Although phenotype caused by biallelic MGP variants are already reported in both OMIM (MIM #245150) and Gene2Phenotype, phenotype caused by monoallelic variants are not yet reported in either resources.
Skeletal dysplasia v4.32 UBA2 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: UBA2: As reviewer notes there are now additional cases reported with variants in UBA2 and skeletal defects including:

PMID: 34040189 - Schnur et al 2021 - report 16 individuals from 7 families who have variable phenotypes including Aplasia cutis congenita and skeletal defects. Ectrodyctly is present in some individuals from 4/7 families and other skeletal phenotypes such as hip abnormalities, plagiocephaly, Wormian bones, syndactyly, kyphoscoliosis, Variants were heterozygous rare variants not found in GnomAD and consist of frameshift, nonsense and missense variants.

Added comment: In this study, the authors uncovered a phenotypic dichotomy in eight individuals from seven unrelated families with different types of ERI1 variants and highlighted the association of missense variants with spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD), which is a group of skeletal diseases characterized by anomalies in spine and long tubular bones.In contrast, the affected individuals with bi-allelic null variants showed mild intellectual disability and digital anomalies. The detailed evaluation of the skeletal phenotypes of Eri1 knockout (KO) mice and the in vitro chondrogenesis of affected-individual-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) supported the functional involvement of ERI1 in skeletal development. Analyses using ERI1 KO HeLa cells
and affected-individual-derived cells demonstrated functional conservation of ERI1 with its mouse ortholog in 5.8S rRNA maturation and histone mRNAs decay. The 5.8S
rRNA maturation is involved in ribosome biogenesis, defects of which are known to cause ribosomopathies characterized by skeletal dysplasia.12–15 Our study leads to the findings of an SEMD associated with ribosomopathy and established a framework for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the ERI1 phenotypic dichotomy.

Missense variants reported to affect residues 134,150, 155, 298 and 299. All cases with biallelic missense variants had short stature, epiphyseal, spinal and digit anomalies, as well as other variable kidney and cardiac anomalies. One case with a LOF and a missense was reported with these features and intellectual disability/developmental delay. The 3 cases with biallelic LOF variants had ID/DD, digital anomalies without the other (height varied from 8th centile to normal).

Added comment: Comment on gene classification: This gene should be rated GREEN as it has been associated with Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Shohat type from seven unrelated cases from multiple ethnicities and supported by functional studies.

PMID:28263186 reported six individuals from three different families of Iraqi Jewish descent (three patients from family 1 and one individual each from families 2-4) identified with homozygous c.408+1G>A donor splice site loss-of-function mutation in DDRGK1 and presented with Shohat-type spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD). It is a skeletal dysplasia that affects cartilage development.

PMID: 35670300 reported two unrelated cases of Moroccan descent identified with homozygous missense variant c.406G>A and presented with SEMD. PMID:36243336 reported an Omani female patient identified with the same homozygous variant as the Iraqi cases and was reported with SEMD.

In addition, studies on both zebrafish and mouse models confirms the physiological role of DDRGK1 in the development and maintenance of the growth plate cartilage and deficiency of DDRGK1 recapitulate the clinical phenotype of short stature and joint abnormalities observed in patients with Shohat type SEMD (PMID:28263186; PMID:35377455).

Added comment: A recent paper has shown that heterozygous missense variants in the active site cause a disorder of glycosylation associated with short stature and skeletal defects in a majority of individuals. The gene is already green on the ID panel for AR condition but new review has been added to change to AD as well. The recessive disorder associated with this gene in primarily neurological so this inheritance model is not relevant in the context of skeletal dysplasia

ARCN1 is associated with a relevant phenotype in OMIM (MIM# 617164) which is characterised by rhizomelic short stature. At least 6 individuals from 5 unrelated families reported in literature (PMIDs: 27476655; 31075182; 33154040), which is sufficient to rate this gene as Green at the next GMS panel update.

Review for gene: LRRK1 was set to GREEN
Added comment: A detailed phenotypic picture of Osteosclerotic metaphyseal dysplasia (OSMD) in patients with LRRK1 variants can be seen in table 1 of Howaldt et al (2020).

Lida et al (2016) identified homozygous deletion that is predicted to result in elongation of protein (p.E1980Afs*66) in a child with OSMD. Child was born to consanguineous parents, both heterozygous for variant.

