Early onset or syndromic epilepsy

Gene: DENND5B

DENND5B variants have not previously been associated with a phenotype in OMIM, Gen2Phen or MONDO. PMID: 38387458 reports five de novo missense variants in five unrelated cases. The carriers of these DENND5B variants have a neurodevelopmental disorder, which is characterized by psychomotor delay (5/5 cases), intellectual disability, ranging from severe to mild (3/5 cases, although one of the negative cases was a 2 year old child, who was considered to be too young to make the assessment, although the DD/intellectual disability phenotype was considered to be moderate in this case), epilepsy (2/5 cases) and hypotonia (4/5 cases). The authors of PMID: 38387458 also report the functional effects of the DENND5B variants, which revealed defective intracellular vesicle trafficking, with significant impairment of lipid uptake and distribution. They conclude that this effect is likely to be caused by the predicted disruption of protein folding in the variant DENND5B peptide.
