Retinal disorders v8.82 PAK2 Arina Puzriakova changed review comment from: Schnur et al. 2024 (PMID: 38894571) report a de novo heterozygous PAK2 variant c.1217C>T, p.(Thr406Met) in a newborn with clinical manifestations of Knobloch syndrome including congenital heart defects, atretic parietal meningocele, and rapidly progressive retinopathy. In vitro experiments indicated that this and another reported variant, p.(Asp425Asn), result in substantially impaired protein kinase activity.

Werren et al. 2025 (PMID: 39876536) report a male infant with a de novo heterozygous PAK2 variant c.1273G>A, p.(Asp425Asn) identified by WGS. Clinical features include GDD, congenital retinal detachment, mild cerebral ventriculomegaly, hypotonia, failure to thrive, pyloric stenosis, feeding intolerance, patent ductus arteriosus, and mild facial dysmorphism. The p.(Asp425Asn) variant resides within the protein kinase domain and was predicted functionally damaging by in silico tools. Further functional studies were not performed.

Domenach et al. 2025 (PMID: 39994693) identified a novel de novo PAK2 missense variant in the kinase domain, c.836A>C, p.(Gln279Pro), by prenatal trio exome sequencing in a 24 weeks of gestation fetus whose only identifiable sign was severe bilateral pleural effusion.

Lodha et al. 2025 (PMID: 40262506) revealed a PAK2 c.1115A>T, p.(Asp372Val) variant in a neonate with bilateral pleural effusion, suggestive of chylothorax on prenatal imaging, and respiratory distress, purpura fulminans and retinal detachment after birth.

Shen et al. 2025 (PMID: 40247748) reported a Chinese family with a proband who primarily presented with epilepsy and developmental delay without the characteristic ocular and structural malformations that define Knobloch syndrome. WES and Sanger validation identified a de novo heterozygous PAK2 variant c.1049G>A, p.(Arg350Lys) located in the kinase domain.

Retinal disorders v6.12 MAN2B1 Sarah Leigh commented on gene: MAN2B1: MAN2B1 variants have been associated with Mannosidosis, alpha-, types I and II, (OMIM:248500).
Matlach et al (PMID: 29859105) present a detailed study of the ocular manifestations in OMIM:248500. Using posterior segment examination, fundus photography, and Spectral-Domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging, in a cohort of 32 patients, the authors were able to show the following: Tapeto-retinal degeneration with bone spicule formations in the peripheral retina or macular changes in three patients (9.4%) on funduscopy (two had optic nerve atrophy). Thinning of the outer retinal layer was seen in six patients (18.8%) using OCT. Optic nerve atrophy was seen in six patients (18.8%)(four with partial atrophy). A further two patients (6.3%) had partial optic nerve atrophy with no retinal abnormalities on funduscopy. Cataract was seen in two patients (6.3%), corneal haze was seen in two patients (6.3%). Six patients (18.8%) had manifest strabismus, four (12.5%) nystagmus, and in five patients (15.6%) impaired smooth pursuit eye movements were seen. This study emphasized the importance of detailed examinations, to be able to diagnose early signs of disease.

Mode of inheritance for gene: CLEC3B was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: CLEC3B were set to PMID: 35331648
Phenotypes for gene: CLEC3B were set to Macular dystrophy, retinal, 4
Review for gene: CLEC3B was set to GREEN
Added comment: The study described: "5 multigenerational families diagnosed with autosomal dominant maculoretinopathy were found to carry a pathogenic variant in a new gene, CLEC3B, which encodes tetranectin, a plasminogen kringle-4 binding protein. Consistent with the disease phenotypes of patients, mice that received subretinal injections with the CLEC3B variant displayed multiple subretinal hyperreflective deposits, reduced retinal thickness, and decreased electroretinographic responses. Moreover, the optokinetic tracking response indicated that spatial frequency was significantly lower (P < .05), implying impaired visual function in these mice."

Retinal disorders v4.17 MCOLN1 Achchuthan Shanmugasundram changed review comment from: Mucolipidosis type IV caused by biallelic variants in MCOLN1 gene ism a lysosomal disease that primarily affects the central nervous system. It manifests with severely impaired psychomotor development, and later onset, gradual neurological decline paralleled by cerebellar degeneration and neuroaxonal injury. In addition, they also manifest tetinal dystrophy, which develops in the first years of life and rapidly progresses in adolescence, leaving patients legally blind by the second decade (PMID:33965501).

The following are some of the reported cases:
PMID:17239335 - Compound heterozygous variants in MCOLN1 were identified in a patient with mucolipidosis type IV (ML IV), who had low visual acuity and cloudy corneas since 2 years of age, progressive decrease in visual acuity since the age of 9 years.
PMID:25156245 - An Italian child with ML IV was identified with homozygous MCOLN1 variants (c.395_397delCTG & c.468_474dupTTGGACC), while his parents were heterozygous for the same variants. Ophthalmological manifestations included esotropia, bilateral corneal clouding and severe myopia.

Retinal disorders v2.216 IRX5 Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Associated with Hamamy syndrome #611174 (AR) in OMIM. Hamamy syndrome is characterised by craniofacial dysmorphism, hearing loss, skeletal anomalies, microcytic hypochromic anemia and congenital heart defects. Severe myopia has also been reported. Homozygous missense variants in IRX5 were reported in 2 families with this condition (PMID: 22581230;17230486)

Duplication of gene
-------------------
PMID: 33891002 - Kohl et al 2021 - report 3 unrelated families with duplications of a region covering the genes IRX5 and IRX6 completely, and the proximal exons of MMP2 and cone dystrophy. They propose that overexpression of IRX5 and IRX6 may be the cause of the disease, and this is supported by expression analysis in patient-derived fibroblasts and zebrafish experiments.

Initial family is a large 5 generation German family with 14 members with autosomal dominant cone dystrophy in which a 600kb duplicated region covering IRX5/IRX6 and part of MMP2 was identified. 2 additional families of Chinese and Dutch descent with copy number gains of ~700 and ~850 kb, covering the same region were then identified. The smallest region of overlap is 608kb. In addition another family of German decent is reported with adCD and the same duplication as the first German family. It is not known if they are distantly related. Segregation analysis on available members of all families showed the duplication in affected members and not in unaffected.

They find that IRX5, IRX6 and MMP2 are expressed in human adult retina. Several lincRNA within the locus are also expressed. In patient derived fibroblasts IRX5 and IRX6 showed increased expression levels. Over expression of IRX5 and IRX6 results in impaired visual performance in zebrafish larvae.

Initial family is a large 5 generation German family with 14 members with autosomal dominant cone dystrophy in which a 600kb duplicated region covering IRX5/IRX6 and part of MMP2 was identified. 2 additional families of Chinese and Dutch descent with copy number gains of ~700 and ~850 kb, covering the same region were then identified.