Guo et al (2017) identified a family with OSMD. Healthy, non-consanguineous parents have two children with OSMD that are homozygous for 1bp insertion in LRRK1 that is predicted to result in a frame-shift and produce an elongated protein (p.A1991Gfs*31) without nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. A similar effect seen in Lida et al (2016).

Howaldt et al (2020) shows a patient with a homozygous splice site mutation resulting in near complete skipping of exon 3 in cDNA leading to a frameshift (p.Ala34Profs*33). The variant segregated with disorder in the family with parents being heterozygous for the variant and clinically unaffected.

Miryounesi et al (2020) identified a patient with suspected OSMD from healthy, consanguineous parents. Patient is homozygous for stop gain mutation (c.2785G > T, p.E929X) in LRRK1. Parents are heterozygous for the variant.

Homozygous nonsense variant in LRRK1 also identified in an individual recruited to the 100,000 genomes project for skeletal dysplasia, Osteosclerotic metaphyseal dysplasia is considered a good fit for phenotype.

LRRK1 gene should be included in the skeletal dysplasia panel as a green gene at the next GMS panel update.

Added comment: Three unrelated families reported (though two shown to be related by descent) with predominantly a skeletal phenotype comprising mesomelic shortening and deformation of the lower limbs due to severe hypoplasia of the tibia and fibula. This was accompanied by abnormalities of the digits of the hands and feet, with cutaneous and osseous syndactyly as well as dysplastic, missing, and/or volar nails. In addition, genitourinary anomalies were observed in some.

Homozygous deletions identified in all, with the minimal deleted region being a 27-kb interval (chr2: 118,561,492-118,589,320) located approximately 300 kb upstream of the EN1 gene.

Mouse model recapitulated the phenotype.

An additional fourth individual had cerebellar hypoplasia in addition to the skeletal phenotype, and a bi-allelic LoF variant.

Added comment: PMID: 33276377 - Martin et al 2020 - report 13 affected individuals from 7 unrelated families identified through various different cohort analysis (vertebral malformation, renal hypodysplasia, syndromic esophageal atresia, multiple congenital anomalies) in whom a WBP11 heterozygous variant is considered the top causative candidate. 5 identified variants were predicted to be protein truncating whilst the 6th was a missense variant. All variants are absent from population databases. In family 1, the variant was inherited from the apparently unaffected mother, indicating reduced penetrance, and phenotypic variance within families was observed. Phenotypes covered cardiac, vertebral, renal, craniofacial and gastrointestinal systems. At least at least 5 of the patients affected had features in three component organs so can be considered a VACTERL association. Wbp11 heterozygous null mice had vertebral and renal anomalies.

Vertebral anomalies were noted in 6/13 patients from 5 families. One patient had congenital scoliosis and one abnormalities of the right upper ribs. Genomics England clinical team suggest it just meets the threshold for the skeletal dysplasia panel.

Added comment: SMAD6 is frequently mutated in non-syndromic radioulnar synostosis.Using exome seq the authors found 16 LOF and 6 rare missense variants in sporadic cases, which was a highly significant association. The findings were replicated in a different cohort. Four cases had de novo variants and others were inherited in a dominant fashion.
SMAD6 LOF variants have also been shown to be enriched in mid-line craniosynostosis and in certain cardiac disorders. It isn't yet clear if a variant can cause different phenotypes in the same family or combinations of these phenotypes in the same individual. Genotype-phenotype correlation is not understood.
This gene is currently tested diagnostically in cases of mid-line craniosynostosis and is green on panel R100.

Other features affected individuals had were muscular hypotonia, hypoplasia/agenesis of corpus callosum, skeletal abnormalities, uni/bilateral renal agenesis (2/3) and craniofacial dysmorphism. After consulting the Genomics England Clinical Team, it was decided that this gene should be added to this panel with an Amber rating. The skeletal phenotype is relatively mild and the GMS specialist group should review whether this gene is appropriate for this panel.

PMID: 30773277 - Burrage et al 2019 - identified, using WES or Sanger sequencing, compound heterozygous variants in TONSL in 9 individuals (8 families) with SPONASTRIME dysplasia. 4 other probands with SPONASTRIME dysplasia did not have biallelic variants in TONSL or in MMS22L, but two of them did have a single heterozygous variants in TONSL. The authors say they cannot exclude deep intronic, promotor variants or large intragenic rearrangements/deletions in these patients. An additional 4 individuals (3 families) with short stature of varied severity and spondylometaphyseal dysplasia with or without immunologic and hematologic abnormalities were also found to have compound heterozygous variants in TONSL.

