Added comment: While Kaplanis et al (2020 - Ref1), identified FBXW7 among 285 genes significantly associated with developmental disorders, a recent study by Stephenson et al (2022 - Ref2) describes the neurodevelopmental phenotype of 35 individuals making this gene relevant to the current panel. There are previous reports of dn/inh germline variants in individuals (likely 7) with tumor predisposition although a neurodevelopmental phenotype was not reported in most cases.

There is currently no FBXW7-related phenotype in OMIM.

The gene is included in the DD panel of G2P [associated with: FBXW7-related developmental disorder (monoallelic), confidence: definitive, citing the study by Kaplanis et al]. SysID lists FBXW7 among the candidate ID genes (same Ref.). The gene has a green rating for ID in PanelApp Australia (VCGS participating in the recent publication).

Consider inclusion with amber/green rating. Also consider inclusion in other panels that may be relevant(macro/microcephaly, seizures, CHD, corpus callosum / cerebellar abnormalities, cleft palate, WT, etc).

[1]------------
Kaplanis et al (2020 - PMID: 33057194), by combining exome data from 31,058 parent offspring trios from the DDD study, Radboudumc and GeneDx, identified 285 genes significantly associated with developmental disorders, 28 of which (incl. FBXW7) not previously robustly associated with these disorders.

[2]------------
Stephenson et al (2022 - PMID: 35395208) provide clinical information on 35 individuals harboring germline monoallelic FBXW7 variants or chromosomal deletions spanning this gene.

The phenotype corresponded to a phenotypically variable NDD characterized by hypotonia (in about 2/3), neurodevelopmental abnormality (34/35 - as discussed later), seizures (8/35), abnormal brain morphology (13/17 - in 7/17 abnormal CC, in 5/17 abn. cerebellum, etc), head circumference (macrocephaly in 10/35, microcephaly in 2/35). Additional features included abnormal palate or uvula morphology (10/35 - cleft palate in 3 from 2 families while 1 individual from a 3rd family had bifid uvula) or abnormal heart morphology (11/35), ophthalmologic features (e.g. strabismus in 5/35) or hearing impairment (2/35). There was no recognizable gestalt (deeply set eyes with upper eyelid fullness in 9/35).

As for the DD/ID this ranged from borderline to severe, characterized as mild-moderate in 27/35, severe in 3/35. One individual did not present neurodevelopmental abnormality 1/35.

FBXW7 encodes F-box and WD40 domain protein 7 which is part of the SCF E3 ligase complex (SKP1/CUL1/F-box protein) exerting a role of recognition and binding of target proteins for degradation by the ubiquitin proteasome system. In this way FBWX7 participates in regulating a network of proteins involved in cell division, growth, differentiation (as summarized by Roversi et al - Ref2).

Most individuals were investigated by trio-WES/WGS (few with singleton WES or CMA only). 28 germline FBXW7 variants were identified incl. missense (N=21), pLoF (predicted or not to undergo NMD) and 2 deletions encompassing but not limited to FBXW7.

Additional SNVs/CNVs (e.g. an inh intragenic DPP6 dup in one individual (#9) with deletion, other de novo 4q CNVs (#10), an inh 22q spanning partially an ISCA TS region, a CACNA1A and KMT2D SNV, etc) were reported in few individuals.

Most variants arose dn (N=30) with two individuals displaying mosaicism (2/30) and three individuals having inherited the variant from their affected parent. CNVs had occurred dn.

3 missense SNVs were recurrent in unrelated individuals.

All variants identified affected all FBXW7 isoforms.

As the authors comment missense variants clustered at the C-terminal half of the protein with most (16/21) occurring within the WD40 domain. [The N-terminal part commented in the literature to affect localization].

The crystal structure of FBXW7 and SKP1 complex has been determined with CYCLIN E1/DISC1 as substrates, and in silico modeling revealed that all missense variants aligned with residues required for this interaction, or adjacent ones.

All were absent from gnomAD, while missense variants from gnomAD (N=78) were not predicted have significant effect on the binding affinity.

Variant studies revealed that most missense variants (6/7 tested - Arg689Gln being the exception) are unlikely to cause protein instability or degradation in vivo.

