Added comment: PMID: 29304374 reports on 3 unrelated individuals with biallelic pathogenic variants in FUT8.

Two of the patients were born to consanguineous parents and were found to be homozygous for stopgain variants (p.Arg239* in one family and p.Arg315* in the other). A third patient was compound heterozygous for a missense as well as a splice variant.

All three presented with similar phenotype consisting of polyhydramnios (2 out of 3), IUGR and failure to thrive with short stature (3/3), severe developmental delay (3/3) with microcephaly (3/3) and seizures (3/3). Variable respiratory problems were also noted in all.

Western blot demonstrated loss of FUT8 protein expression in one individual homozygous for a stopgain mutation as well as the patient who was compound heterozygous for the missense and the splice variant. The splice variant was further shown to produce a shorter transcript due to lack of exon 9, leading to an in-frame deletion of 59 residues critical for the protein function.

Additional studies confirmed the fucosylation defect compared to controls.

The authors note that while Fut8 knockout mice are born normal, 70% die within the first 3 days due to severe growth retardation and respiratory deficiency (similarly to what is observed in humans, though to a lesser extent).

As a result this gene can be considered for inclusion in this panel probably as green (3 unrelated families, strong additional functional data, consistent phenotype) or amber.