PMID: 30773278 - Chang et al 2019 - Using WES they identified homozygous or compound heterozygous TONSL variants in 10 of 13 individuals (9 families) with SPONASTRIME dysplasia.

PMID: 32959051 - Micale et al 2020 - report a 9-year-old Italian girl with typical SPONASTRIME dysplasia who was found to have two novel missense variants in TONSL. Each parent was heterozygous for one of the variants. Both variants were found to be very rare in the gnomad database. Patient-derived fibroblasts show increased levels of spontaneous chromosomal breaks, reduced cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis.

Review from Zornitza Stark on the Lipodystrophy - childhood onset:
"Seven individuals from 5 unrelated families reported with severe progeroid form of MAD with growth retardation, small viscerocranium with mandibular underdevelopment, distal acro-osteolyses, lipodystrophy, altered skin pigmentation, renal focal glomerulosclerosis, and extremely severe hypertension in most cases, eventually associated with disseminated arterial calcification. Loss of MTX2 in patients' primary fibroblasts led to loss of Metaxin-1 (MTX1) and mitochondrial dysfunction, including network fragmentation and oxidative phosphorylation impairment. Furthermore, patients' fibroblasts were resistant to induced apoptosis, leading to increased cell senescence and mitophagy and reduced proliferation. Sources: Literature

Added comment: - PMID: 33106379 (2020) - Distinct homozygous variants in PRKG2 identified in two unrelated individuals, both with a skeletal dysplasia associated with severe short stature due to acromesomelic limb shortening, brachydactyly, mild to moderate platyspondyly and progressively increasing metaphyseal alterations of the long bones.

Functional studies showed both variants result in NMD and disrupt the downstream MAPK signalling pathway in response to FGF2. The role of cGKII, encoded by PRKG2, in skeletal growth has been established in several animal models (references provided in paper).

PMID: 31263216 (2019) - In two sets of brothers from unrelated consanguineous families, sequencing revealed homozygosity for a 10-bp deletion (c.904-12_904-3delCTATCACCAC) in the PISD gene. The patients presented with Liberfarb syndrome, characterised by skeletal dysplasia, short stature, early-onset retinal degeneration, developmental delay, microcephaly, and hearing loss. Authors noted phenotypic overlap with another previously described case (PMID: 3561949 (1986)), prompting follow-up investigation using paraffin-embedded tissue which yielded an identical homozygous variant. Haplotype analysis indicated a founder effect between all five individuals.

PMID: 30858161 (2019) - Two sisters with progressive short stature, skeletal dysplasia, white matter abnormalities, congenital cataracts, sensorineural hearing loss, and mild global developmental delay, associated with compound heterozygous variants (c.830G>A and c.697+5G>A) in the PISD gene.

PMID: 30488656 (2019) - Two unrelated individuals with an 'unclassifiable' form of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, as well as short stature, microcephaly, mild facial dysmorphism. Vision, hearing, and psychomotor development were reported to be normal for both patients. WES identified the same homozygous missense variant (c.797G>A) in PISD in both patients. Analysis revealed a common haplotype, which indicated remote consanguinity. Supporting functional data using patient-derived fibroblasts.

Skeletal dysplasia v1.340 ALX1 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: ALX1: This gene is provisionally associated with ?Frontonasal dysplasia 3 (#613456) in OMIM. Has a confirmed association with FRONTONASAL DYSPLASIA TYPE 3 in Gene2Phenotype.

PMID: 20451171 - Uz et al. (2010) - 2 families presenting with autosomal-recessive frontonasal dysplasia (FND) characterized by bilateral extreme microphthalmia, bilateral oblique facial cleft, complete cleft palate, hypertelorism, wide nasal bridge with hypoplasia of the ala nasi, and low-set, posteriorly rotated ears in two distinct families. In one family they found a three siblings were affected, and CNV analysis of the critical region showed a homozygous 3.7 Mb deletion containing the ALX1 (CART1) gene. In the second family a homozygous donor-splice-site mutation (c.531+1G > A) in the ALX1 gene was found.

