Added comment: Carapito et al. (doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2018.12.007 - PMID to add) report on 19 individuals with variants affecting ZMIZ1 (alternative symbols RAI17/KIAA1224/ZIMP10).

Features included DD/ID (19/19), feeding difficulties, growth failure, microcephaly and variable congenital malformations. Seizures were noted in 3 unrelated individuals (with different variants).

Variants included 6 missense SNVs, 5 frameshift variants, 1 splice site variant, 1 synonymous variant with probable impact on splicing (not studied) and 2 translocations.

In all individuals for whom parental studies were possible (n=16), the variants had occurred as de novo events while for 3 sibs harboring a frameshift variant parental samples were unavailable. These subjects however harbored the same variant as a DDD study participant included in the current report.

One translocation disrupted only ZMIZ1 while a second [t(X;10)] did not disrupt the coding sequence of any gene but only a distal enhancer 276 kb upstream of ZMIZ1. A previous study had found recurrent SNVs of the same region in ASD subjects and suggested possible interaction with the ZMIZ1 promoter (Liu et al. - PMID: 29754769).

The deleterious effect of both translocations was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. For 4 missense SNVs as well as a splice variant mRNA levels were similar to controls. The splice site (-2) variant was shown to produce 2 new splicing isoforms from utilization of alternative splice site acceptors.

ZMIZ1 belongs to the PIAS-like family of transcriptional coregulators.

Five missense variants were located in an alanine rich domain (aa 280-305). Seven other variants were predicted to shorten or remove the C-terminal transactivation domain.

This gene enhances - among others - the transcriptional activity of androgen receptor (AR). In vitro studies using HEK293T cell lines supported impaired coactivation of the AR for 3 variants studied. In utero electroporation of pathogenic variants in mouse embryos (E14.5) led to impaired neuronal positioning of the electroporated neurons and disruption of the morphology/polarization.

As the authors note previous studies have shown expression of Zimp10 in the developing mouse brain, craniofacial tissue as well as the interdigital region of limbs (PMIDs cited : 18053775 and 17967885) in line with ID, facial phenotype and syndactyly observed in some patients.

Finally the authors cite a previous report on an individual with ID due to a translocation [t(10;19)] disrupting both ZMIZ1 and PRR12 (Córdova-Fletes al. - PMID: 26163108). Although disruption of ZMIZ1 is discussed as a cause, PRR12 has recently been proposed as (also) an ID gene (Leduc et al. - PMID: 29556724). [For details see PRR12 in the current panel].
------------
One of the variants found in 2 unrelated individuals in the aforementioned study [NM_020338.3:c.899C>T or p.(T300M)] has been reported in a further individual investigated for ID in the context of a bigger cohort (Lelieveld et al. - PMID: 27479843).

------------
ZMIZ1 is not associated with any phenotype in OMIM, nor in G2P.
This gene has been included in gene panels for intellectual disability offered by some diagnostic laboratories.
------------
As a result, ZMIZ1 can be considered for inclusion in the ID panel as green.
