Added comment: DD/ID is an almost universal feature of individuals with biallelic COG6 mutations, whether this is associated with a type II transferrin IEF pattern (as in Congenital disorder of glycosylation, type IIl, 614576) or not (as in Shaheen syndrome, 615328).

More than 15 patients from several different families have been reported to date.

PMID: 26260076 is a collaborative study reporting on new patients as well as on individuals previously described up to 2015 by Lubbehusen et al. (2010 - PMID: 20605848), Huybrechts et al. (2012 - PMID: 23430903) as well as Shaheen et al. (2013 - PMID: 23606727).

As summarized in table 1 of this article, developmental disability was a feature in 8/10, although for a further 2/10 this was probably not relevant (both deceased too early).

The following articles are additional reports although there might be some overlap (applicable for the Saudi patients) : PMIDs: 28139241 (individuals with diagnosis of CDG from Spain), 28742265 (cohort of CDG patients from Saudi Arabia), 29445937 (case report of Saudi subject), 29709711 (Chinese individual with COG6-CDG).

All types of variants have been observed including missense, stopgain and frameshift ones, as well as variants leading to aberrant splicing [eg. positions -2, -9, -24]. The deep intronic variant (position -24) in the individuals reported by Shaheen and others is considered a founder mutation in the Saudi population.

Individuals homozygous for the latter variant have detectable levels of the normal transcript, although 75% of the produced transcript (upon RT-PCR analysis) correspond to retention of 37 intronic nucleotides leading to frameshift and introduction of a premature stop codon. This was also confirmed with Western blot.

Given the detectable levels of the normal transcript, it has been proposed that Shaheen syndrome represents the mildest end of the spectrum COG6-related disorders.

COG6 is included in gene panels for intellectual disability offered by different diagnostic laboratories.

As a result this gene can be considered for inclusion in this panel as green.