Co-expression of these missense variants with CYCLIN E1 / E2, known FBXW7 substrates revealed that variants were less efficient at degrading the substrate with variants in the WD40 domain having greater impact (in some cases E1 / E2 - specific).

Elav-Gal4 mediated neuronal knockdown of the Drosophila ortholog archipelago (ago) using 2 RNAi-s with different efficiency was shown to affect learning or compromise neuronal function (also related to the level of knockdown).

The authors summarize results from animal models for the role of this gene in development and the nervous system.

KO mice die in utero at E10.5 manifesting abn. of hematopoietic or vascular development and heart-chamber maturation(*). Some htz knock-in for human cancer variants, display perinatal lethality, abn lung, cleft palate (30%)(*),etc. Conditional gut specific deletion results in impaired differentiation of intestinal goblet cells (*)(constipation in 16/35 in cohort). KO limited to CNS and PNS results in defective sucking and morphological brain abnormalities. Haploinsufficiency in the nervous system was associated with impaired differentiation of neural stem cells (possibly through a Notch-mediated mechanism). KO in Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system resulted in enhanced myelination.

Excessive oligodendrocyte cells and hypermyelination (as a result of elevated Notch & mTOR signaling) are observed in homozygous mutant zebrafish or after morpholino-mediated fbxw7 knockdown.

Overall, the authors propose haploinsufficiency or loss-of-function as the underlying mechanism.

Finally, as the authors comment, FBXW7 is a tumor suppressor among the most commonly mutated genes in human cancer (3.5%). Germline variants have been previously reported in individuals with cancer (Wilms tumor, rhabdoid, etc - most summarized below). However, none of the 35 individuals in this cohort (oldest 44 y.o.) had any history of cancer.

Reports of individuals with germline variants causing (monoallelic) disruption of FBXW7 - cases without DD/ID:

[3]------------
Mahamdallie et al (2019 - PMID: 30885698) investigated with WES a cohort of 890 individuals with Wilms tumor (799 non-familial disease, 91 from WT pedigrees). In this context they identified 4 individuals having developed WT (ages: 28-76m) with FBXW7 dn or inherited LoF variants (710G>A / p.Trp237* dn - 1972C>T / p.Arg658* - inh:NA, 1017_1021del5, 670C>T - paternal / p.Arg224* inh:NA - RefSeq not provided). One additional individual with a missense variant (1753A>T / p.Ser585Cys - dn) had developed rhabdoid tumor. While the authors mentioned additional features for other subjects in their cohort, among the 5 individuals with FBXW7 variants, only one had hypotonia (ID_0592) and another (ID_7520) had two febrile convulsions.

[4]------------
Roversi et al (2015 - PMID: 26482194) described the phenotype of a 34 y.o. female with syndromic presentation (macrocephaly, nephrotic syndrome due to FSGS, Hodgkin's lymphoma, Wilms tumor, ovarian cystadenoma, breast carcinoma) harboring a 157 kb deletion of 4q31.3.

Eventual DD/ID was not reported despite detailed clinical description.

The deletion spanned almost the entire FBXW7 gene and a pseudogene (hg19 - chr4:153205202-153362047). The authors provided evidence that the del affected the maternal allele as dn event (maternal mosaicism excluded). Expression of FBXW7 in patient-derived EBV lymphoblastoid cell line revealed decreased levels of expression compared to controls. At somatic level, the authors looked for eventual 2nd hit in tumor tissue (which was not the case) while they demonstrated decreased FBXW7 expression in a WT sample compared to normal renal tissue. Previously, variants in other genes candidate for the phenotype were ruled out (Sanger & MLPA for TP53, BRCA1/2, PALB2, WT1, 11p15 MS-MLPA, std karyotype).

[5]------------
Kuiper et al (2015 - PMID: 19963109), in a 58 y.o. patient with recurrence of RCC, identified a constitutional translocation [t(3;4)(q21;q31)]. Using long-range PCR they defined the breakpoints at 3q21.3 (128379059 - hg18) between the PLXNA1 and C3orf56 genes while the chr4 breakpoint was located within the second intron of FBXW7 (pos. 153500813 - hg18). There were no additional phenotypes reported.

