are found in patients with MSS. There is one case of MSS in a patient with no detectable deletions of SULF1 and SLCO5A1, but with monoallelic expression of SULF1. There is no current regions curated by ClinGen that cover these genes.

A G185T heterozygous mutation was detected in THPO. The grandfather was found to have the variant and had thrombocythemia but no limb defect.

PMID: 22453305 - Stockklausner et al 2012 - report two families with Hereditary thrombocythemia resulting from a THPO c.13+1 G>C mutation in the splice donor of intron 3. In one family there were coexisting distal limb defects in 2 out of 4 individuals with thrombocythemia (complex limb defects of the left hand in one individual, and absent proximal, middle, and distal phalanges at digits 3–5, a dysplastic proximal phalanx at digit 2 with absent middle and distal phalanx and shortened metacarpal bones at digits 3 and 4, carpal bones were partly fused to metacarpal bones at digits 2–5 in the other).
Skeletal dysplasia v1.217 TGDS Eleanor Williams commented on gene: TGDS: Associated with Catel-Manzke syndrome #616145 (AR) in OMIM.

PMID: 25480037 - Ehmke et al 2014 - Catel-Manzke syndrome is characterized by Pierre Robin sequence and a unique form of bilateral hyperphalangy causing a clinodactyly of the index finger. They identified homozygous and compound heterozygous mutations in TGDS in seven unrelated individuals with typical Catel-Manzke syndrome by exome sequencing. Six different TGDS mutations were detected: c.892A>G (p.Asn298Asp), c.270_271del (p.Lys91Asnfs(∗)22), c.298G>T (p.Ala100Ser), c.294T>G (p.Phe98Leu), c.269A>G (p.Glu90Gly), and c.700T>C (p.Tyr234His), all predicted to be disease causing. By using haplotype reconstruction they showed that the mutation c.298G>T is probably a founder mutation


In 7 patients with Catel-Manzke syndrome (616145), Ehmke et al. (2014) identified homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for mutations in the TGDS gene
Skeletal dysplasia v1.213 KIAA0753 Eleanor Williams gene: KIAA0753 was added
gene: KIAA0753 was added to Skeletal dysplasia. Sources: Other
Mode of inheritance for gene: KIAA0753 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: KIAA0753 were set to 29138412; 28220259; 26643951
Phenotypes for gene: KIAA0753 were set to ?Orofaciodigital syndrome XV 617127; Joubert syndrome; Short-rib skeletal dysplasia
Review for gene: KIAA0753 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Provisionally associated with ?Orofaciodigital syndrome XV (617127) in OMIM

PMID: 26643951 - Chevrier et al 2016 - 1 case of a newborn female presenting with an oral-facial-digital (OFD) VI syndrome in which they identified two causal heterozygous mutations in the KIAA0753 gene. Both KIAA0753 mutations, one nonsense variant (c.1891A>T; p.Lys631*) and one substitution in Intron 8 (c.1546-3C>A), were confirmed by Sanger sequencing, as well as the maternal heterozygous status for the non-sense variant.

PMID: 28220259 - Stephen et al 2017 - 2 siblings with Joubert syndrome associated with growth hormone deficiency but no oral or digital anomalies. Whole exome sequencing of the family identified compound heterozygous mutations in KIAA0753, i.e., a missense mutation (p.Arg257Gly) and an intronic mutation (c.2359-1G>C).

PMID: 29138412 - Hammarsjö et al 2017 - report biallelic pathogenic variants in KIAA0753 in four patients from 3 families with short-rib type skeletal dysplasia - ranging from prenatal lethality in one fetus to viability with moderate skeletal dysplasia in three children. 2 families had the same homozygous nonsense variant but are not thought to be related. In the 3rd family the index patient was compound heterogyzous. KIAA0753 is expressed in normal fetal human growth plate and they show that the affected fetus, with a compound heterozygous frameshift and a nonsense mutation in KIAA0753, has an abnormal proliferative zone and a broad hypertrophic zone. The importance of KIAA0753 for normal skeletal development is further confirmed by findings that zebrafish embryos homozygous for a nonsense mutation in kiaa0753 display altered cartilage patterning. In family 1, they also identified an additional homozygous missense variant, c.425 C > T (p.Thr142Met) in SLC13A5 and conclude that the seizures and teeth hypoplasia in P1 and P2 are due to the homozygous SLC13A5 variant.

Skeletal dysplasia v1.204 TMEM67 Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Associated with several phenotypes in OMIM but ?RHYNS syndrome (#609884) is the main disease phenotype that has a skeletal component. Polydactyly may also be seen in Meckel syndrome 3 (#607361).

