Intellectual disability v5.332 RAP1B Achchuthan Shanmugasundram changed review comment from: PMID:35451551 - New patient reported with mild intellectual disability, bicuspid aortic valve, dilation of aortic root and ascending aorta, hearing loss, and long‐standing thrombocytopenia with lymphopenia. A novel, missense RAP1B variant (p.Ala59Gly) has been identified in this patient. This variant is on the neighbouring amino acid to one of the previously reported variants (p.Gly60Arg). This variant is confirmed de novo and not in gnomAD; to: PMID:35451551 - New patient reported with mild intellectual disability, bicuspid aortic valve, dilation of aortic root and ascending aorta, hearing loss, and long‐standing thrombocytopenia with lymphopenia.

Intellectual disability v3.1220 PLXNA2 Konstantinos Varvagiannis changed review comment from: Altuame et al (2021 - PMID: 34327814) describe 3 individuals from 2 consanguineous Arab families with biallelic PLXNA2 variants.

The index patient from the 1st family presented with CHD (hypoplastic right ventricle, ASD), DD and moderate ID (IQ of 40), failure to thrive as well as some dysmorphic features (obtuse mandibular angle, mild overbite, synophrys with downslanting p-f, strabismus, etc). There were additional features (eg. postaxial polydactyly) which were found in other affected and unaffected family members.

Exome sequencing with autozygome analysis revealed homozygosity for a PLXNA2 stopgain variant (NM_025179:c.3603C>A / p.(Cys1201*)).

Sanger confirmation was carried out and segregation analyses confirmed carrier status of the unaffected parents and a sib as well as a brother homozygous for the same variant. Clinical evaluation of the latter, following this finding revealed borderline intellectual functioning, ADHD, failure to thrive. There was no mandibular anomaly or overbite and no clinical evidence of CHD (no echo performed).

The index patient from the 2nd consanguineous family was evaluated for ID (IQ of 63), with previous borderline motor development, ADHD and some dysmorphic features (obtuse mandibular angle and overbite). There was no clinical evidence of CHD (no echo performed).

Exome sequencing with autozygosity mapping revealed a homozygous missense PLXNA2 variant (c.3073G>A / p.(Asp1025Asn), present only once in gnomAD (htz), with rather non-concordant in silico predictions SIFT 0.22, PolyPhen 0.682 and CADD 23.5. The aa was however highly conserved.

Segregation analysis confirmed carrier state of the parents and 2 unaffected sibs, with a 3rd sib homozygous for the wt allele.

As the authors discuss:
*PLXNA2 belongs to the plexin family of genes, encoding transmbembrane proteins functioning as semaphorin receptors. It has predominant expression in neural tissue. The protein is thought to bind semaphorin-3A, -3C or -5 followed by plexin A2 dimerization, activation of its GTPase-activating protein domain, negative regulation of Rap1B GTPase and initiation of a signal transduction cascade mediating axonal repulsion/guidance, dendritic guidance, neuronal migration.
*Murine Plxna2 knockout models display structural brain defects. In addition they display congenital heart defects incl. persistent truncus arteriosus and interrupted aortic arch.
*Rare CNVs in adult humans with tetralogy of Fallot have suggested a potential role of PLXNA2 in cardiac development and CHD.
*Expression and the role of PLXNA2 in human chondrocytes as well as a GWAS in 240 japanese patients with mandibular prognathism where PLXNA2 was suggested as a susceptibility locus.

Overall, the authors recognize some common features (as for cognitive functioning, some dysmorphic features incl. obtuse mandibular angle and overbite in 2 unrelated subjects, failure to thrive 3/3) and provide plausible explanations for the variability / discordance of others eg:
- Cyanotic heart disease explaining discordance in cognitive outcome among sibs
- Incomplete penetrance for CHD (and/or ID or mandibular anomaly) as for few AR disorders and/or
- Additional pathogenic variants explaining the CHD in the first subject.

There is no associated phenotype in OMIM or G2P. SysID includes PLXNA2 among the candidate ID genes.

Intellectual disability v3.661 RAP1B Ivone Leong Classified gene: RAP1B as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Intellectual disability v3.661 RAP1B Ivone Leong Added comment: Comment on list classification: New gene added by Zornitza Stark (Australian Genomics). This gene is associated with a phenotype in Gene2Phenotype but not OMIM.

PMID: 32627184 describes 2 patients.
36 yo patient of non-consanguineous parents. Had unclear pancytopenia, multiple congenital malformations, mild intellectual disability, endocrine disorders (short stature with growth hormone deficiency), dysmorphism and other features. Parents and sibling unaffected.
13 yo of non-consanguineous parents with thrombocytopenia, multiple congenital anomalies and learning difficulties. He had normal developmental milestones, walk was achieved at 14 months and there was no speech delay. He attended mainstream school with auxiliary help because of learning difficulties with graphism, syntaxic comprehension, logical reasoning and attention deficit. Parents and siblings unaffected.

PMID: 26280580 describes another patient with variant in RAP1B. The clinical features can be found in supplementary table 2. The table lists ID, but doesn't say severity and lists a host of other features including short stature, facial dysmorphism and skeletal findings.

All 3 cases seem to have a very wide spectrum of differing phenotypes and therefore, this gene has been given an Amber rating until further evidence is available.
