Comment on list classification: New gene added by Rhiannon Mellis (GOSH). Multiple unrelated individuals (>20) described with a complex developmental disorder and de novo truncating MN1 variants. This gene will be flagged for review to determine whether the phenotype is fetally-relevant and there is enough evidence to include as Green.

Plausible that some features of the disorder, such as craniofacial abnormalities and structural brain anomalies may be detected prenatally. However based on published clinical descriptions, antenatal history was uneventful in most cases - but reports did include fetal brain anomalies (1), NICU admission (1) and IUGR (2). Similarly, neonatal problems were only reported in a few patients but included respiratory issues (3), abnormal ABR (1), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (1), perinatal hypoxia (1), congenital hypothyroidism (1), hearing impairment (1) and SCBU admission (1) (see Supplementary material in PMID: 31834374)

Rhiannon Mellis (Great Ormond Street Hospital)

Green List (high evidence)

This gene and phenotype were reviewed during a meeting on 21st October 2021 between representatives of the North Thames and Central & South R21 testing GLHs.

Clinical review and curation was performed by Lyn Chitty, Alison Male, Rowenna Roberts, Rhiannon Mellis (North Thames GLH) and Stephanie Allen, Denise Williams and Esther Kinning (Central & South GLH).

Outcome of review: Agreed that the phenotype is fetally relevant (structural brain abnormalities e.g. polymicrogyria, cerebellar hypoplasia, craniofacial features etc.) support adding to the Fetal anomalies panel as a Green gene.

Copied from MN1 review on Cortical malformations panel:

Associated with phenotype in OMIM, and a probable gene for MN1 C-terminal truncation syndrome in G2P.

Over 20 unrelated probands reported with heterozygous MN1 truncating variants, associated with a distinct phenotype which includes DD, craniofacial abnormalities, hearing loss, and structural abnormalities in the brain (e.g. polymicrogyria, dysmorphic corpus callosum and anomalies of the cerebellum - rhombencephalosynapsis).

Most variants cluster in the C-terminal, and all were predicted to escape NMD. Authors postulated that the resulting truncated protein may have a dominant-negative or gain-of-function effect. Also phenotypically supportive knockout mouse model.
