| Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v3.1525 | CACNA2D1 |
Konstantinos Varvagiannis gene: CACNA2D1 was added gene: CACNA2D1 was added to Intellectual disability. Sources: Literature,Other Mode of inheritance for gene: CACNA2D1 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: CACNA2D1 were set to 35293990; 28097321 Phenotypes for gene: CACNA2D1 were set to Abnormal muscle tone; Feeding difficulties; Global developmental delay; Intellectual disability; Seizures; Microcephaly; Abnormality of the corpus callosum; Cerebral atrophy; Abnormality of movement; Cortical visual impairment; Pain insensitivity Penetrance for gene: CACNA2D1 were set to Complete Review for gene: CACNA2D1 was set to GREEN Added comment: Consider inclusion in the current panel with green rating. Recent report of 2 unrelated individuals with DEE due to biallelic CACNA2D1 variants. Both referred to neurology/genetics for hypotonia/severe DD prior to onset of seizures. One further individual with hypotonia and severe ID (seizures not discussed, age unknown). Gene with established role, encoding α2δ-1 subunit of Cav channels. Studies for the variants support loss-of-function as the underlying effect. Eventual contribution of monoallelic variants to NDD-phenotypes discussed (and put in question) in Ref [1] below. There is currently no phenotype for CACNA2D1 in OMIM/G2P. In SysID this gene is listed among the candidates for ID, based on a previous report. CACNA2D1 is not currently included in the ID/epilepsy panels in PanelApp Australia. See also relevant review in epilepsy panel (Dr. H. Lord). Please consider also inclusion in other panels (e.g. microcephaly, corpus callosum, movement disorders, etc). [1] ---- Dahimene et al (2022 - PMID: 35293990) describe the phenotype of 2 unrelated individuals with biallelic CACNA2D1 variants. Overall, the phenotype corresponded to an early-onset DEE, characterized by abnormal muscle tone (axial hypotonia 2/2 with spasticity in extremities in 2/2), feeding difficulties (2/2), profound DD and ID (2/2), microcephaly (2/2 - approx. -2 SD in both), seizures (2/2 - 1st : onset 9m with absences and later generalized seizures, 2nd : onset 11m with hemi-clonic seizures and atypical absences). Other features included cortical visual impairment (2/2) and movement disorder (incl. choreiform movements 2/2, orofacial dyskinesia 2/2 and dystonic episodes 1/2). Brain MRI revealed corpus callosum anomalies (2/2) and cerebral atrophy (2/2). Both had echocardiography (abnormal in 1/2 - tiny PFO) and electrocardiography which was normal. Both exhibited insensibility to pain. Presentation is relevant to the current panel as first symptoms in the first 3 months with severe hypotonia and poor head control (2/2) with evaluation in neurology/genetics preceding onset of seizures in both. Trio ES was performed for both individuals and their (healthy) parents and revealed homozygosity for a fs variant in the first [NM_000722.3:c.818_822dup / p.(Ser275Asnfs*13)] and compound htz for a fs and a missense variant [c.13_23dup / p.(Leu9Alafs*5) and c.626G>A / p.(Gly209Asp)] in the second affected individual, respectively. Eventual additional variants were not discussed. Previous investigations are only provided for the 2nd and were all normal (karyotype, CMA, 15q methylation, epilepsy/neurometabolic gene panels). Voltage-gated calcium channels are heteromultimers comprising different subunits incl. an alpha-1 (α1), α2δ (alpha-2/delta), beta (β) and gamma (γ). CACNA2D1 is one of the 4 genes (CACNA2D1-4) encoding the alpha-2/delta subunit. Its product is post-translationally processed into 2 peptides, an alpha-2 and a delta subunit, held by a disulfide bond. Biallelic variants in CACNA2D2 - also encoding an alpha-2/delta subunit - cause cerebellar atrophy with seizures and variable developmental delay (# 618501). Variant studies support loss-of-function effect for the studied variants, notably by NMD for the fs one, and severe impairment of the Cav2 channel function for the missense one : - CACNA2D1 mRNA was reduced to 6-9% compared