Associated with Nivelon-Nivelon-Mabille syndrome #600092 (AR) in OMIM.
PMID:24784881 - Callier et al 2014 - report a family with 2 siblings with Disorder of Sex Development (DSD) and chondrodysplasia (Nivelon-Nivelon-Mabille syndrome). The first sibling (46,XY karyotype) displayed severe dwarfism with generalized chondrodysplasia, a narrow, bell-shaped thorax, micromelia, brachydactyly, severe microcephaly (-7.5 SD at age 16 (PMID:15578577) with cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, facial anomalies, hypoplastic irides, and coloboma of both optic discs. Complete gonadal dysgenesis ( including normal external female genitalia, lack of pubertal development, primary amenorrhea, and hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism) and intellectual disability is also noted. The second sibling (46,XX karyotype) had histologically normal ovaries and similar phenotypic abnormalities including severe dwarfism and generalized chondrodysplasia. Using WES a homozygous missense variant was found NM_001122834:c.860G>T:p.(Gly287Val) in HHAT in the first sibling which is in the conserved MBOAT domain. The parents were heterozygous. They also found that mice lacking functional Hhat show a similar phenotype as the syndromic 46,XY DSD patient including testicular dysgenesis and skeletal defects.
PMID:30912300 - Abdel-Salam et al 2019 - report two siblings with progressive microcephaly (-6 SD at age 6 and age 3 for the 2 siblings respectively), early infantile onset seizures, and cerebellar vermis hypoplasia but notably without dwarfism and gonadal dysgenesis. Skeletal x-rays of both siblings showed enlarged epiphyses and metaphyses, thinning of the lateral 1/3 of clavicles and trapezoidal vertebral bodies. Both sisters had a normal female karyotype (46, XX). WES found a homozygous missense (c.770T>C, p.[Leu257Pro]) HHAT which is in the conserved MBOAT domain. Both parents were heterozygous for the variant.
PMID: 33749989 - Pande et al 2021 - report multiple malformations in three pregnancies with a novel biallelic in-frame deletion, c.365_367del; (p.Thr122del), in exon 5 of HHAT in the living proband. She shows severe microphthalmia, microcephaly (−8 SD head circumference at age 7), skeletal dysplasia (narrow bell-shaped tho-rax, short and angel-shaped epiphyses of hands and feet) and midfac eretrusion, short columella with a groove at the base, prominent ears, long philtrum, depressed nasal bridge, everted lower lip, and a singlec entral incisor. She also has complete sex reversal (karyotype of 46, XY, normal internal organs including uterus and ovaries.)Created: 17 Dec 2021, 6:46 p.m. | Last Modified: 17 Dec 2021, 7:11 p.m.
