Intellectual disability v10.37 TMEM63B Eleanor Williams Added comment: Comment on mode of inheritance: There are sufficient biallelic cases with loss of function variants and phenotype that includes moderate-severe developmental delay as well as lung disease to change the mode of inheritance to BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal subject to GMS review.

Intellectual disability v10.36 TMEM63B Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Heterozygous variants in TMEM63B are associated with Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 118 (OMIM:621250, accessed 25th Jun 2026) with a gain-of-function mechanism proposed. Variants reported are either missense or an in-frame deletion. The main phenotypic features are severe early-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, intellectual disability, and severe motor and cortical visual impairment associated with progressive neurodegenerative brain changes (PMID: 37421948, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950221724000394. Hearing loss is reported in mouse TMEM63B knockouts PMID: 32375046).

PMID: 42259295 Chan et al 2026 report five individuals from four unrelated families with childhood interstitial lung disease and biallelic predicted loss-of-function variants in TMEM63B. Other phenotypic characteristics include moderate/severe developmental delay (5/5), white matter changes, (1/5), mild global atrophy on brain imaging (1/5) and severe short stature (2/5). None of the individuals had epilepsy or hearing loss.

Individuals were from Saudi Arabian, Malay, European and Native American ethnicities. 5 different variants were reported including nonsense, frameshift and splice donor variants.

In family A a heterozygous ABCA3 missense variant of unknown significance was also inherited from the mother. Biallelic variants in ABCA3 are associated with Surfactant metabolism dysfunction, pulmonary, 3, OMIM:610921.

The authors report that while there are 53 TMEM63B pLoF variants in gnomAD v.4.1.0 database none are in the homozygous state. Histopathological examination of lung tissue also showed a pattern consistent with surfactant dysfunction.

The authors conclude that biallelic loss of function variants result in a distinct pulmonary-predominant phenotype characterized by hypoxemia, early-onset respiratory failure, histological features of surfactant dysfunction, and chest imaging consistent with chILD. Moderate to severe developmental delay was reported in all individuals.; to: Heterozygous variants in TMEM63B are associated with Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 118 (OMIM:621250, accessed 25th Jun 2026) with a gain-of-function mechanism proposed.

Added comment: PMID:37421948 - 17 unrelated individuals with severe early-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), intellectual disability, and severe motor and cortical visual impairment were identified with ten distinct heterozygous variants inTMEM63B. The variants occurred de novo in 16/17 individuals for whom parental DNA was available and either missense or in-frame. All individuals had global developmental delay, with moderate-to-profound intellectual disability and severe motor impairment.
