Skeletal dysplasia v4.16 PKDCC Arina Puzriakova Phenotypes for gene: PKDCC were changed from Rhizomelia; dysmorphism to Rhizomelic limb shortening with dysmorphic features, OMIM:618821
Skeletal dysplasia v3.2 SHOX Arina Puzriakova Phenotypes for gene: SHOX were changed from Langer mesomelic dysplasia 249700; Short stature, idiopathic familial 300582; Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis 127300 to Langer mesomelic dysplasia, OMIM:249700 (PR); Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis, OMIM:127300 (PD); Short stature, idiopathic familial, OMIM:300582; Dorsolateral bowed, short radii; Bowing and curving of radius; Radioulnar shortening
Skeletal dysplasia v2.226 RAD21 Arina Puzriakova Added comment: Comment on list classification: Although limb abnormalities are a common feature of CdLS, only minor skeletal anomalies are associated with RAD21 variants. Other prominent features such as ID are more likely to prompt testing and therefore maintaining the Amber rating on skeletal panels for now.
Skeletal dysplasia v2.202 DVL2 Eleanor Williams Added comment: Comment on list classification: Promoting from grey to amber, but with a recommendation for consideration for GREEN rating following GMS review. Although only 1 case has been reported, supporting evidence comes from canine data and from the fact that similar causative variants associated with Robinow syndrome have been found in the other two Dishevelled paralogs.
Skeletal dysplasia v2.161 HHAT Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Associated with Nivelon-Nivelon-Mabille syndrome #600092 (AR) in OMIM.

PMID:24784881 - Callier et al 2014 - report a family with 2 siblings with Disorder of Sex Development (DSD) and chondrodysplasia (Nivelon-Nivelon-Mabille syndrome). The first sibling (46,XY karyotype) displayed severe dwarfism with generalized chondrodysplasia, a narrow, bell-shaped thorax, micromelia, brachydactyly, severe microcephaly (-7.5 SD at age 16 (PMID:15578577) with cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, facial anomalies, hypoplastic irides, and coloboma of both optic discs. Complete gonadal dysgenesis and intellectual disability is also noted. The second sibling (46,XX karyotype) had histologically normal ovaries and similar phenotypic abnormalities including severe dwarfism and generalized chondrodysplasia. Using WES a homozygous missense variant was found NM_001122834:c.860G>T:p.(Gly287Val) in HHAT in the first sibling which is in the conserved MBOAT domain. The parents were heterozygous.

PMID:30912300 - Abdel-Salam et al 2019 - report two siblings with progressive microcephaly (-6 SD at age 6 and age 3 for the 2 siblings respectively), early infantile onset seizures, and cerebellar vermis hypoplasia but notably without dwarfism and gonadal dysgenesis. Skeletal x-rays of both siblings showed nlarged epiphyses and metaphyses, thinning of the lateral 1/3 of clavicles and trapezoidal vertebral bodies. WES found a homozygous missense (c.770T>C, p.[Leu257Pro]) HHAT which is in the conserved MBOAT domain. Both parents were heterozygous for the variant.

PMID: 33749989 - Pande et al 2021 - report multiple malformations in three pregnancies with a novel biallelic in-frame deletion, c.365_367del; (p.Thr122del), in exon 5 of HHAT in the living proband. She shows severe microphthalmia, microcephaly (−8 SD head circumference at age 7), skeletal dysplasia (narrow bell-shaped tho-rax, short and angel-shaped epiphyses of hands and feet) and midfac eretrusion, short columella with a groove at the base, prominent ears, long philtrum, depressed nasal bridge, everted lower lip, and a singlec entral incisor. She also has complete sex reversal (karyotype of 46, XY, normal internal organs including uterus and ovaries.); to: Associated with Nivelon-Nivelon-Mabille syndrome #600092 (AR) in OMIM.

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.

Skeletal dysplasia v2.9 PLEKHM1 Eleanor Williams commented on gene: PLEKHM1: Provisionally associated with ?Osteopetrosis, autosomal recessive 6 #611497 and Osteopetrosis, autosomal dominant 3 #618107 in OMIM.

