Intellectual disability v11.9 SEC31A Ida Ertmanska changed review comment from: PMID: 39725565 Almontashiri et al., 2025
Female proband; parents are first cousins. IUGR and multiple congenital anomalies were seen on the antenatal scan. She was born very small, with dysmorphic facial features. She had hypotonia with hyperreflexia, but no seizures. Head ultrasound revealed absent CC and an interhemispheric cyst. She had short bowed limbs, contractures, Wormian skull bones, shortening of the long bones, and microcephaly. She died at 15 days old due to bradycardia. Solo WES revealed a homozygous SEC31A splice variant c.1435-1G>A. Splice AI score is
Splice-Altering / strong (1) for this variant. RT-PCR showed exon skipping and overall reduction in SEC31A expression.

PMID: 40508110 AlTassan et al., 2025
Report of a 5yo male proband with global developmental delay, seizure disorder, hypotonia, spasticity, dysphagia, dysmorphic features, and bilateral hearing loss. Growth parameters indicated microcephaly, failure to thrive, and short stature. He was born to consanguineous parents. WES and WGS showed a homozygous SEC31A variant (c.1359C>G, p.Cys453Trp). Unaffected parents confirmed het.; to: PMID: 39725565 Almontashiri et al., 2025

Growth parameters indicated microcephaly, failure to thrive, and short stature. He was born to consanguineous parents. WES and WGS showed a homozygous SEC31A variant (c.1359C>G, p.Cys453Trp) - variant not in gnomAD v4.1.1. Unaffected parents confirmed het. Parents confirmed to be consanguineous, Arab ethnicity.

2 Bedouin sibs from a consanguineous family. The syndromic presenation included IUGR, marked developmental delay, spastic quadriplegia with profound contractures, pseudobulbar palsy with recurrent aspirations, epilepsy, dysmorphism, neurosensory deafness, optic nerve atrophy with no eye fixation, bilateral cataracts, microcephaly, and agenesis of CC. Focal and generalised tonic-clonic seizures were seen from birth. Both individuals died before age 4 years. Seq method: homozygosity mapping, WES. Both affected individuals were homozygous for the SEC31A: c.2776_2777dup, p.Ala927Thrfs*76 variant - not in gnomAD v4.1.1.

Functional evidence: Drosophila sec31a -/- null model showed early embryonic lethality. Knockdown of sec31a with RNAi in the eye yielded flies with severe eye phenotypes (disorganised ommatids). Brain-specific knockdown: larvae appeared to develop normally until death in the third instar larvae stage.

Review for gene: LDB1 was set to GREEN
Added comment: - Allington et al. 2024 (PMID: 39680505) investigate a cohort of 2697 trios with congenital primary cerebral ventriculomegaly using WES. Eight unrelated individuals identified with de novo variants in LDB1 (7 LOF, 1 predicted damaging missense) - exhibiting perinatally diagnosed cerebral ventriculomegaly, including neurosurgically treated congenital hydrocephalus. Additionally, 5/8 GDD, 3/8 autism, 2/8 delayed gross motor development, 2/8 had congenital heart defects (inc. coarctation, PDA), 2/8 camptodactyly.

Additional case was identified from GeneMatcher with a de novo frameshift variants in LDB1. Phenotypes include severe ventriculomegaly, absence of well formed gyri, severe limb contractures and camptodactyly. Search of Decipher/DDD also revealed 4 pathogenic de novo variants in LDB1 and associated binding partners in individuals congenital ventriculomegaly.

- Torene et al. 2023 (PMID: 38091987) identified three individuals with protein truncating variants. Two individuals with de novo variants both had ventriculomegaly, hypotonia, GDD, craniofacial abnormalities. The third individual inherited the variants from an asymptomatic mother, and displayed developmental delay, hypotonia, congenital heart defects and a small hypoplastic hippocampi but did not have ventriculomegaly or craniofacial anomalies.

- Jin et al. 2020 (PMID: 33077954) also report an individual with a de novo LOF variant in this gene who had congenital hydrocephalus but details on this case are otherwise limited.

Added comment: PMID:39753114 reported nine different individuals from eight unrelated families with a selenopathy with early-onset neurodegeneration. Thy were all identified with six different biallelic variants in EEFSEC gene, of which seven families had variants in homozygous state, while one family had variants in compound heterozygous state. They presented with global developmental delay, moderate or severe cognitive impairment, progressive spasticity, ataxia, and seizures. In addition, cerebral MRI primarily demonstrated a cerebellar pathology, including hypoplasia and progressive atrophy.

This gene has not yet been associated with any relevant phenotypes either in OMIM or in Gene2Phenotype.
