Added comment: PMIDs 30239107 and 30475435 report on 5 cases of de novo truncating ODC1 variants in unrelated families. One concerned a stillborn male. The 4 remaining individuals presented with a similar phenotype consisting of alopecia and other ectodermal anomalies, DD/ID, relative or absolute macrocephaly and common facial features. DD/ID was severe in some instances and many of these individuals had extensive prior testing for other disorders (Fragile-X, PTEN, SLC2A1, chromosomal disorders, etc).

ODC1 (ornithine decarboxylase 1) converts enzymatically ornithine to putrescine. All variants reported to date are truncating but lead to gain-of-function. Specifically they affect a 37 amino acid c-terminal destabilization region critical for the degradation of ODC1 and - as a result - lead to increased levels of ODC1 as well as putrescine.

A mouse model with identical phenotype has been described several years ago.

The role of ODC inhibitors is extensively discussed in both publications.

As a result, ODC1 can be considered for inclusion in the ID panel as green (or amber).