RHYNS syndrome - 1 case:

PMID: 9375913 - Di Rocco et al. (1997) - 1 case. 17.5-year-old boy with short stature, severe bone-age retardation and exhibited mild signs of skeletal dysplasia, including generalized osteopenia, epiphyseal hypoplasia, hypoplastic iliac bones with irregular acetabular margins, and thin tubular bones. He later developed nephronophthisis. Brancati et al. (2018) (PMID: 29891882) re-assessed this patient at age 38 years and reported he exhibited short stature and severe generalized osteoporosis. Skeletal survey showed moderately shortened long bones, bowed radii, short femoral neck, brachydactyly of the hands and feet with more severe involvement of middle phalanges, distal phalanx of the thumbs, and metacarpals, moderately thickened calvarium, and rotoscoliosis. Compound heterozygous variants in TMEM67 were identified, one inherited from each of his parents.

PMID: 11391657 - Hedera and Gorski (2001) described 2 brothers, who had early onset retinitis pigmentosa, short stature with GH deficiency, mild facial asymmetry, and acromelic shortening of the distal extremities. They suggest this phenotype is consistent with RHYNS syndrome but no genome analysis was done.

Meckel syndrome 3 - 3 out of 22 cases show polydactyly:

PMID: 16415887 - Smith et al. 2006 - detected 5 different homozygous mutations in the TMEM67 in 5 consanguineous families with Meckel syndrome. The mutations were not found in over 120 ethnically matched normal control chromosomes. Polydactyly was observed in 2 out of the 5 families.

PMID: 17377820 - Consugar et al. 2007 - identified 7 novel pathogenic mutations in the TMEM67 gene in 5 of 17 families with a clinical diagnosis of Meckel syndrome. All cases were compound heterogygous. Polydactyly is reported in 1 family.; to: Associated with several phenotypes in OMIM but ?RHYNS syndrome (#609884) is the main disease phenotype that has a skeletal component. Polydactyly may also be seen in Meckel syndrome 3 (#607361).

RHYNS syndrome - 1 case:

PMID: 9375913 - Di Rocco et al. (1997) - 1 case. 17.5-year-old boy with short stature, severe bone-age retardation and exhibited mild signs of skeletal dysplasia, including generalized osteopenia, epiphyseal hypoplasia, hypoplastic iliac bones with irregular acetabular margins, and thin tubular bones. He later developed nephronophthisis. Brancati et al. (2018) (PMID: 29891882) re-assessed this patient at age 38 years and reported he exhibited short stature and severe generalized osteoporosis. Skeletal survey showed moderately shortened long bones, bowed radii, short femoral neck, brachydactyly of the hands and feet with more severe involvement of middle phalanges, distal phalanx of the thumbs, and metacarpals, moderately thickened calvarium, and rotoscoliosis. Compound heterozygous variants in TMEM67 were identified, one inherited from each of his parents.

PMID: 11391657 - Hedera and Gorski (2001) described 2 brothers, who had early onset retinitis pigmentosa, short stature with GH deficiency, mild facial asymmetry, and acromelic shortening of the distal extremities. They suggest this phenotype is consistent with RHYNS syndrome but no genome analysis was done.

Meckel syndrome 3 - 3 out of 22 cases show polydactyly:

PMID: 16415887 - Smith et al. 2006 - detected 5 different homozygous mutations in the TMEM67 in 5 consanguineous families with Meckel syndrome. The mutations were not found in over 120 ethnically matched normal control chromosomes. Polydactyly was observed in 2 out of the 5 families.

PMID: 17377820 - Consugar et al. 2007 - identified 7 novel pathogenic mutations in the TMEM67 gene in 5 of 17 families with a clinical diagnosis of Meckel syndrome. All cases were compound heterogygous. Polydactyly is reported in 1 family.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.192 IFT81 Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Associated with Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 19 with or without polydactyly (#617895) in OMIM

PMID: 27666822 - Duran et al 2016 - 2 cases. Family 1 - male infant (R98-443) with features consistent with Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD). The radiographic abnormalities included midface hypoplasia, dolichocephaly, a prominent occiput , short ribs, handlebar clavicles and short, curved appendicular bones, with the upper limbs particularly abnormally shaped. There was no polydactyly on either the hands or feet. They identified compound heterozygosity for two variants: p.Leu29Phe and p.Arg512*. Family 2 - fetus (R13-147A) suspected to have SRPS by prenatal ultrasonography. Postnatal radiographs showed dolichocephaly, a prominent occiput, midface hypoplasia, a very small thorax with shortened horizontal ribs, markedly short long bones with rounded metaphyses and marked hypoplasia of the radii, ulnae, tibiae and fibulae. Other radiographic features included small iliac bones and postaxial polydactyly of all extremities. They identified compound heterozygosity for variants in IFT81: p.Leu262 and p.Leu435del). Cultured chondrocytes from one patient showed decreased levels of transcript. Mutant cells produced elongated cilia, had altered hedgehog signaling, had increased post-translation modification of tubulin, and showed evidence of destabilization of additional anterograde transport complex components