[6]------------
Williams et al (2010 - PMID: 20332316) reported a patient with WT harboring germline variants in WT1 and FBXW7. While the phenotype was sufficiently explained by a germline stopgain WT1 variant with a frameshift WT1 variant (as 2nd hit) confined to the tumor, the authors identified a germline in-frame FBXW7 insertion in the same individual (c.45_46insCCT / p.Thr15_Gly16insPro - RefS : NA) [if correct corresponding to: https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/4-153332910-C-CAGG - 345/281696 alleles in gnomAD].

Added comment: Verkerk et al (2018 - PMID: 29374277) reported on a three-generation family with five males and one female presenting mild non-syndromic ID. Segregation was compatible with X-linked inheritance.

Multipoint linkage analysis with XL microsatellite markers demonstrated a linkage peak at Xq23-24 with LOD score of 3.3. Haplotype analysis and utilization of additional STR markers allowed narrowing to a region of 7.6 Mb containing 92 genes.

WGS in 3 affected males (spanning 3 generations) and 1 unaffected male and application of relevant filters for rare protein affecting variants within this region - present only in affected but absent in the unaffected individual - suggested a CXorf56 frameshift variant in exon 2 [NM_022101.3:c.159_160insTA / p.(Asp54*)] as the only relevant for this phenotype.

Sanger sequencing was performed for 25 family members with all 5 affected males and 1 affected female harboring this insertion and 8 unaffected females (also) shown to be carriers.

X-chromosome inactivation studies demonstrated that unaffected females had skewed inactivation (76-93%) of the variant allele, while the single affected female did not have a skewed XCI pattern (54%).

In EBV-transformed lymphoblasts grown with/without cycloheximide, mRNA levels were shown to be significantly lower in the affected female compared to unaffected ones (and corrected upon treatment with cycloheximide). mRNA levels were also significantly lower in cell lines from an affected male, with expression showing significant increase after treatment with cycloheximide. These results confirmed that nonsense-mediated decay applies.

The variant was absent from ExAC (where CXorf56 has a pLI of 0.93) and 188 healthy Dutch individuals.

The function of CXorf56 is not known. The gene appears to be expressed in brain and a (broad) range of other tissues [ https://gtexportal.org/home/gene/CXORF56 ].

Immunostaining in 8-week old murine brain, showed that the protein is present in the nucleus and cell soma of most neurons in brain cortex and cerebellum. Upon transfection of human CXorf56 cDNA in mouse primary hippocampal neurons, the protein localized in the nucleus, dendrites (co-localizing with Map2) and dendritic spines. As the authors note, the latter may suggest a role in synaptic function.

Overexpression in HEK293T cells demonstrated predominantly nuclear localization.

Mouse : Based on MGI (and an article by Cox et al. - PMID: 20548051 / both cited by the authors) male chimeras hemizygous for a gene trapped allele have abnormal midbrain-hindbrain boundary morphology, decreased forebrain size, while a subset hemizygous for a different gene trapped allele show growth delay [ http://www.informatics.jax.org/marker/MGI:1924894 ].

Rocha et al (2019 - PMID: 31822863) report on 9 affected individuals with mild to severe ID belonging to 3 unrelated families. Additional features in this cohort - observed in some - included abnormal reflexes, fine tremor, seizures (in 3), abnormal gait, etc.

In the 1st family, 3 males presented with (severe/severe/moderate) ID and 2 females with mild ID. Following a normal CMA and FMR1 testing, trio plus exome sequencing revealed a CXorf56 in-frame deletion [NM_022101.3:c.498_503del / p.(Glu167_Glu168del)]. Sanger sequencing in 9 members, confirmed presence of the variant in one unaffected mother, all her affected sons (2) and daughers(2) and an affected grandson and absence in 2 remaining unaffected daughters. Skewing of XCI was seen in blood cells from affected females (97 and 83%) while the unaffected mother had complete inactivation of the carrier X-chromosome. The authors commented that even minor reductions in CXorf56 (suggested by XCI in affected females) may be detrimental and/or that inactivation for this gene may be different than that of AR gene (which was studied instead) or in other tissues.