PMID: 27324866 - Ullah et al 2017 - report a consanguineous family from Pakistan with four individuals presenting a milder form of Frontonasal dysplasia. Using exome sequencing, a homozygous splice acceptor site variant has been identified in the ALX1 gene. The affected individuals had ptosis (drooping upper eyelid), small and upslanting palpebral fissures, blepharophimosis, broad nasal root, wide prominent nasal bridge, short and wide nasal ridge, broad columella, smooth philtrum, and mouth protrusion accompanied by teeth protrusion NOTE: no clefting reported in the individuals from this family.

PMID: 26610632 - Lyons et al 2015 - The “Contemporary” Burmese lineage of cats has a more brachycephalic head type. Offspring from “Contemporary” style mating produced a craniofacial defect in 25% of offspring (Noden and Evans, 1986; Sponenberg and Graf-Webster, 1986). The abnormality is characterized by agenesis of all derivatives of the medial nasal prominence; lateral duplication of most derivatives of the maxillary process; including the canine teeth and whiskers fields; telencephalic meningoencephalocele; and secondary ocular degeneration . The midline facial defect is autosomal recessive, however, carriers of the mutation are more brachycephalic individuals than wildtype, The entire ALX1 CDS sequence was analyzed in ten cats, including five affected Burmese and five controls. A 12 bp deletion (c.496delCTCTCAGGACTG) was identified in the coding region of ALX1. All the unaffected cats in the pedigree were confirmed to be homozygous wild-type or carrier of the 12 bp deletion while all the affected cats were homozygous for the identified variant. The average CDS homology between human and cat is 93.8% and the protein identity is 97.5%.

PMID: 27666822 - Duran et al 2016 - 2 cases. Family 1 - male infant (R98-443) with features consistent with Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD). The radiographic abnormalities included midface hypoplasia, dolichocephaly, a prominent occiput , short ribs, handlebar clavicles and short, curved appendicular bones, with the upper limbs particularly abnormally shaped. There was no polydactyly on either the hands or feet. They identified compound heterozygosity for two variants: p.Leu29Phe and p.Arg512*. Family 2 - fetus (R13-147A) suspected to have SRPS by prenatal ultrasonography. Postnatal radiographs showed dolichocephaly, a prominent occiput, midface hypoplasia, a very small thorax with shortened horizontal ribs, markedly short long bones with rounded metaphyses and marked hypoplasia of the radii, ulnae, tibiae and fibulae. Other radiographic features included small iliac bones and postaxial polydactyly of all extremities. They identified compound heterozygosity for variants in IFT81: p.Leu262 and p.Leu435del). Cultured chondrocytes from one patient showed decreased levels of transcript. Mutant cells produced elongated cilia, had altered hedgehog signaling, had increased post-translation modification of tubulin, and showed evidence of destabilization of additional anterograde transport complex components

PMID: 26275418 - Perrault et al 2015 - identified a homozygous mutation in IFT81 affecting an obligatory donor splice site in an individual with nephronophthisis and polydactyly (c.1188+1G-A). The variant has been classified as a VUS in OMIM as its contribution to nephronophthisis-related ciliopathy has not be confirmed. Only candidate gene sequencing of IFT-B complex proteins was found. A variant in IFT81 (c.2015_2019delACCGG) was also found in a second unrelated child with retinal dystrophy and intellectual disability (no skeletal phenotype) suggestive of a ciliopathy however 9 additional rare homozygous variants were found and so this variant has also been classified as a VUS in OMIM.

PMID: 30080953 - Pettersson et al 2018 - a homozygous tandem duplication of exon 9 and 10 in IFT81 in a boy with Jeune syndrome, or short-rib thoracic dysplasia (SRTD). The duplication was predicted to disrupt the ORF and cause a truncation of the peptide sequence. He had narrow thorax, short arms, brachydactyly and short stature. Western blot analysis did not detect any wild-type IFT81 protein in fibroblasts from the patient with the IFT81 duplication, but only a shorter isoform of IFT81 that was also present in the normal control samples.

Summary - 2 cases with SNVs and strong skeletal phenotype, one with some functional data. 3rd case with polydactyly the only skeletal component of the phenotype. 4th case with tandem duplication of 2 exons. ; to: Associated with Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 19 with or without polydactyly (#617895) in OMIM

The duplication was predicted to disrupt the ORF and cause a truncation of the peptide sequence. He had narrow thorax, short arms, brachydactyly and short stature. Western blot analysis did not detect any wild-type IFT81 protein in fibroblasts from the patient with the IFT81 duplication, but only a shorter isoform of IFT81 that was also present in the normal control samples.

