Eleanor Williams (Genomics England Curator)

Comment on mode of inheritance: Leaving the mode of inheritance as XL hemizigous in males, biallelic in females for now, but there are several (10+) female cases reported now with de novo variants in MED12 and an intellectual disability phenotype so consideration should be given to changing the mode of inheritance to monoallelic in females.

PMID: 33244165 - Polla et al 2021 - report on assembled clinical and genetic data of 18 females with de novo variants in MED12. 7 individuals with truncating variants had a syndromic presentation with variable ID, short stature, facial dysmorphism, feeding difficulties and skeletal abnormalities. 11 individuals with missense variants are reported to have a phenotype of severe ID, autistic features and limited speech, and variable dysmorphic features. 11/18 have severe intellectual disability.

Analysis of X-inactivation status showed extreme skewing (>95%) in 10 indivduals, skewing (85%) in 1 individual and it was random XCI in 6 (3 with protein truncating variants, 3 with missense). The androgen receptor alleles were non-informative for 1 person.

PMID: 34079076 - Riccardi et al 2021 - report an additional 4 female patients that carry de novo missense variants in MED12. All four patients had an intellectual disability, though it was severe only in one case.

Note: Li et al 2021 (PMID: 33244166) report 7 females with Hardikar syndrome each of whom have had a nonsense or frameshift MED12 variant identified by exome sequencing but intellectual disability is not a feature of this syndrome.