PMID: 26275418 - Perrault et al 2015 - identified a homozygous mutation in IFT81 affecting an obligatory donor splice site in an individual with nephronophthisis and polydactyly (c.1188+1G-A). The variant has been classified as a VUS in OMIM as its contribution to nephronophthisis-related ciliopathy has not be confirmed. Only candidate gene sequencing of IFT-B complex proteins was found. A variant in IFT81 (c.2015_2019delACCGG) was also found in a second unrelated child with retinal dystrophy and intellectual disability (no skeletal phenotype) suggestive of a ciliopathy however 9 additional rare homozygous variants were found and so this variant has also been classified as a VUS in OMIM.

PMID: 28460050 - Dharmat et al 2017 - Compound heterozygous mutations in IFT81 were identified in a nonsyndromic Cone rod dystrophy proband.

PMID: 30080953 - Pettersson et al 2018 - a homozygous tandem duplication of exon 9 and 10 in IFT81 in a boy with Jeune syndrome, or short-rib thoracic dysplasia (SRTD). The duplication was predicted to disrupt the ORF and cause a truncation of the peptide sequence. He had narrow thorax, short arms, brachydactyly and short stature. Western blot analysis did not detect any wild-type IFT81 protein in fibroblasts from the patient with the IFT81 duplication, but only a shorter isoform of IFT81 that was also present in the normal control samples.

Summary - 2 cases with SNVs and strong skeletal phenotype, one with some functional data. 3rd case with polydactyly the only skeletal component of the phenotype. 4th case with tandem duplication of 2 exons. ; to: Associated with Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 19 with or without polydactyly (#617895) in OMIM

The p.N1709S is a novel variant that is not present in Single Nucleotide Polymorphism database, 1000 Genomes pilot data, or the NHLBI exome variant server. The p.Q1222R was present only in the 1000 Genomes pilot data with an overall minor allele frequency of 0.001 (0.005 in the Americas subcohort). In patient derived primary dermal fibroblasts, the compound heterozygous NIN defects did not disrupt Ninein expression or localization or obviously affect mitotic functions. But zebrafish nin morphilino knockdowns include phenotypes such as reduced growth and altered patterning of the skull, consistent with general phenotypic characteristics of MPD.

RHYNS syndrome - 1 case

PMID: 9375913 - Di Rocco et al. (1997) - 1 case. 17.5-year-old boy with short stature, severe bone-age retardation and exhibited mild signs of skeletal dysplasia, including generalized osteopenia, epiphyseal hypoplasia, hypoplastic iliac bones with irregular acetabular margins, and thin tubular bones. He later developed nephronophthisis. Brancati et al. (2018) (PMID: 29891882) re-assessed this patient at age 38 years and reported he exhibited short stature and severe generalized osteoporosis. Skeletal survey showed moderately shortened long bones, bowed radii, short femoral neck, brachydactyly of the hands and feet with more severe involvement of middle phalanges, distal phalanx of the thumbs, and metacarpals, moderately thickened calvarium, and rotoscoliosis.

PMID: 26880018 - Girisha et al. 2016 - 1 case. A child from a consanguineous family who had short stature, narrow thorax, short hands and feet, postaxial polydactyly of hands, pigmentary retinopathy, small teeth and skeletal dysplasia. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a homozygous nonsense variant p.R142* in IFT52. This variant was not found in homozygous state in the 1000Genome project, the Exome Variant Server, the Exome Aggregation Consortium database, CentoMD and exome database of a local NGS service provider. The parents are heterozygous carriers.

PMID: 27466190 - Zhang et al 2016 - 1 case. A non-consanguineous family with two fetuses affected by short-rib polydactyly syndrome (SRPS). Radiographic findings, taken at 20 and 23 weeks of gestation, respectively, were consistent between the two fetuses and showed undermineralized skulls, narrow thoraces with moderately shortened ribs and sharp angulations of some lower thoracic ribs, a flat appearance to the acetabular roofs, reverse campomelia of the humeri, mildly bent femurs, and no polydactyly. In one proband compound heterozygosity for two variants was found - a 1bp deletion leading to a frameshift and premature stop codon and a missense variant (c.878delT, pLeu293AlafsX21 and c.595G > A, p.Ala199Thr). One variant was inherited from each of the parents. The IFT52 mutant cells synthesized a significantly reduced amount of IFT52 protein, leading to reduced synthesis of IFT74, IFT81, IFT88 and ARL13B, other key anterograde complex members. Ciliogenesis was also disrupted in the mutant cells, with a 60% reduction in the presence of cilia on mutant cells and loss of cilia length regulation for the cells with cilia.