Summary - 2 cases with SNVs and strong skeletal phenotype, one with some functional data. 3rd case with polydactyly the only skeletal component of the phenotype. 4th case with tandem duplication of 2 exons. ; to: Associated with Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 19 with or without polydactyly (#617895) in OMIM

PMID: 27666822 - Duran et al 2016 - 2 cases. Family 1 - male infant (R98-443) with features consistent with Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD). The radiographic abnormalities included midface hypoplasia, dolichocephaly, a prominent occiput , short ribs, handlebar clavicles and short, curved appendicular bones, with the upper limbs particularly abnormally shaped. There was no polydactyly on either the hands or feet. They identified compound heterozygosity for two variants: p.Leu29Phe and p.Arg512*. Family 2 - fetus (R13-147A) suspected to have SRPS by prenatal ultrasonography. Postnatal radiographs showed dolichocephaly, a prominent occiput, midface hypoplasia, a very small thorax with shortened horizontal ribs, markedly short long bones with rounded metaphyses and marked hypoplasia of the radii, ulnae, tibiae and fibulae. Other radiographic features included small iliac bones and postaxial polydactyly of all extremities. They identified compound heterozygosity for variants in IFT81: p.Leu262 and p.Leu435del). Cultured chondrocytes from one patient showed decreased levels of transcript. Mutant cells produced elongated cilia, had altered hedgehog signaling, had increased post-translation modification of tubulin, and showed evidence of destabilization of additional anterograde transport complex components

PMID: 26275418 - Perrault et al 2015 - identified a homozygous mutation in IFT81 affecting an obligatory donor splice site in an individual with nephronophthisis and polydactyly (c.1188+1G-A). The variant has been classified as a VUS in OMIM as its contribution to nephronophthisis-related ciliopathy has not be confirmed. Only candidate gene sequencing of IFT-B complex proteins was found. A variant in IFT81 (c.2015_2019delACCGG) was also found in a second unrelated child with retinal dystrophy and intellectual disability (no skeletal phenotype) suggestive of a ciliopathy however 9 additional rare homozygous variants were found and so this variant has also been classified as a VUS in OMIM.

The p.N1709S is a novel variant that is not present in Single Nucleotide Polymorphism database, 1000 Genomes pilot data, or the NHLBI exome variant server. The p.Q1222R was present only in the 1000 Genomes pilot data with an overall minor allele frequency of 0.001 (0.005 in the Americas subcohort). In patient derived primary dermal fibroblasts, the compound heterozygous NIN defects did not disrupt Ninein expression or localization or obviously affect mitotic functions. But zebrafish nin morphilino knockdowns include phenotypes such as reduced growth and altered patterning of the skull, consistent with general phenotypic characteristics of MPD.

PMID: 23665482 -Grosch et al (2013) - in a consanguineous family with a phenotype resembling Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity-leptodactylic type (SEMDJL2) they identified homozygous missense mutations in the two nearby genes NIN and POLE2 which segregate with the disease in the family and were not present in 500 healthy control individuals and in the 1094 control individuals contained within the 1000-genomes database. They present evidence that mutant Ninein is most likely causative for the SEMDJL2-like phenotype.

Added comment: 6 unrelated children with skeletal abnormalities detected in the third trimester of pregnancy, who presented at birth with elevated serum PTH and alkaline phosphatase activity, with normal or low ionized calcium. Skeletal anomalies included generalized osteopenia, narrow chest, short ribs with multiple healing fractures, and bowing or fractures of long bones. All affected individuals experienced postnatal respiratory difficulties requiring ventilatory support in the first few weeks to months of life. In addition, most showed poor feeding, with some requiring tube feeding.

Added comment: Added to Skeletal dysplasia panel with Amber rating as suggested by Helen Brittain. Wang et al, 2017 (PMID:28288113) report ABL1 germline variants cosegregating with an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by congenital heart disease, skeletal abnormalities and failure to thrive. They report 2 variants in 4 families (6 individuals). Helen Brittain, clinical fellow, notes that: "the broader skeletal manifestations (scoliosis / pectus) are classically thought of as part of the Marfan / FTAAD spectrum rather than a skeletal dysplasia. Therefore do not think that skeletal dysplasia (or limb panel) would be the primary route for diagnosis here and would opt for amber on the basis that we need to see the phenotype across other cases first."
