Intellectual disability v9.231 KDM2A Achchuthan Shanmugasundram changed review comment from: PMID:41468891 (2025) reported a cohort of 18 unrelated individuals including one foetus with heterozygous de novo variants in KDM2A gene and with a neurodevelopmental disorder.

All individuals, excluding the foetus, exhibited developmental delay and/or intellectual disability, with the severity of developmental delay or intellectual disability ranging from learning disabilities to severe intellectual disability. The majority of individuals were affected by mild developmental delay/intellectual disability (11/17) or learning disabilities (2/17), while four individuals presented with severe developmental delay/intellectual disability.

Thew other reported phenotypes include microcephaly (six individuals including the foetus), seizures (five), hypotonia (four), IUGR (eight), short stature (nine), feeding difficulties (six) and dysmorphic facial features (twelve).

The study proposed dual mechanism of pathogenicity: loss of nuclear function for some variants tested and additional cytoplasmic gain-of-function toxicity for c.704C>T (p.Pro235Leu), as eliminating endogenous Drosophila Kdm2 did not produce noticeable neurodevelopmental phenotypes.

This gene has not yet been associated with relevant phenotypes in OMIM (last accessed 09 January 2026), Gene2Phenotype or ClinGen.

Intellectual disability v9.231 KDM2A Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Classified gene: KDM2A as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Intellectual disability v9.231 KDM2A Achchuthan Shanmugasundram Added comment: Comment on list classification: There is sufficient evidence available (17 unrelated patients) for the association of KDM2A gene with syndromic intellectual disability. Hence, this gene can be promoted to green rating in the next GMS update.
