Skeletal dysplasia
Gene: COPB2
Loss-of-function variants in COPB2, a component of the COPI coatomer complex, reported in six individuals from five unrelated families. 4 are heterozygous (three demonstrated de novo) and one family with two sibs with homozygous variant, previously reported but reassessed for bone phenotype. All presenting with a clinical spectrum of osteoporosis or osteopaenia, many with recurrent fractures, and developmental delay of variable severity. Functional data.

Comment on list classification: Gene copied from the Osteogenesis imperfecta panel. Leaving as amber for now, but there are 2 cases with fractures and 4 with osteopaenia, plus a mouse model with low bone mass, so sufficient to rate green after then next GMS review.Created: 24 Sep 2021, 3:32 p.m. | Last Modified: 24 Sep 2021, 3:32 p.m.

As Zornitza Stark reports, PMID: 34450031 - Marom et al 2021 describes 6 individuals from 5 families. In 4 families loss of function heterozygous variants in COPB2 were found. In the 5th family, two affected siblings were found to have a homozygous variant in COPB2. Osteopenia was noted in 4/5 families (5th unknown) and fractures in 2/5. Developmental delay was observed in all 6 individuals. Severe intellectual disability, seizures and microcephaly was noted in the siblings with the homozygous variants. Copb2 +/-mice exhibit low bone mass.

Following discussion in the GMS musculoskeletal specialist test group Webex on 2019-06-04 it was decided to rate this gene amber until there is more evidence for an association.Created: 11 Jun 2019, 2:59 p.m.
This gene was part of an initial gene list collated by Duncan Baker, Sheffield Diagnostic Genetics Service, January 2019 on behalf of the GMS Musculoskeletal Specialist Group; Gene symbol submitted: COPB2; Suggested initial gene rating: amberCreated: 3 Apr 2019, 4:08 p.m.
In OMIM this gene is only provisionally associated with ?Microcephaly 19, primary, autosomal recessive.
The Marom et al 2018 ASBMR (American Society for Bone and Mineral Research) abstract is only accessible to society members, so no information available about how many cases reported or by what means the variants were discovered. http://www.asbmr.org/education/2018-abstracts
