I don't know

Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark. At least 4 unrelated individuals with heterozygous variants in this gene - however, only 1 presented moderate ID (2 had ASD rather than ID, while the phenotype is unclear for the fourth individual). HIRA is a good candidate for neurodevelopmental impairment, supported by an animal model, but additional cases are required to ascertain the relevance of ID.

Therefore, at present there is only enough evidence to rate Amber awaiting further cases/clinical evidence (added 'watchlist' tag)

Currently this gene is not associated with any phenotype in OMIM, but has a 'possible' disease confidence for 'HIRA-related neurodevelopmental disorder' in Gene2Phenotype.

Jeanne et al. 2021 (PMID: 33417013) report on 2 unrelated individuals with de novo heterozygous truncating variants in the HIRA gene. Both presented a neurodevelopmental disorder which was characterised by hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, moderate ID, mild microcephaly, motor stereotypies, and white matter atrophy in one patient; while the other individual presented only behavioural problems mainly confined to symptoms of ASD.

Authors also identified two additional independently reported cases with different de novo heterozygous HIRA variants (PMIDs: 28135719 and 25363760). Clinical details were not provided in either case; however, one was recruited as part of the DDD study, while the other was investigated as part of a large autism spectrum disorder cohort.

Heterozygous Hira knock-out in mice resulted in mild neuroanatomical defects and impaired neurogenesis in primary neurons.

Green List (high evidence)

Two unrelated patients with different de novo loss of function variants identified in PMID 33417013:

Individual 1: intragenic deletion, phenotype included psychomotor retardation, ID, growth retardation, microcephaly, and facial features reminiscent of 22q deletion syndrome.
Individual 2: canonical splice variant, phenotype mostly confined to ASD

Another two de novo variants were identified in the literature by the authors of that paper, one stop-gain (DDD study, PMID 28135719) and one missense (large autism cohort, PMID 25363760).

PMID 33417013 also showed that HIRA knockdown in mice results in neurodevelopmental abnormalities.

Rated Green due to 4 unrelated individuals (albeit 2 in large cohort studies) and a mouse model. NB: HIRA is within the common 22q deletion region.
