Global developmental delay or cognitive impairment (mild-profound) is reported in several surviving patients: PMID: 26931468 - Two unrelated cases: A male with global developmental delay, hypotonia and status epilepticus. WES revealed a c.1048G>A, p.G350R variant, for which low-level (6–8%) mosaicism was detected in the maternal sample. The second patient, with diffuse hypotonia, global developmental delay, poor growth, and persistent elevation of lactate, was found to harbour a de novo DNM1L variant (c.1135G>A, p.E379K). However, another de novo change in the PDHA1 gene (c.448G>A, p.G150R) was also found, and the definitive contribution of each variant to the patients phenotype could not be ascertained. PMID: 27328748 - Compound heterozygous DNM1L variants (c.106A>G, p.Ser36Gly; c.346_347delGA, p.Glu116Lysfs*6) identified in two brothers (3 and 16-years-old) with psychomotor delay, ocular and cerebellar involvement, including mild cognitive impairment in the older brother. Some supporting functional evidence using patient fibroblasts and a yeast model. PMID: 27301544 - De novo missense variant (c.1217T>C, p.Leu406Ser) identified in a child who presented severe hypotonia, infantile spasms with suppression‐burst and a high level of lactate in CSF. Development was profoundly delayed, and he attained no developmental milestones before his death at 18 months of age. PMID: 26604000 - De novo missense substitution, (c.1085G>A; p.Gly362Asp) identified in a child with refractory epilepsy. Profound global developmental delay was reported, and at the last clinical assessment (age 7 years), he remained nonambulatory with the use of <10 monosyllabic words. PMID: 26992161 - De novo heterozygous c.1084G>A (p.Gly362Ser) variant. Developmental delay was reported from 6-months of age, and at 2-years-old he was said to not be able to utter any intelligible words. There are also reports of an identical de novo heterozygous missense variant (p.R403C) in four unrelated individuals who all experienced normal development until a sudden-onset episode of status epilepticus at the age of 4, 5, 10, and 11-years-old, respectively. Subsequently, all presented with rapid neurological regression, diffuse cerebral atrophy and substantial cognitive decline. Functional studies showed the variant confers a dominant negative effect (PMID: 27145208; 30767894; 30711678). |

| Intellectual disability v2.1062 | CDH2 |
Konstantinos Varvagiannis changed review comment from: Accogli et al. (2019 - PMID: 31585109) report on 9 individuals with de novo pathogenic CDH2 variants. Overlapping features included axon pathfinding defects (corpus callosum agenesis/hypoplasia, mirror movements, Duane anomaly), cardiac, ocular and genital anomalies. Neurodevelopmental phenotypes included DD (8/9), ID (2/8 mild and 2/8 moderate, the remaining had either low-average/borderline int. functioning (2), did not present ID (2) or did not have relevant age for evaluation) and ASD (in 2). CDH2 encodes cadherin-2 (N-cadherin) with high expression in neural tissue. As the authors note, the gene has important role in neural development, incl. proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells, neural tube formation, synaptogenesis, neuronal migration and axon elongation. N-cadherin, similar to other classical cadherins has an extracellular domain with 5 extracellular cadherin (EC) domain repeats that mediate cell adhesion either in cis or in trans (between molecules of the same / different cells). Mutations in other cadherins have been associated among others with neurodevelopmental disorders (eg. PCDH19, PCDH12, etc). Variants in all cases were de novo, identified following trio-WES. 7 missense variants (6 of which clustering within the EC4-EC5 linker region or the EC5 domain - calculated p=1.37x10-4) and 2 frameshift ones predicted not to lead to NMD were identified. One individual had an additional DNM1 variant, formally fulfilling ACMG criteria for pathogenic. The authors however felt that presentation of the specific subject (low-average/borderline int. functioning, absence of seizures and microcephaly) was not compatible with the phenotype of DNM1-encephalopathy . Missense SNVs within the EC4-EC5 region, were shown to impair cell-cell adhesion by affecting both self-binding and trans adhesion to wt N-cadherin (in L cells studied). This supported a possible dominant-negative effect. A single variant in the EC2 domain - previously shown to be critical for adhesion - was thought to have a similar effect. The authors speculated that truncating variants may also act in a dominant-negative manner (as has been demonstrated for other cadherins) although LoF remains possible. Cdh2 knockout in mice is embryonically lethal. Mouse with conditional inactivation of Cdh2 in the cerebral cortex leads to cortical disorganization and CCA similar to the human phenotypes (PMIDs cited: 9015265, 17222817). Other animal studies (mouse, zebrafish, chicken, dog, etc) are also cited to link with specific defects. Heterozygous CDH2 variants affecting the ectodomain have been associated with ARVC (2 variants, one of which segregated with the disorder in a 3-generation family, the other identified in two unrelated families with several affecteds - refs. provided in the article). Cardiac abnormalities were noted in several subjects (incl. electrical activity in 2). [Amber rating of this gene in Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy panel]. ------ The gene is not associated with any phenotype in OMIM / G2P / SysID and not commonly included in panels for ID. ------ As a result CDH2 could be considered for inclusion in the ID panel probably as amber (mild/moderate ID in 4/8, uncertainty regarding the underlying effect of some variants or additional phenotypes (ARVC)) or green (>3 individuals/variants/families, ID is a feature and in some cases of moderate degree).

