PMID: 40424589 Renes et al., 2025
Report of 18 different NPR2 variants in 27 Dutch children with short stature (all heterozygous). Truncating variants (5/18) had a more severe effect than non-truncating variants (-3.3 vs -2.5 SDS respectively). Also, variants in the kinase homology domain (6/18 variants) were more severe than variants in other domains (-3.2 SDS vs -2.5 SDS). Majority of patients had mild features suggestive of skeletal dysplasia: mild dysproportion, cone-shaped epiphysis, and shortened metacarpals. 21/27 individuals had dysmorphic features of the hands, 13/27 with brachydactyly, clinodactyly and syndactyly also reported. All the children were 4-18 years old at the start of GH treatment (and height measurement) so the TD criteria are fulfilled for at least 5 individuals (> 2 years old and height <-3SD).

Consider MOI change to BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, as heterozygous individuals also present with skeletal features, limb disorders.

Green List (high evidence)

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: Confirmed that phenotype is fetally-relevant: keep on the Fetal anomalies panel as a Green gene.
