Added comment: 6 unrelated individuals
1x individual in a dystonia cohort index case with infancy-onset dystonia and other neurological manifestations with a de-novo missense variant, c.338G>A (p.Gly113Glu) in IMPDH2, predicted to disrupt an invariant residue within the cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) domain pair of the encoded protein.
IMPDH2 encodes IMPDH2, a key enzyme in the purine biosynthetic pathway, expressed throughout the brain and not linked previously to any human Mendelian condition.
1x individual with a de-novo substitution, c.337G>A (p.Gly113Arg), was found in in-house whole-exome sequencing data from 500 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. Through GeneMatcher, de novo variants identified:
3 x missense: c.729G>C (p.Gln243His), c.619G>C (p.Gly207Arg), and c.619G>A (p.Gly207Arg)
1 x deletion: c.478_480delTCC (p.Ser160del)
The six variants were predicted to be deleterious and none of them seen in control databases. All affected conserved amino acids and resided in and around the cystathionine-β-synthase domain pair.
The described variants are situated in and around the CBS domain pair, a regulatory element in which clustering of pathogenic missense variants has already been shown for the homologue of IMPDH2, IMPDH1.

All individuals shared similar neurodevelopmental phenotypes. Apart from the dystonia cohort index case, one participant had evidence of dystonic posturing.

Modelling of the variants on 3D protein structures revealed spatial clustering near specific functional sites, predicted to result in deregulation of IMPDH2 activity. Additionally, thermal-shift assays showed that the c.619G>A (p.Gly207Arg) variant, identified as within the CBS domain pair, and c.729G>C (p.Gln243His), which is in close vicinity, affected the stability or folding behaviour of IMPDH2.
