Green List (high evidence)

PMID 27751653: describe two isolated probands presenting in utero with features associated with reduced fetal movements. Both cases diagnosed at birth with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) and hypotonia. A recurrent de novo missense mutation was identified in both cases.

PMID 29274205 describe a fetal case in which phenotype included legs fixed in extended position, arms fixed flexed over the face, and absent fetal movements and hydrops fetalis. A de novo missense variant in BICD2 was identified.

PMID 28635954 describes a spectrum of BICD2-opathies, including individuals with reduced fetal movement.

P2-62 (abstract) ISPD 2018 identified a VUS in BICD2 in a fetus with severe arthrogryposis.

P2–137-LB (abstract) ISPD 2018 identified de novo BICD2 mutation in fetus with fetal hydrops, multiple contractures and pterygium.

Red List (low evidence)

Comment on list classification: Updated rating from Red to Green based on external review highlighting literature evidence of fetal phenotypes, and agreement from Lyn Chitty and Rhiannon Mellis (Great Ormond Street Hospital).

PMID:28635954 (Storbeck et al., 2017) describe 3 individuals of independent families with severe severe arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), respiratory insufficiency, and early lethality caused by three BICD2 variants (p.Arg694Cys, p.Gln194Arg and p.Cys542Trp, 2 of which are proven to be de novo). They also describe an asymptomatic women with subclinical findings with the previously described p.(Thr703Met) variant.

PMID:29274205 (Ahmed et al., 2018) report a stillborn female fetus (case 4) with pterygia and arthrogryposis with a heterozygous likely-pathogenic variant in BICD2. Phenotypes included an abnormal fetal position with fixed limbs, hydrops fetalis and polyhydramnios. A heterozygous p.Asn700Lys variant in BICD2 was revealed. However, compound het variants of unknown significance in AGRN were also identified, so the authors can not be certain that BICD2 is the causative variant.

PMID:27751653 (Ravenscroft et al., 2016) report two unrelated probands (a German male and a boy from a Welsh mother and NZ/European father) that presented in utero with reduced fetal movement. Both cases had arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) and hypotonia diagnosed at birth. The same missense de novo variant in BICD2 (p.Arg694Cys) was present in both probands.

This gene and phenotype were reviewed during meetings at Great Ormond Street hospital in March 2019. Clinical review and curation was performed by Lyn Chitty, Anna de Burca, Rhiannon Mellis, Richard Scott, Ellen McDonagh and Rebecca Foulger. Outcome of review: Phenotype is not fetally-relevant. Action taken: Demoted BICD2 gene rating from Green to Red.