In one proband compound heterozygosity for two variants was found - a 1bp deletion leading to a frameshift and premature stop codon and a missense variant (c.878delT, pLeu293AlafsX21 and c.595G > A, p.Ala199Thr). One variant was inherited from each of the parents. The IFT52 mutant cells synthesized a significantly reduced amount of IFT52 protein, leading to reduced synthesis of IFT74, IFT81, IFT88 and ARL13B, other key anterograde complex members. Ciliogenesis was also disrupted in the mutant cells, with a 60% reduction in the presence of cilia on mutant cells and loss of cilia length regulation for the cells with cilia.

PMID: 30242358 - Chen et al. 2018 - 1 case. A child from a consangiuneous family of Hui ethnicity was referred to the clinic with nystagmus and severe visual impairment since infancy also presented with severe growth retardation and mild mental retardation. She had narrow chest with short ribs and micromelic limbs. sandal gap in her right foot and dental dysplasia was also noticed. She was found to have a homozygous variation, IFT52 c.556A>G (p.T186A). This was absent in the two unaffected siblings.

PMID: 31042281 - Dupont et al 2019 - report a family with compound heterogyzous variants (one missense, one causing an inframe mutation that results in less efficient splicing) in IFT52 in two foetuses in which a short rib polydactyly syndrome phenotype is described. One variant is inherited from each of the parents. One fetus also had Tortuous ureters and left pelviectasis. They also report another family in which a fetus with only a renal phenotype and a homozygous variant in IFT52 was identified.

Summary - 3 cases plus a 4th with a milder skeletal phenotype.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.166 IFT52 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: IFT52: Associated with Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 16 with or without polydactyly (#617102) in OMIM.

PMID: 26880018 - Girisha et al. 2016 - 1 case. A child from a consanguineous family who had short stature, narrow thorax, short hands and feet, postaxial polydactyly of hands, pigmentary retinopathy, small teeth and skeletal dysplasia. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a homozygous nonsense variant p.R142* in IFT52. This variant was not found in homozygous state in the 1000Genome project, the Exome Variant Server, the Exome Aggregation Consortium database, CentoMD and exome database of a local NGS service provider. The parents are heterozygous carriers.

Skeletal dysplasia v1.166 IFT43 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: IFT43: Associated with ?Cranioectodermal dysplasia 3 (#614099) and Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 18 with polydactyly (#617866) in OMIM and with CRANIOECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA TYPE 3 (confirmed) in Gene2Phenotype.

PMID: 21378380- Arts et al. 2011 - 1 case . 2 siblings from a consanguineous family of Moroccan descent with cranioectodermal dysplasia (Sensenbrenner syndrome). The reported phenotype includes Rhizomelic shortening of limbs, narrow thorax, toe syndactyly, brachydactyly, and polydactyly (one sibling). Following genome-wide homozygosity mapping two candidate genes were analyzed and a homozygous missense mutation in the translation initiation codon of the IFT43 gene was identified. Fibroblasts from one of the affected siblings (II:2) show a typical IFT-A defect (ie, accumulation of IFT-B complex proteins in the ciliary tip.

PMID: 28400947 - Duran et al. 2017- 2 cases - in 3 affected individuals from 2 unrelated families with short-rib thoracic dysplasia with polydactyly thye identified homozygosity for missense mutations in the IFT143 gene, M1K and W179R.

PMID: 26892345 - Stokman et al 2016 - 11-year-old girl with mild intellectual disability, skeletal anomalies, congenital heart defect, myopia, and facial dysmorphisms including an extra incisor, cup-shaped ears, and a preauricular skin tag. They de novo 4.5-Mb microdeletion which contains 65 protein-coding genes, including the ciliary gene IFT43. Immunocytochemistry showed increased accumulation of IFT-B proteins at the ciliary tip in patient-derived fibroblasts compared to control cells, demonstrating defective retrograde ciliary transport.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.166 B9D1 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: B9D1: Associated with ?Meckel syndrome 9 (#614209) and Joubert syndrome 27 (#617120) in OMIM.
Gene2Phenotype reports a probable association with MECKEL SYNDROME 9.