2 biallelic and 2 monoallelic cases reported. Limited family segregation data and generally targeted sequencing of only a few candidate genes. A mouse model supports the role for this protein in bone re-absorption.

BIALLELIC

PMID: 17404618 - Van Wesenbeeck et al 2007 - report that loss of function variants in the PLEKHM1 gene are responsible for the osteopetrotic phenotype of the incisors absent (ia) rat. They then screened the coding sequence of the PLEKHM1 gene in 43 patients diagnosed with various forms of osteopetrosis and identified a patient with a homozygous G→A transition at position +1 of the donor splice site of intron 3. She was diagnosed with an autosomal-recessive intermediate form of the disease. Her parents, carriers of the mutation, were related to each other and were clinically normal. The oldest brother was heterozygous for the mutation and was clinically and radiologically normal. The youngest brother was homozygous for the mutation but had not yet developed clinical symptoms.

PMID: 28290981 - Moore et al 2017 - report 19 year old white male with history of fractures, as did 2 of his brothers, presenting with clinical osteopetrosis. Genetic testing using the CTGT Osteopetrosis NextGen sequencing panel, consisting of 13 genes associated with osteopetrosis, revealed 2 heterozygous missense mutations in PLEKHM1 (exon 4 and exon 7). No segregation data.

MONOALLELIC

PMID: 27291868 - Bo et al 2016 - report a middle‐aged Chinese man who presented with the typical features of osteopetrosis: fractures after minor trauma, early tooth loss, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, and a generalized increase in BMD. A novel de novo heterozygous mutation ( c.3051_3052delCA) in the PLEKHM1 gene was identified, after initial screening of ClCN7 and TNFSF11 genes found no disease causing variants. The patient's unaffected parents and children were also screen and were not found to have the deletion.

PMID: 17997709 - Del Fattore et al 2008 - describe a new heterozygous missense mutation (R714C) in the PLEKHM1 gene in a female Italian patient with generalized osteopenia and localized osteosclerosis, with a diagnosis of osteopetrosis of the skull, However they state that it is NOT a case of osteopetrosis, because in the patient, urine CTX, a marker of in vivo bone resorption, was normal, and in vitro assays of osteoclast formation and resorptive function showed no abnormalities. She was screened for variants only in ClC‐7 and PLEKHM1. No other family members were available for analysis.

MOUSE MODEL
PMID: 27777970 - Fujiwara et al 2016 - Plekhm1-deficient mice displayed no overt abnormalities in major organs, except for an increase in trabecular bone mass. Loss of Plekhm1 increased cancellous bone mass due to decreased bone resorption without obvious defects in other tissues and organs.

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%.
Skeletal dysplasia v1.220 COG1 Eleanor Williams changed review comment from: Associated with Congenital disorder of glycosylation, type IIg #611209 (AR) in OMIM.; to: Associated with Congenital disorder of glycosylation, type IIg #611209 (AR) in OMIM. Clinical features include short stature, several skeletal features such as scoliosis and vertebral abnormalities.

PMID: 16537452 - Foulquier et al 2006 - describe a patient with a mild form of congenital disorder of glycosylation type II with a homozygous insertion of a single nucleotide (2659-2660insC), which is predicted to lead to a premature translation stop and truncation of the C terminus of the Cog1 protein by 80 amino acids. Both parents were shown to be heterozygous for this mutation. Her skeletal features included small hands and feet, rhizomelic short stature.

PMID: 19008299 - Zeevaert et al 2009 - two patients (one with consanguineous Greek-Turkish parents, the other with unrelated Bulgarian parents) with a cerebrocostomandibular-like syndrome and an intronic mutation, c.1070+5G>A, that disrupts a splice donor site and leads to skipping of exon 6, a frameshift and a premature stopcodon in exon 7. Patient 1's characteristics included multiple congenital abnormalities including Pierre-Robin sequence (cleft palate, micrognathia and glossoptosis), costovertebral anomalies including osteopenia, ribfusions and posterior rib gaps, butterfly vertebrae, misalignment of the vertebrae and a clubfoot on the right. Patient 2 presented with rhizomelic shortening of upper limbs, ulnar deviation of fingers, thoracic scoliosis, hypospadias-I and left-side cryptorchidism among other features.

