Comment on list classification: Gene status was changed from to Green due to a expert review by Konstantinos Varvagiannis. Associated with phenotype in OMIM and not in Gen2Phen. ID and DD identified in sufficient unrelated cases for PUS7 to be rated green on the ID panel.

PMID: 30778726 (2019 - Shaheen et al.) reports 3 additional individuals from 2 consanguineous families. ID was a feature in all three. Variants reported: NM_019042.3 c.1507G>T or p.(Asp503Tyr) and c.329_332delCTGA or p.(Thr110Argfs*4), each found in homozygous state in affected individuals. As a result, PUS7 can be considered for inclusion in the ID panel as green. (The PMID for the article by de Brouwer et al. was added).

de Brouwer et al. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2018.10.026) report on 6 individuals from 3 unrelated families homozygous for truncating variants in PUS7.

The common phenotype consisted of ID with speech delay, microcephaly, short stature as well as aggressive behavior.

One frameshift, one nonsense and one intragenic deletion affecting the penultimate exon of PUS7 were private respectively to each family. qPCR demonstrated reduction of mRNA levels for the two first variants, with absence of the normally sized protein upon Western blot for the first one.

The deletion, not identified due to its small size by aCGH, was found in the exome analysis and confirmed by MAQ. RT-PCR demonstrated the absence of the respective exon in mRNA. The deletion resulted in introduction of a stop codon in the last exon and mRNA expression levels were shown to be normal. Western blot demonstrated absence of a normally sized protein.

Functional studies demonstrated defective tRNA and mRNA pseudouridylation. Drosophila knockouts recapitulated the behavioral phenotype.

Biallelic mutations in PUS1 and PUS3 have been reported in individuals with intellectual disability (as well as some other features noted in PUS7-related disorder).

PUS7 is included in the gene panel for ID offered by Radboud UMC (among the principal authors of the study).

Therefore this gene can be considered for inclusion in this panel as green (rather than amber).