with control in fibroblasts from the 1st individual. mRNA levels for the 2nd subject were similar to control. - Quantification of the protein in whole-cell lysates from fibroblasts revealed lower α2δ levels compared to control (10-12% and 31-38% applying to the 1st and 2nd individual). - CACNA2D3 mRNA levels in fibroblasts from the 2nd patient were 2-7x higher compared to the 1st or controls suggesting a possible compensatory effect. CACNA2D2/4 mRNA levels were too low for quantification. - Gly209 lies within the gabapentin and amino-acid binding pocket and this residue is invariable in CACNA2D1/CACNA2D2 in all vertebrates and paralogs. - Transfection of tsA-201 cells with either WT or G209D HA-tagged α2δ revealed reduced cell surface expression for this missense variant (~80, for biotinylated form ~86%). - In tsA-201 cells transfected with HA-tagged Cav2.2/β1b and either α2δ-1-WT, no α2δ-1 or α2δ-1-G209D, WT resulted in increased 13x currents with no increase applying to G209D (or in absence of α2δ). Plasma membrane expression of double (GFP/HA) tagged Cav2.2 was increased upon co-expression with WT α2δ-1 which was not the case for α2δ-1-G209D. - In hippocampal neurons, double (GFP/HA)-tagged Cav2.2 could not be detected at the cell surface in the presence of α2δ-1-G209D (or no α2δ) in contrast with strong expression in presence of α2δ-1-WT. α2δ-1-G209D did not promote trafficking of Cav2.2 into hippocampal neurites, as indicated by reduced signals for both HA and GFP (for cell surface and total Cav2.2 respectively). - Co-expression of double (GFP/HA) tagged Cav2.2 with β1b and either HA-α2δ-1-WT or HA-α2δ-1-G209D in tsA-201 cells, revealed reduced complex formation of G209D with Cav2.2 Co-immunoprecipitated HA-α2δ-1-G209D had higher molecular weight compared to HA-α2δ-1-WT which suggests that α2δ-1-G209D remains as the uncleaved immature form (probably in the ER). Mouse model (several Refs in text): Mild cardiac phenotype and reduced ventricular myocyte Ca current density was observed in hmz ko mice. Similarly to the insensibility to pain human phenotype, mice had delayed neuropathic pain-related responses. Overexpression of a2δ-1 resulted in epileptiform EEG and behavioral arrest, overall supporting a critical role of α2δ-1 for mouse brain. The authors underscore that the parents of both patients (htz carriers) were healthy and review previous literature for association of monoallelic variants with epilepsy, ID and arrhythmogenic disorders (in suppl.) [Refs not here reviewed]. As for the NDD phenotype, CACNA2D1 is within a previously defined small region of overlap for 7q21.11 microdeletions associated with ID+/-epilepsy. The same study did not reveal de novo SNVs in any of the 3 contained genes within this SRO (HGF, CACNA2D1, PCLO) in 4293 patients with NDD [cited PMID: 28240412]. A frameshift variant (c.2625del) was identified in a 13-yo girl with infantile spasms and normal intelligence [cited PMID: 25877686]. A 1-bp insertion (c.659-2_659-1insT / not studied at the mRNA level) was identified in another 14-yo female with ID and epilepsy [cited PMID: 34356170]. The authors state that the phenotype (/differences) of these individuals as well as presence of pLoF CACNA2D1 variants in gnomAD [still pLI of 1] put in question pathogenicity of monoallelic variants for these phenotypes. The role of heterozygous missense variants described in relation to arrhythmogenic disorders is also discussed extensively (some downgraded to LB/VUS, others having a relatively high MAF and presence of 1-2 homozygotes in gnomAD). [2] ---- In an article cited by SysID for CACNA2D1 (2017 - PMID: 28097321), Reuter et al studied with WES and autozygosity mapping individuals with NDD belonging to consanguineous families. As in eTables1/3, a male - single affected individual born to consanguineous parents from Turkey (MR150) - was investigated by singleton ES. This individual was homozygous for a missense CACNA2D1 SNV [NM_000722.2:c.1514C>T;p.(Thr505Ile)]. Prior investigations are unavailable (although individuals with previously known P/LP CNVs were excluded). The phenotype - briefly reported - included hypotonia, severe ID, stereotypic behaviors, inguinal hernia and omphalocele. Presence of seizures was not commented on. The age of this individual was not reported. Sources: Literature, Other |

| Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v3.1518 | CPSF3 |
Konstantinos Varvagiannis gene: CPSF3 was added gene: CPSF3 was added to Intellectual disability. Sources: Literature Mode of inheritance for gene: CPSF3 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: CPSF3 were set to 35121750 Phenotypes for gene: CPSF3 were set to Failure to thrive; Abnormal muscle tone; Global developmental delay; Intellectual disability; Microcephaly; Seizures Penetrance for gene: CPSF3 were set to Complete Review for gene: CPSF3 was set to AMBER Added comment: Arnadottir (2022 - PMID: 35121750) describe the phenotype associated with biallelic CPSF3 pathogenic variants. Based on WGS of 56,969 Icelanders and imputing the genotype of another 153,054 chip-genotyped Icelanders, the authors identified missense variants with a deficit of homozygous carriers to what would be expected based on AF. (For variants with MAF>0.4%, for which >=3 hmz carriers would be expected by H-W equilibrium, no identified hmz carriers within this cohort/dataset). A total of 114 such missense variants was identified. 5 of these SNVs, among which a CPSF3 one (NM_016207.3:c.1403G>A / p.Gly468Glu), were however observed in a series of 764 individuals investigated with clinical WGS at the National University Hospital. The CPSF3 variant with a MAF of 0.41% (3 hmz expected but none observed in the population set) was found in homozygosity in 2 closely related individuals, both investigated for FTT, severe DD, ID, microcephaly, seizures but remaining unresolved following WGS with no other candidate variants. Using genealogical information from the db of deCODE genetics, the authors identified 3 couples from the 153k genotyped Icelanders where both partners were htz carriers for this SNV. These 3 couples had 10 offspring, 4 of whom deceased but with the same phenotypic features as above (hypotonia 4/4, ID 4/4, seizures 3/4, microcephaly 2/4). Paraffin embedded samples of 2 of these children and WG & Sanger sequencing confirmed hmz for Gly468Glu in 2 sibs, without other candidate variants. Samples of the 2 other individuals were N/A. Through GeneMatcher 2 additional first-cousin patients from Mexico were identified, being hmz for another CPSF3 variant (c.1061T>C/p.Ile354Thr) and having overlapping phenotype of abnormal muscle tone, ID, seizures and microcephaly. There were no other variants in WES analysis. mRNA studies in WBCs from Gly468Glu htz carriers did not reveal reduced levels and W.Blot of lymphocytes from a hmz individual confirmed expression, overall suggesting that the variant does not affect the protein levels but presumably the function. CPSF3 encodes cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 3, a 684 aa protein, subunit of the cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor compex. As discussed, cleavage and polyadenylation of the 3' of pre-mRNAs is necessary before transport out of the nucleus with CPSF playing a crucial role in the process of cleavage. CPSF3 ko mice exhibit embryonic lethality, while in yeast mutations in key residues of the CPSF3 homolog are lethal. In gnomAD, CPSF3 has a pLI of 0, z-score of 3.61 with no homozygotes for pLoF variants in 141k individuals (or ~57k WGS Icelanders). The 2 missense variants concerned highly conserved residues (GERP ~5.8). Both are hypothesized to affect the ability of the protein to bind other factors involved in pre-mRNA cleavage. Overall the authors speculate that not only complete loss of CPSF3 would result in drastic phenotypic effects - as in the murine model - but also variants altering its enzymatic function. There is currently no CPSF3-related phenotype in OMIM, G2P, SysID, The gene is included with green rating in the ID, epilepsy and microcephaly panels in PanelApp Australia. Consider inclusion probably with amber rating (Highly consistent phenotype, biological function, evidence from animal models. 2 identified variants, authors state that follow-up functional studies are needed). Also consider inclusion in other possibly relevant panels. Sources: Literature |

