Added comment: Ansar et al. (PMID: 30481285) report on 8 individuals from 3 consanguineous families, all homozygous for FBXL3 variants.

The phenotype consisted of mild to severe intellectual disability (8/8), short stature (8/8) with a few common facial features.

In the first family - from Pakistan - all affected individuals were homozygous for a frameshift variant. The 2 sibs from the second family (from Lebanon) were homozygous for a nonsense variant. A further patient, born to distantly related parents from Italy, was found to harbor a missense variant [NM_012158.2:c.1072T>C or p.(Cys358Arg)] in the homozygous state.

FBXL3 is part of an ubiquitin ligase complex that binds the central clock protein cryptochromes (CRY1/2) mediating their degradation. Cys358Arg concerns the same codon as a similar - previously studied - variant (Cys358Ser) reported to affect the mouse circadian rhythm. Disturbance of circadian rhythm was observed in the patient with the Cys358Arg variant.

As previously demonstrated for mutations of the same codon and in line with a pathogenic role for this variant, in silico studies predict impaired interaction of FBXL3 with CRY2. It is proposed that the nonsense and frameshift variants lead to a similar effect due to severe truncation of the protein (upstream of leucine-rich domains important for this interaction).

The authors note that other F-box proteins are implicated in intellectual disability (as in the case of FBXO11 and FBXL4, both rated green in this panel).

As a result, FBXL3 can be considered for inclusion in this panel as green (or amber).