PMID: 24886560 - Romani et al 2014 - report mutations in B9D1 in two patients, a 9-year-old boy (COR363) and a 7-year-old girl (COR346), both presenting with pure JS. The mutations (cG467A; p.R156Q homo, and cA95G; p.Y32C, c.520-522delGTG; p.V175del) were inherited from heterozygous healthy parents, were not reported in public databases, and affected highly conserved residues. Missense mutations were predicted as pathogenic by prediction web tools. Neither patient showed polydactyly or orofacial features although patient COR363's facial dysmorphisms included a triangular face, retrognatism, accentuated philtrum and big ears, and patient COR346's dysmorphic facial features included frontal bossing, macrostomia, thick lips and low-set ears.

PMID: 21493627 - Hopp et al 2011 - In family M456 with Meckel syndrome (MKS), a splice-donor site change in B9D1 was detected in a fetus (c.505+2T>C). Sanger sequencing revealed likely hemizygosity of this variant, with a de novo deletion of the B9D1 locus in the fetus. The deletion spans 1.713 Mb at chromosome 17p11.2, including the complete B9D1 locus. Additionally, 18 other genes were deleted. The authors also identified a novel change in a second MKS gene, CEP290. Sanger sequencing showed that the heterozygous variant, p.R2210C, was inherited from the mother.
Polydactyly, that is typical in MKS, was not noted but the fetus had bilateral club feet and shortened limbs.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.159 RAB33B Eleanor Williams commented on gene: RAB33B: Associated with Smith-McCort dysplasia 2 (615222) in OMIM.

PMID: 22652534 - Alshammari et al. (2012) - 1 family - a consanguineous Saudi family segregating Smith-McCort syndrome. Identified a homozygous missense mutation in the RAB33B gene (K46Q). Immunoblot analysis showed severe deficiency of RAB33B in patient cells compared with control cells, and patient fibroblasts also displayed a marked reduction in the immunofluorescence signal corresponding to RAB33B but comparable signal intensity to the Golgi marker giantin.

PMID: 16470731/23042644 - Neumann et al. (2006)/Dupuis et al. (2013) - 1 case. 22-year-old Turkish man with Smith-McCort syndrome-2. Identified a homozygous missense mutation in the RAB33B gene (N148K;). By Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence studies, Dupuis et al. (2013) found marked reduction of the RAB33B protein.

PMID: 28127940 - Salian et al. (2017) - 3 families. 3 SMC patients with four novel pathogenic variants in RAB33B, including homozygosity for c.211C>T (p.R71*), homozygosity for c.365T>C (p.F122S), and compound heterozygosity for c.48delCGGGGCAG (p.G17Vfs*58) and c.490C>T (p.Q164*). The mutations segregated with the disorder in each family.

5 cases in total.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.155 WDR19 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: WDR19: PMID: 22019273 - Bredrup et al. (2011) - sister and brother with cranioectodermal dysplasia (Sensenbrenner syndrome) identified compound heterozygosity for variants in the WDR19 gene that cosegregated with disease (L710S, and R1103X, 608151.0002). Also found a a Dutch patient with Jeune syndrome and homozygosity for a missense mutation in WDR19 (L7P).

PMID: 24504730 - Fehrenbach et al 2014 - 8 year old girl with hypotonia, facial dysmorphism and retardation which were noted shortly after birth. Other features included short stature, mild skeletal anomalies, strabism, deafness, subdural hygroma, hepatosplenomegaly and end-stage renal failure. Identified novel homozygous WDR19 mutation c.1483G > C (p.Gly495Arg) .
Skeletal dysplasia v1.155 NIN Eleanor Williams commented on gene: NIN: PMID: 22933543 - Dauber et al. (2012) -2 sisters with severe short stature, microcephaly, and developmental delay (Seckel syndrome-7) were identified to have compound heterozygosity for missense mutations in the NIN gene (Q1222R; N1709S)

PMID: 23665482 -Grosch et al (2013) - in a consanguineous family with a phenotype resembling Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity-leptodactylic type (SEMDJL2) they identified homozygous missense mutations in the two nearby genes NIN and POLE2 which segregate with the disease in the family and were not present in 500 healthy control individuals and in the 1094 control individuals contained within the 1000-genomes database. They present evidence that mutant Ninein is most likely causative for the SEMDJL2-like phenotype.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.153 RAD21 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: RAD21: OMIM: - 2 cases reported in OMIM (PMID: 22633399, Deardorff et al 2012) plus 3 patients with overlapping deletions covering RAD21 (aswell as other genes).
