Intellectual disability v9.198 TSEN34 Ida Ertmanska changed review comment from: PMID: 20952379 Namavar et al., 2011
Reported one Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2C patient with a homozygous p.R58W variant in TSEN34 and epileptic seizures. PCH2 patient with seizures and TSEN34 variant reported in (most likely the same patient as in PMID:18711368 Budde et al., 2008). Sequenced exon-intron boundaries of TSEN54, TSEN34, TSEN2, TSEN15, RARS2 and VRK1 only.
Patient details from PMID:18711368: Patient hg1, male, phenotype: progressive microcephaly, chorea/dystonia, visual impairment, spontaneous breath; MRI typical.

Brief mention of a 2-year-old female child diagnosed with TSEN34-related pontocerebellar hypoplasia Type 2 - no variant/clinical details.

Functional evidence:
PMID: 32476018 Hayne et al., 2020 / PMID: 37544645 Hayne et al., 2023
Human tRNA splicing endonuclease (TSEN) is comprised of four core subunits (TSEN54, TSEN2, TSEN34 and TSEN15), and it co-purifies with CLP1. Other TSEN subunits and CLP1 are all known to cause PCH. The TSEN34 R58W mutation eliminates a salt bridge between R58 and E218, affecting protein stability.

Intellectual disability v2.588 TSEN15 Konstantinos Varvagiannis gene: TSEN15 was added
gene: TSEN15 was added to Intellectual disability. Sources: Literature,Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen
Mode of inheritance for gene: TSEN15 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: TSEN15 were set to 27392077; 25558065
Phenotypes for gene: TSEN15 were set to Pontocerebellar hypoplasia, type 2F (MIM 617026)
Penetrance for gene: TSEN15 were set to Complete
Review for gene: TSEN15 was set to GREEN
gene: TSEN15 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: Biallelic pathogenic variants in TSEN15 cause Pontocerebellar hypoplasia, type 2F (MIM 617026).

Four individuals with molecular confirmation of the diagnosis, from 3 unrelated consanguineous families have been reported by Breuss et al. (PMID: 27392077). One of these individuals was previously included in a study of neurogenetic disorders in consanguineous families (Alazami et al. - PMID: 25558065). A similarly affected sib (possibly not tested) was reported for one patient.

DD with variable degrees of ID (mild to severe), progressive microcephaly were common to all. Seizures were noted in 2 individuals. MRI images (for the feature of pontocerebellar hypoplasia - PCH) were only available for 2 families.

Affected subjects were homozygous for missense variants private to each family, namely:
- NM_052965.3:c.226T>G (p.Trp76Gly)
- NM_052965.3:c.346C>T (p.His116Tyr)
- NM_052965.3:c.455A>G (p.Tyr152Cys)

Trp76Gly and Tyr152Cys resulted in reduced protein abundance while His116Tyr did not have an effect on TSEN15 expression levels.

TSEN15 is part of the tRNA splicing endonuclease complex, the 3 other components of which (TSEN2, TSEN34, TSEN54) have already been associated with PCH. The complex interacts with an RNA kinase encoded by CLP1.

All 3 variants resulted in altered stoichiometry (/relative abundance) of the 3 other subunits of the complex as well as the relative levels of CLP1.

Almost complete loss of in vitro tRNA cleavage activity was the case for purified complexes from all 3 mutants.
------
TSEN15 is included in the DD panel of G2P associated with Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia and Progressive Microcephaly (Disease confidence: probable). ID is among the assigned phenotypes.

This gene is included in gene panels for ID offered by diagnostic laboratories (incl. Radboudumc).
------
As a result, TSEN15 could be considered for inclusion in this panel as green (or amber).
