Clefting v7.3 LOXL3 Ida Ertmanska changed review comment from: Comment on list classification: There are now 8 individuals from 4 unrelated families with biallelic LOXL3 variants and variable clinical features consistent with Stickler syndrome, including cleft palate in 2 unrelated families. A mouse model with a knock in missense variant in LOXL3 recapitulated Stickler syndrome features, including clefting. Hence, this gene should be promoted to Green at the next update.; to: Comment on list classification: There are now 8 individuals from 4 unrelated families with biallelic LOXL3 variants and variable clinical features consistent with Stickler syndrome, including cleft palate in 4 individuals from 2 unrelated families. Another unrelated individual presented with a high-arched palate. A mouse model with a knock in missense variant in LOXL3 recapitulated Stickler syndrome features, including clefting. Hence, this gene should be promoted to Green at the next update.
Clefting v7.3 LOXL3 Ida Ertmanska Classified gene: LOXL3 as Amber List (moderate evidence)

3 sisters with biallelic LOXL3 variants and Stickler Syndrome. Comp het for c.1735C>T, p.Arg579* and c.956G>A, p.Arg319Gln in LOXL3 - targeted NGS panel. Parents are healthy carriers of one LOXL3 variant each. Shared phenotype: skeletal anomalies in feet and hands, cleft palate, high myopia, bilateral conductive hearing loss (2/3).

4yo boy with reduced visual acuity 6/30 in both eyes, bilateral vitreous syneresis, foveal hypoplasia and bilateral high myopia (-8.50D). A skeletal survey showed mild spondylo-epi-metaphyseal dysplasia. Normal hearing. WES revealed a homozygous LOXL3 variant c.1448_1449del, p.(Thr483Argfs*13), inherited through paternal UPiD of chromosome 2.

9 unrelated Chinese patients with LOXL3 variants and early-onset extreme high myopia - main and consistent feature across the cohort. No significant skeletal abnormalities, midface development, palate malformation was observed in these nine patients; auditory assessment normal where available. Authors hypothesise that biallelic missense variants result in Stickler syndrome, while truncating variants yield isolated high myopia - this is not very consistent, though.

Report of a child and his father who had clinical features consistent with Stickler syndrome and found to have a homozygous novel mutation c.1036C>T (p.Arg346Trp) in LOXL3. Clinical features: high myopia, short stature, retinal changes, high-arched palate (son only). No hearing loss.

Saudi family with AR Stickler syndrome. Parents are second cousins. Index patient: 16yo boy with cleft palate, micro/retrognathia, non-progressive myopia (-10.00 D) with chorioretinal lattice degeneration, mild conductive hearing loss. 8yo sister has similar presentation, with myopia of -13.00 D and normal hearing. Both had normal development. Homozygous LOXL3 c.2027G>T, p.Cys676Phe detected in the sibs (exome seq + autozygosity filtering).

Functional evidence: PMID: 36610533 Liu et al., 2023 - a mouse model of Stickler syndrome was made by inducing a LOXL3 mutation (c.2027G>A, p.Cys676Tyr) using CRISPR/Cas9. The Loxl3 mutant mice exhibited perinatal death, spinal deformity, cleft palate, skeletal dysplasia and progressive visual degeneration.