3 unrelated cases.

PMID: 26643951 - Chevrier et al 2016 - 1 case of a newborn female presenting with an oral-facial-digital (OFD) VI syndrome in which they identified two causal heterozygous mutations in the KIAA0753 gene. Both KIAA0753 mutations, one nonsense variant (c.1891A>T; p.Lys631*) and one substitution in Intron 8 (c.1546-3C>A), were confirmed by Sanger sequencing, as well as the maternal heterozygous status for the non-sense variant.

PMID: 28220259 - Stephen et al 2017 - 2 siblings with Joubert syndrome associated with growth hormone deficiency but no oral or digital anomalies. Whole exome sequencing of the family identified compound heterozygous mutations in KIAA0753, i.e., a missense mutation (p.Arg257Gly) and an intronic mutation (c.2359-1G>C).

PMID: 29138412 - Hammarsjö et al 2017 - report biallelic pathogenic variants in KIAA0753 in four patients from 3 families with short-rib type skeletal dysplasia - ranging from prenatal lethality in one fetus to viability with moderate skeletal dysplasia in three children. 2 families had the same homozygous nonsense variant but are not thought to be related. In the 3rd family the index patient was compound heterogyzous. KIAA0753 is expressed in normal fetal human growth plate and they show that the affected fetus, with a compound heterozygous frameshift and a nonsense mutation in KIAA0753, has an abnormal proliferative zone and a broad hypertrophic zone. The importance of KIAA0753 for normal skeletal development is further confirmed by findings that zebrafish embryos homozygous for a nonsense mutation in kiaa0753 display altered cartilage patterning. In family 1, they also identified an additional homozygous missense variant, c.425 C > T (p.Thr142Met) in SLC13A5 and conclude that the seizures and teeth hypoplasia in P1 and P2 are due to the homozygous SLC13A5 variant.

(1997) - 1 case. 17.5-year-old boy with short stature, severe bone-age retardation and exhibited mild signs of skeletal dysplasia, including generalized osteopenia, epiphyseal hypoplasia, hypoplastic iliac bones with irregular acetabular margins, and thin tubular bones. He later developed nephronophthisis. Brancati et al. (2018) (PMID: 29891882) re-assessed this patient at age 38 years and reported he exhibited short stature and severe generalized osteoporosis. Skeletal survey showed moderately shortened long bones, bowed radii, short femoral neck, brachydactyly of the hands and feet with more severe involvement of middle phalanges, distal phalanx of the thumbs, and metacarpals, moderately thickened calvarium, and rotoscoliosis. Compound heterozygous variants in TMEM67 were identified, one inherited from each of his parents.

PMID: 11391657 - Hedera and Gorski (2001) described 2 brothers, who had early onset retinitis pigmentosa, short stature with GH deficiency, mild facial asymmetry, and acromelic shortening of the distal extremities. They suggest this phenotype is consistent with RHYNS syndrome but no genome analysis was done.

Rating Changed from Green List (high evidence) to Green List (high evidence)
Skeletal dysplasia v1.107 PDE3A Rachel Jones gene: PDE3A was added
gene: PDE3A was added to Unexplained skeletal dysplasia. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: PDE3A was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: PDE3A were set to PMID: 25961942; 9696728
Phenotypes for gene: PDE3A were set to Hypertension and brachydactyly syndrome 112410
Penetrance for gene: PDE3A were set to Complete
Mode of pathogenicity for gene: PDE3A was set to Loss-of-function variants (as defined in pop up message) DO NOT cause this phenotype - please provide details in the comments
Review for gene: PDE3A was set to GREEN
Added comment: Mutations appear to be gain of function missense as per PMID 25961942*. 6 missense variants identified in unrelated families with dominant hypertension with brachydactyly (HTNB)