In family 2, an affected mother (with learning difficulties) and her 2 sons - the most severely affected presenting moderate ID - harbored a frameshift variant [c.303_304delCTinsACCC / p.(Phe101Leufs*20)].

A male with ID belonging to a 3rd family, for which no further information was available, was found to harbor the c.498_503del variant (also discussed above) as a de novo event.

It has been commented that individuals with Xq24 deletions spanning CXorf56 present with ID, although (all) such deletions reported in the literature also span the neighboring UBE2A gene, associated with Mental retardation, X-linked syndromic, Nascimento-type (MIM #300860).

-----

In OMIM, the CXorf56-related phenotype is ?Mental retardation, X-linked 107 (# 301013), based only on the report by Verkerk et al.

This gene is included in gene panels for ID offered by some diagnostic laboratories (incl. Radboudumc).

-----

Overall, CXorf56 can be considered for inclusion in the ID panel either with amber (function of the gene unknown, skewed XCI also in affected females in the 2nd reference) or with green rating (several individuals from 4 families, compatible segregation studies and females presenting a milder phenotype than males or unaffected, LOD score in the 1st report, studies confirming lower mRNA levels and NMD, gene expressed in human brain, expression in mouse brain cortex and cerebellum, evidence from transfection studies in mouse hippocampal neurons).

Added comment: Ganapathi et al. (doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2018.12.017 - PMID : NA) report on 5 individuals from 4 unrelated families with biallelic pathogenic variants in DHPS.

The phenotype consisted of DD/ID (5/5), tone abnormalities (hypotonia/hypertonia/spasticity - 5/5), seizures (5/5 - in one case though unclear staring spells) with EEG abnormalities (5/5). Additionally most individuals displayed behavioral issues, or some common facial features.

Several other disorders had been ruled prior to the diagnosis, in all cases by exome sequencing.

All individuals harbored a specific missense variant (c.518A>G or p.Asn173Ser) in trans with various other variants incl. a splice site mutation (c.1014+1G>A), an in-frame deletion of 2 amino acids (c.912_917delTTACAT or p.Tyr305_Ile306del) or a variant abolishing the translation initiation codon (c.1A>G or p.Met1?) [All variants using NM_001930.3 as a reference].

Deoxyhypusine synthase (encoded by DHPS) is an enzyme participating in the first step of hypusine synthesis, an amino-acid which is specific to eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) and its homolog (eIF5A2).

eIF5A, its hypusinated form and DHPS have all been previously implicated in cellular proliferation/differentiation. eIF5A has also been proposed to be a mRNA translation elongation factor. A role of eIF5A in neuronal growth and survival has been proposed previously (all ref. in present article).

Neither eIF5A, nor DHPS or DOHH (an enzyme required for the second step of hypusination) have been associated to any disorders previously. Mutations in genes encoding other eukaryotic elongator factors (eg. EEF1A2, EEF2) have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Concerning the DHPS variants reported:

cDNA studies suggested that the c.1014+1G>A variant is translated but results in aberrant splicing and truncation of the protein before its active site.

The in-frame deletion as well as the missense variant were shown to have absent or partial (20%) enzyme activity in vitro respectively compared to wild-type (following expression in E.coli BL21(DE3) cells).

In line with this, reduced hypusination of eIF5A was observed for these 2 variants when compared to wild-type DHPS, upon co-transfection of constructs overexpressing DHPS (wt or mut.) and eIF5A in HEK293T cells.

Absence of homozygous DHPS LoF variants in population databases might suggest that complete deficiency is incompatible with normal embryonic development. Mice heterozygous for Dhps deletion do not demonstrate severe phenotypes, though homozygosity is embryonically lethal (PMIDs: 21389784, 21850436).
---------
DHPS is not associated with any phenotype in G2P, nor in OMIM.
This gene is not - at least commonly - included in gene panels for ID offered by diagnostic laboratories.
---------
As a result, DHPS can be considered for inclusion in this panel as green (or amber).