| Intellectual disability v2.621 | NECAP1 |
Konstantinos Varvagiannis gene: NECAP1 was added gene: NECAP1 was added to Intellectual disability. Sources: Literature Mode of inheritance for gene: NECAP1 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: NECAP1 were set to 24399846; 30525121; 30626896 Phenotypes for gene: NECAP1 were set to ?Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile 21, 615833 Penetrance for gene: NECAP1 were set to Complete Review for gene: NECAP1 was set to GREEN gene: NECAP1 was marked as current diagnostic Added comment: Biallelic pathogenic variants in NECAP1 cause ?Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 21 (MIM 615833). ---- PMID: 24399846 (Alazami et al. 2014) report on 6 individuals from an multigenerational family from Saudi Arabia with biallelic NECAP1 nonsense variant. The common phenotype consisted of hypotonia, profound global developmental delay preceding the onset of intractable seizures (fragmented multifocal clonic and tonic) in early infancy. Initial workup excluded metabolic causes. 4 of these individuals were born to first cousins once removed, while 2 additional affected subjects from the broader pedigree were born to seemingly unrelated parents from the same region. All affected individuals shared a single autozygous 4.78-Mb interval on chromosome 12p. Linkage analysis confirmed involvement of this locus (LOD score : 5.0447). Exome sequencing demonstrated homozygosity for a nonsense variant (NM_015509.3:c.142C>T - p.R48*). mRNA levels in lymphoblast cell lines from affected subjects were significantly reduced when compared to controls, probably due to NMD. Necap1 was shown to be strongly expressed in the developing (E14.5) mouse brain and spinal cord, upon immunohistochemical analysis (part of the current study). NECAP1 has been previously shown to have a functional role in Clathrin-mediated encocytocis (CME), a process which plays a critical role at the site of synapsis (in synaptic vesicle recycling). ---- PMID: 30525121 (Alsahli et al. 2018) report on a 41-month-old girl with hypotonia, profound global developmental delay and onset of seizures at the age of 3 months (generalized tonic and clonic / flexor hemispasms). Initial workup was negative for an eventual metabolic origin. The girl was born to consanguineous Saudi parents and was found to harbor the p.R48* variant in the homozygous state, following trio-WES. ---- PMID: 30626896 (Mizuguchi et al. 2019) report on a 16-month-old boy, born to consanguineous parents from Malaysia. This individual presented with axial hypotonia and profound developmental delay and developed generalized tonic-clonic and clonic seizures at the (corrected) age of 3 months. EEG demonstrated a burst suppression pattern and a clinical diagnosis of Ohtahara syndrome was retained. Metabolic workup was normal. Homozygosity for a splice-site NECAP1 variant (NM_015509.3:c.301+1G>A) was demonstrated following exome sequencing. The variant was shown to result in inclusion of a 44-bp intron, resulting in frameshift and introduction of a premature termination codon (p.Gly101Aspfs*45). The level of abnormal transcript was 2-fold increased in lymphoblast cells trated with cycloheximide when compared to cells treated with DMSO, suggesting involvement of NMD. As also in PMID: 30525121, the present study suggests similarities with the DNM1-related phenotype (Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 31 - #616346 - DNM1 is rated green in the ID panel) as DNM1 also participates in vesicle recycling. The authors of the present study also note that mutations in CLTC (encoding clathrin heavy chain) cause hypotonia with DD/ID with or without epilepsy (Mental retardation, autosomal dominant 56 - #617854 - CLTC is rated green in the ID panel). ---- NECAP1 is not associated with any phenotype in G2P. This gene is included in gene panels for ID offered by some diagnostic laboratories. ---- As a result this gene can be considered for inclusion in this panel as green (or amber).