Konstantinos Varvagiannis gene: FAM160B1 was added gene: FAM160B1 was added to Intellectual disability. Sources: Literature Mode of inheritance for gene: FAM160B1 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: FAM160B1 were set to 27431290; 31353455 Phenotypes for gene: FAM160B1 were set to Central hypotonia; Global developmental delay; Intellectual disability; Abnormality of the face Penetrance for gene: FAM160B1 were set to Complete Review for gene: FAM160B1 was set to AMBER Added comment: Anazi et al. (2017 - PMID: 27431290) in a study of 337 subjects with ID, reported on a consanguineous family (15DG2696) with 3 affected sibs. The proband, a 7 y.o. boy had hypotonia, DD, mild ID (IQ of 69), some facial dysmorphic features as well as increased skin elasticity and joint hypermobility. Initial investigations included metabolic testing for OA and CDGs, FMR1 and aCGH. A 4 y.o. sister and a 3 y.o. brother of the proband had similar presentation of DD. Exome sequencing, autozygosity mapping and segregation studies suggested a FAM160B1 hmz missense SNV as the likely causal variant (NM_001135051.1:c.248T>C or p.Leu83Pro). There were no other candidate variants. As the encoded protein has a yet unknown function, with uncertain in silico 3D modeling, the authors speculated disruption of helices affecting fold/(ligand binding) function as the underlying effect of this variant. Mavioğlu et al. (2019 - PMID: 31353455) reported on a 38 y.o. female with history of motor and language delay, severe ID, ataxia, behavioral abrnormalities as well as some dysmorphic features. This individual was born to consanguineous parents (2nd cousins). There was history of a deceased, similarly affected sib. Initial investigations included metabolic work-up (plasma AA, urinary OA) and karyotyping. SNP genotyping in the family (parents, affected sib, 3 unaffected sibs) and multipoint linkage analysis for AR inheritance, yielded a maximum LOD score of 2.15. Selection of homozygous regions unique to the patient (but not present in unaffected sibs) did not suggest any known ID gene. Exome sequencing of the proband, with analysis of the variants in candidate regions revealed a homozygous stopgain SNV (NM_020940.4:c.115G>T or p.Glu39*) as the best candidate variant (with few others not considered to be relevant). FAM160B1 has a pLI of 1, LoF variants in public databases have MAFs below 0.000034 with no recorded homozygotes. In silico predictions suggested a deleterious effect (CADD score of 40, etc). The previous report by Anazi and fulfilment of the ACMG criteria for its classification of this variant as pathogenic led to its consideration as causal of the patient's phenotype. Study of the expression of the 2 isoforms of the gene (isoform1: NM_020940, 2:NM_001135051) revealed that the first is ubiquitously expressed and the second only in testes. [To my understanding the 2 isoforms seem to differ only in their last exon, the 2 reported variants affecting both isoforms - http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&lastVirtModeType=default&lastVirtModeExtraState=&virtModeType=default&virtMode=0&nonVirtPosition=&position=chr10%3A116577123%2D116663023&hgsid=777553295_dPP9DgaheaF82gTRTfZO6XS5lEzA ] The function of this gene remains unknown. Animal models/phenotypes are probably not available. There is no associated phenotype in OMIM/G2P. SysID lists FAM160B1 as a candidate ID gene. FAM160B1 is not commonly included in gene panels for ID offered by diagnostic laboratories. As a result this gene can be considered for inclusion in the current panel probably with amber (2 families/variants, variable ID as a feature) or red rating pending further evidence (given the partial phenotypic overlap, unknown function of the gene, variants not further studied, no animal models).

| Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v2.953 | PIGB |
Konstantinos Varvagiannis gene: PIGB was added gene: PIGB was added to Intellectual disability. Sources: Literature Mode of inheritance for gene: PIGB was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: PIGB were set to 31256876 Phenotypes for gene: PIGB were set to Generalized hypotonia; Global developmental delay; Intellectual disability; Seizures; Hearing abnormality; Abnormality of vision; Elevated alkaline phosphatase; Abnormality of the head; Abnormality of the hand; Abnormality of the foot Penetrance for gene: PIGB were set to Complete Review for gene: PIGB was set to GREEN Added comment: Murakami et al. (2019 - PMID: 31256876) provide detailed information on 14 individuals from 10 families (4 of which consanguineous) with biallelic pathogenic PIGB variants. Overlapping features included DD/ID (13/13), epilepsy (14/14), deafness (7/14), ophthalmological or brain anomalies, hand and feet anomalies as well as presence of dysmorphic features. ID was common, in those individuals with appropriate age. Some had a previous diagnosis of DOORS syndrome (deafness/onychodystrophy/osteodystrophy,retardation, seizures) and few showed 2-oxoglutatic aciduria which can also be seen in DOORS s. PIGB encodes phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class B protein. Overall the phenotype was similar to other inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) deficiencies (IGDs). As happens to be the case in some other GPI deficiencies alkaline phosphatase was also elevated in those tested (8/9). 8 missense, 1 stopgain as well as an intronic SNV are reported. All variants were either absent or ultra-rare and with no homozygotes in gnomAD. Affected individuals from 4 families, harbored an intronic SNV in the homozygous state. For this variant - with MAF of 0.0001592 or 6.51x10-5 in ExAC and gnomAD - activation of an aberrant splice acceptor site was shown [NM_004855.4:c.847-10A>G or p.Gln282_Trp283insArgCysGln]. Flow cytometric analysis of blood cells or fibroblasts showed decreased levels for various GPI-AP (GPI-anchored protein) markers in affected individuals. These levels were rescued upon transduction with a PIGB-encoding-Lx304 lentiviral vector of fibroblasts from one affected individual, suggesting that the PIGB defect was responsible. The effect of the variants was evaluated using PIGB-deficient CHO cells, transfected with wt or mutant PIGB cDNAs. FACS analysis and immunoblotting demonstrated that variants were able to restore only slightly/partially - if at all - the surface presence of GPI-APs in the case of variants while the levels of mutant protein were reduced. PIGB is not associated with any phenotype in OMIM/G2P. This gene is not commonly included in gene panels for ID offered by diagnostic laboratories. As a result, this gene can be considered for inclusion in the ID and epilepsy panels probably as green (or amber). Sources: Literature |

| Intellectual disability - microarray and sequencing v2.584 | PTRHD1 |
Konstantinos Varvagiannis gene: PTRHD1 was added gene: PTRHD1 was added to Intellectual disability. Sources: Literature,Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen Mode of inheritance for gene: PTRHD1 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: PTRHD1 were set to 30398675; 27134041; 29143421; 27753167 Phenotypes for gene: PTRHD1 were set to Parkinsonism; Intellectual disability Penetrance for gene: PTRHD1 were set to Complete Review for gene: PTRHD1 was set to AMBER gene: PTRHD1 was marked as current diagnostic Added comment: 7 individuals with biallelic PTRHD1 mutations from 3 pedigrees have been reported. The phenotype in all consisted of early-onset Parkinsonism with intellectual disability (overview in Table 1 - PMID: 30398675). Jaberi et al. (PMID: 27134041) first reported on 2 sibs born to consanguineous Iranian parents. Both presented with parkinsonism with ID. After homozygosity mapping and exome sequencing, one variant in PTRHD1 (NM_001013663.1:c.155G>A or p.Cys52Tyr) as well as another variant in ADORA1 were the only candidates for the patients phenotype. At the time, the authors favored ADORA1 as the causative gene for their patients' phenotype but could not exclude pathogenicity of PTRHD1. Khodadadi et al. (PMID: 27753167) published on 2 additional sibs from Iran with a similar phenotype. These individuals - born to consanguineous parents - were homozygous for a further PTRHD1 missense variant (p.His53Tyr) which is proximal to the variant reported by Jaberi et al. This led the authors of the first publication to acknowledge that PTRHD1 was probably responsible for their patients' phenotype (PMID: 29143421). [A recent study of exome sequencing data of a Parkinson disease 1214-patient cohort failed to find any case explained by biallelic ADORA1 mutations - PMID: 27987235]. The variants reported in these 2 publications are classified as VUS in OMIM (last update : 02/23/2017). Kuipers et al. (PMID: 30398675) report on 3 additional individuals of African origin with identical phenotype. These individuals, whose parents originated from an isolated african community, were homozygous for a frameshift PTRHD1 deletion (c.169_196del or p.Ala57Argfs*26). This variant is rare in gnomAD (MAF of 0.018% overall or 0.15% in the African subpopulation). Alternative causes of PD / parkinsonism were previously excluded. The phenotype of all reported individuals is summarized in Table 1 of this article. PTRHD1 is not assocated with any phenotype in OMIM nor in G2P. This gene is included in the gene panel for ID, offered by Radboudumc. Therefore, this gene can be considered for inclusion in this panel as amber or green. [Please consider inclusion of this gene in the Parkinson Disease and Complex Parkinsonism gene panel]. Sources: Literature, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen |
