Rahimi et al (2022 - PMID: 35358416) describe 12 unrelated individuals with monoallelic ATP2B1 variants.
Phenotype consisted of DD (12/12), ID [9/12 - mild or less commonly moderate, with 3 additional subjects "unclassified" likely due to their age (#6: 3y nonverbal/nonambulatory, could sit and roll / #8: 3y, sitting at 1y, 1st words:26m / #12: at 5y nonambulatory/nonverbal)]. Behavioral issues were observed in 8/11 (ASD in 5/11). Seizures were reported in 5/12 (one further had abnormal EEG). Minor features - albeit not consistent/without recognizable gestalt - were reported in 6. Anomalies of digits and marfanoid habitus were reported in 4 and 2.
All subjects were investigated by singleton/trio exome sequencing.
Previous investigations incl. karyotype, CMA, analysis of individual genes (e.g. FMR1, ZEB2) or metabolic workup were normal for several individuals with one having a concurrent diagnosis of mosaic (20%) XXY and another harboring an additional hmz variant for a liver disorder.
9 different missense and 3 nonsense ATP2B1 variants were identified, shown to have occurred de novo in all cases where parental samples were available (9/12).
ATPase plasma membrane Ca+2 transporting 1, the protein encoded by ATP2B1, is an ATP-driven calmodulin-dependent Ca+2 pump which removes intracellular calcium from the cytosol. As the authors comment calcium pumps are thought to have a crucial role on neuronal function.
All variants identified were absent from gnomAD with the exception of c.2365C>T / p.Arg789Cys (de novo) which is present once in the database. ATP2B1 has a pLI of 1 and a missense Z-score of 5.29.
The variants affected several ATP2B1 isoforms. Variants were reported using NM_001001323.2, corresponding to ATP2B1a isoform which is mainly detected in brain (as also in GTEx).
In silico predictions were in favor of a deleterious effect and structural modeling supported the role of the affected residues.
The nonsense variants occurred in positions predicted to lead to NMD (not studied).
Transfection of an ATP2B1-yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) expression plasmid for wt or variants in HEK293 cells, revealed membranous fluorescence for wt, significantly altered localization for 3 variants (Asp239Gly, Thr264Ile, Arg991Gln), shift to cytoplasmic localization for 4 others (Thr425Lys, Arg763Pro, Glu824Lys, Gln857Arg) with statistically non-significant effect for 2 others (His459Arg and Arg789Cys).
Fluorometric [Ca+2]i analysis in HEK293 cells expressing wt or variant ATP2B1 revealed that all missense variants affected Ca+2 transport. This was not the case for wt ATP2B1 or for another missense variant used as control (drawn from gnomAD).
Of note, a further (13th) affected individual with another missense variant (c.1793T>C / p.Ile598Thr) was excluded from the phenotypic analysis. The membrane localization and Ca+2 transport did not appear to be affected by this variant which was classified as VUS although it a different impact from those studied.
Overall loss-of-function is thought to be the underlying mechanism based on the above (and supported by few reported cases with gross deletions spanning also ATP2B1). A dominant negative effect for missense variants (affecting heteromeric complex formation with neuroplastin or basigin) could not be completely excluded, but not supported either by the localization of the identified variants.
In the supplement the authors include 3 DDD study participants previously reported to harbor de novo pLoF/missense variants though with few available clinical information (PMID: 33057194 - DDD13k.05076 : c.2883del / DDD13k.04028 : c2512A>C - p.Ile838Val / DDD13k.08944 : c.2129A>C - p.Asp710Ala).
The authors discuss on the role of ATP2B1 on Ca+2 homeostasis in the CNS and neurodevelopment overall (also based on isoform expression in rat brain).

If promoting or demoting a gene, please provide comments to justify a decision to move it.
Genes included in a Genomics England gene panel for a rare disease category (green list) should fit the criteria A-E outlined below.
These guidelines were developed as a combination of the ClinGen DEFINITIVE evidence for a causal role of the gene in the disease(a), and the Developmental Disorder Genotype-Phenotype (DDG2P) CONFIRMED DD Gene evidence level(b) (please see the original references provided below for full details). These help provide a guideline for expert reviewers when assessing whether a gene should be on the green or the red list of a panel.
A. There are plausible disease-causing mutations(i) within, affecting or encompassing an interpretable functional region(ii) of this gene identified in multiple (>3) unrelated cases/families with the phenotype(iii).
OR
B. There are plausible disease-causing mutations(i) within, affecting or encompassing cis-regulatory elements convincingly affecting the expression of a single gene identified in multiple (>3) unrelated cases/families with the phenotype(iii).
OR
C. As definitions A or B but in 2 or 3 unrelated cases/families with the phenotype, with the addition of convincing bioinformatic or functional evidence of causation e.g. known inborn error of metabolism with mutation in orthologous gene which is known to have the relevant deficient enzymatic activity in other species; existence of an animal model which recapitulates the human phenotype.
AND
D. Evidence indicates that disease-causing mutations follow a Mendelian pattern of causation appropriate for reporting in a diagnostic setting(iv).
AND
E. No convincing evidence exists or has emerged that contradicts the role of the gene in the specified phenotype.
(i)Plausible disease-causing mutations: Recurrent de novo mutations convincingly affecting gene function. Rare, fully-penetrant mutations - relevant genotype never, or very rarely, seen in controls. (ii) Interpretable functional region: ORF in protein coding genes miRNA stem or loop. (iii) Phenotype: the rare disease category, as described in the eligibility statement. (iv) Intermediate penetrance genes should not be included.
It’s assumed that loss-of-function variants in this gene can cause the disease/phenotype unless an exception to this rule is known. We would like to collect information regarding exceptions. An example exception is the PCSK9 gene, where loss-of-function variants are not relevant for a hypercholesterolemia phenotype as they are associated with increased LDL-cholesterol uptake via LDLR (PMID: 25911073).
If a curated set of known-pathogenic variants is available for this gene-phenotype, please contact us at [email protected]
We classify loss-of-function variants as those with the following Sequence Ontology (SO) terms:

Standardised terms were used to represent the gene-disease mode of inheritance, and were mapped to commonly used terms from the different sources. Below each of the terms is described, along with the equivalent commonly-used terms.
A variant on one allele of this gene can cause the disease, and imprinting has not been implicated.
A variant on the paternally-inherited allele of this gene can cause the disease, if the alternate allele is imprinted (function muted).
A variant on the maternally-inherited allele of this gene can cause the disease, if the alternate allele is imprinted (function muted).
A variant on one allele of this gene can cause the disease. This is the default used for autosomal dominant mode of inheritance where no knowledge of the imprinting status of the gene required to cause the disease is known. Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: autosomal dominant, dominant, AD, DOMINANT.
A variant on both alleles of this gene is required to cause the disease. Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: autosomal recessive, recessive, AR, RECESSIVE.
The disease can be caused by a variant on one or both alleles of this gene. Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant, recessive or dominant, AR/AD, AD/AR, DOMINANT/RECESSIVE, RECESSIVE/DOMINANT.
A variant on one allele of this gene can cause the disease, however a variant on both alleles of this gene can result in a more severe form of the disease/phenotype.
A variant in this gene can cause the disease in males as they have one X-chromosome allele, whereas a variant on both X-chromosome alleles is required to cause the disease in females. Mapped to the following commonly used term from different sources: X-linked recessive.
A variant in this gene can cause the disease in males as they have one X-chromosome allele. A variant on one allele of this gene may also cause the disease in females, though the disease/phenotype may be less severe and may have a later-onset than is seen in males. X-linked inactivation and mosaicism in different tissues complicate whether a female presents with the disease, and can change over their lifetime. This term is the default setting used for X-linked genes, where it is not known definitately whether females require a variant on each allele of this gene in order to be affected. Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: X-linked dominant, x-linked, X-LINKED, X-linked.
The gene is in the mitochondrial genome and variants within this can cause this disease, maternally inherited. Mapped to the following commonly used term from different sources: Mitochondrial.
Mapped to the following commonly used terms from different sources: Unknown, NA, information not provided.
