Added comment: Carapito et al. (doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2018.12.007 - PMID to add) report on 19 individuals with variants affecting ZMIZ1 (alternative symbols RAI17/KIAA1224/ZIMP10).

Features included DD/ID (19/19), feeding difficulties, growth failure, microcephaly and variable congenital malformations. Seizures were noted in 3 unrelated individuals (with different variants).

Variants included 6 missense SNVs, 5 frameshift variants, 1 splice site variant, 1 synonymous variant with probable impact on splicing (not studied) and 2 translocations.

In all individuals for whom parental studies were possible (n=16), the variants had occurred as de novo events while for 3 sibs harboring a frameshift variant parental samples were unavailable. These subjects however harbored the same variant as a DDD study participant included in the current report.

One translocation disrupted only ZMIZ1 while a second [t(X;10)] did not disrupt the coding sequence of any gene but only a distal enhancer 276 kb upstream of ZMIZ1. A previous study had found recurrent SNVs of the same region in ASD subjects and suggested possible interaction with the ZMIZ1 promoter (Liu et al. - PMID: 29754769).

The deleterious effect of both translocations was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR. For 4 missense SNVs as well as a splice variant mRNA levels were similar to controls. The splice site (-2) variant was shown to produce 2 new splicing isoforms from utilization of alternative splice site acceptors.

ZMIZ1 belongs to the PIAS-like family of transcriptional coregulators.

Five missense variants were located in an alanine rich domain (aa 280-305). Seven other variants were predicted to shorten or remove the C-terminal transactivation domain.

This gene enhances - among others - the transcriptional activity of androgen receptor (AR). In vitro studies using HEK293T cell lines supported impaired coactivation of the AR for 3 variants studied. In utero electroporation of pathogenic variants in mouse embryos (E14.5) led to impaired neuronal positioning of the electroporated neurons and disruption of the morphology/polarization.

As the authors note previous studies have shown expression of Zimp10 in the developing mouse brain, craniofacial tissue as well as the interdigital region of limbs (PMIDs cited : 18053775 and 17967885) in line with ID, facial phenotype and syndactyly observed in some patients.

Finally the authors cite a previous report on an individual with ID due to a translocation [t(10;19)] disrupting both ZMIZ1 and PRR12 (Córdova-Fletes al. - PMID: 26163108). Although disruption of ZMIZ1 is discussed as a cause, PRR12 has recently been proposed as (also) an ID gene (Leduc et al. - PMID: 29556724). [For details see PRR12 in the current panel].
------------
One of the variants found in 2 unrelated individuals in the aforementioned study [NM_020338.3:c.899C>T or p.(T300M)] has been reported in a further individual investigated for ID in the context of a bigger cohort (Lelieveld et al. - PMID: 27479843).

------------
ZMIZ1 is not associated with any phenotype in OMIM, nor in G2P.
This gene has been included in gene panels for intellectual disability offered by some diagnostic laboratories.
------------
As a result, ZMIZ1 can be considered for inclusion in the ID panel as green.

Added comment: PMID: 29556724 (Leduc et al. 2018) reports on 3 unrelated individuals with de novo pathogenic variants in PRR12. The common phenotype consisted of DD/ID (3/3), iris anomalies (colobomas in 2/3 with stellate iris patern in all) as well as additional vision problems and behavioral anomalies.

3 different loss-of-function variants are reported. These variants affected the longer transcript (Ensembl ENST00000418929.6 or NM_020719 - short : ENST00000615927.1) with a single one affecting both.

PRR12 appears to be intolerant to loss-of-function muatations (pLI of 1). Some LoF variants exist in ExAC/gnomAD although the majority appear to be low-quality variants.

As commented by the authors 2 individuals with de novo variants exist in Decipher (1 in-frame deletion and a missense SNV - both variants appear in fig.2 of the article) [a few more DDD study participants in the denovo-db all from PMID: 28135719 : http://denovo-db.gs.washington.edu/denovo-db/QueryVariantServlet?searchBy=Gene&target=PRR12].

Alternative explanations for the phenotype (eg. CHARGE syndrome, etc) were ruled out in many individuals in the article.

Functional studies have not been performed. //

PMID: 26163108 (Córdova-Fletes al. 2015) is a previous report cited by Leduc et al. One individual with balanced translocation [t(10;19)] with disruption of PRR12 is described. This individual presented with ID and behavioral anomalies (without details on eventual coloboma or other iris anomalies).

The translocation was balanced and led to fusion of PRR12 with LMIZ1. The breakpoint was located within intron 11 (PRR12 is a 14-exon gene) with fusion of PRR12 exon 11 with ZMIZ1 exon 8 upon RT-PCR. Both PRR12/ZMIZ1 products were predicted to be truncated due to frameshift and introduction of premature stop codon.

[Surprisingly qPCR and Western blot in patient LCLs were suggestive of increased PRR12 expression compared to controls suggesting either a compensation mechanism or longer half-life/accumulation of the aberrant PRR12].

Expression of wt PRR12 was highest during embryonic development in mouse/rat brain cells suggesting a role in early CNS development. The transcript studied (corresponding to the longest human transcript) was exclusively located in the nucleus compared to a shorter one located primary in the nucleus but also outside suggesting that PRR12 might be involved in regulation of transcription.

In line with this several genes linked to neurodevelopmental processes/neuronal communication appeared be dysregulated in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from the translocation patient.

A role for ZMIZ1 is similarly discussed. //

PRR12 is included in gene panels for ID offered by diagnostic laboratories. //

As a result, this gene can be considered for inclusion in this panel as green (or amber).
