In PMID: 33459760 Deschauer et al 2021 report 15 affected individuals from six families of German, Arabic, and Roma descent with biallelic loss of function variants in VWA1 and a neuromuscular phenotype. In 3 of the families the onset of symptoms was in childhood (ages 2-18yr in F3, ages 2-3yr in F4, and at school age in F5). Muscle biopsies of 3 individuals (F1-II.2, F2-II.1, and F5-II.1) revealed myopathic changes. A 10-bp tandem repeat is duplicated in one variant (p.Gly25Argfs*74]) and deleted in another variant (p.Gly21Alafs*12]). The duplication was found in 3 German families, homozygous in one and compound heterozygous in the other two.
PMID: 33559681 Pagnamenta et al 2021 report 17 individuals from 15 families with an autosomal-recessive, hereditary motor neuropathy and rare biallelic variants in VWA1. The p.(G25Rfs*74) 10-bp repeat expansion was observed in 14/15 families and was homozygous in 10/15. The authors state that the mean age of symptom recognition was 2.0 ± 1.4 years with tip-toe walking, foot deformities, Achilles tendon contractures, and recurrent hip and patellar dislocations.
Given the young age of onset in some patients and myopathy seen in biopsys this gene may be a candidate for green rating on this panel, subject to expert review.
