Variant/Case Evidence:

c.455C>G p.Ala152Gly

  • Absent from gnomAD v4.

c.97A>G p.Lys33Glu

  • Absent from gnomAD v4.

  • De novo in a female pt with microcephaly, prominent nasal root, protruding tongue, severe ID, pachygyria, thin corpus callosum, spasticity limbs, inability to walk, scoliosis, feeding difficulties, patent foramen ovale. Authors showed that p.Lys33Glu prevented proper formation of the lamina network (patient 3, PMID: 32910914) (1.1pts)

  • De novo in P1, a 1mo male pt with microcephaly, Simplified gyri large ventricles, Increased extraaxial space, seizures, severe DD, dysmorphic features, Recurrent lower respiratory tract infections, gastrostomy. ?pan-hypopit. PMID: 33033404 (0.6pts)

  • De novo in P9, 5-10yo male with microcephaly, Failure to thrive, poor feeding. Constipation. Stereotypical hand movements. Long palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, depressed broad nasal bridge. Pointed chin., Febrile Seizures, GDD. PMID: 33033404 (0.6pts)

  • De novo in P11. 5-10 yo female with microcephaly, Seizures, Hypoplasia/aplasia corpus callosum, Mild/Mod GDD PMID: 33033404 (0.6pts)

c.124C>T p.Arg42Trp

  • Absent from gnomAD v4.

  • De novo in a female patient with microcephaly, dysmorphic features, significant developmental delay, MRI abnormalities, seizures, suspected cortical visual impairment, feeding difficulties, G-tube, recurrent pneumonia. Additional duplication on microarray (15q25.3(85,811,682-86,140,453)x3 pat). Authors showed that p.Lys33Glu prevented proper formation of the lamina network (patient 4, PMID: 32910914) (1.1pts)

c.939+1G>A

  • Absent from gnomAD v4.

  • Adjacent exon is in-frame.

  • 3 affected sibs (one female and 2 male). All had microcephaly and some degree of developmental delay/ID, seizures, hypotonia, scoliosis. The two brothers had cortical visual impairment, feeding difficulties, G-tube, recurrent pneumonia. Father 15% mosaic for the mutation. One brother had an additional finding on microarray (17p13.3 (954,760-1,235,739)x3 (VOUS; CMA-ISCA)). Splice variant identified on trio WES. Mosaicism identified on further analysis. (patient 5-7, PMID: 32910914) (1 pt + 0.5 for sibs: 1.5pts)

c.97_99del p.K33del

  • Absent from gnomAD v4.

  • Identified in 2 unrelated affected pts (P2 and P3). De novo in 1 and unconfirmed in the other.PMID: 33033404 (0.6 pts + 0.1pts: 0.7pts)

c.269G>C p.R90P

  • De novo in a 15-20yo M with microcephaly, Mild/Mod GDD , Delayed speech and language development , Hydronephrosis. Failure to thrive Hypothyroidism. PMID: 33033404 (0.6pts)

Severity

titleOptions

Embryonic lethal - presence of a pathogenic variant or variants is not compatible with life. The penetrance must be complete.
Severe - presence of a pathogenic variant or variant(s) results in significantly reduced fitness. The penetrance must be complete or high.
Moderate - significant morbidity or mortality due to clinical features, but fitness may not be reduced, or penetrance is reduced.
Mild - Presence of a variant or variant(s) is not associated with reduced fitness, no significant morbidity or mortality, and/or penetrance is low.
None - presence of a variant results in no phenotype. An example is recessive disorders in which no phenotype is reported in carriers.

titleExamples

- The @GENE@ is associated with @inheritance pattern@ @condition@, which is characterized by @clinical features@ (PMIDs).

- Variable expression or severity:
The severity and expressivity of the disorder is highly variable, even within families.
- If multiple conditions associated with the gene:
It has also been associated with @inheritance pattern@ @condition@, which is characterized by @clinical features@ (PMIDs).

- Limited evidence gene: The PCNA gene has been reported in individuals with early onset autosomal recessive ataxia (PMID: 33426167, 24911150), however, evidence supporting this gene-dIsease relationship is limited

The LMNB1 gene is associated with autosomal dominant primary microcephaly. Individuals have a reduced occipitofrontal circumference (OFC) at birth. Affected individuals usually have some level of developmental delay and intellectual disability. They may also have seizures, feeding difficulties, hypotonia, short stature, or dysmorphic features (PMID: 32910914, 33033404).
