Compound heterozygous splicing variants expand the genotypic spectrum of EMC1-related disorders

Samantha J. Bryen et al.

Summary: EMC1 encodes subunit 1 of the EMC, a protein complex involved in membrane protein biosynthesis. Variants in EMC1 can cause developmental delay, hypotonia, visual impairment, and cerebral atrophy. This study identified novel variants in EMC1 using exome and whole genome sequencing, and demonstrated the importance of RNA studies in assessing the pathogenicity of deep intronic variants.

THUMPD1 bi-allelic variants cause loss of tRNA acetylation and a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder

Martin Broly et al.

Summary: Covalent tRNA modifications have diverse roles in tRNA stability, folding, translation rate and fidelity, and various cellular processes. Mutations in the THUMPDI gene, involved in tRNA N4-acetylcytidine modification, have been linked to intellectual disability. This study presents individuals with rare loss-of-function variants in THUMPDI, showing common features of developmental delay, intellectual deficiency, behavioral abnormalities, facial dysmorphism, and ophthalmological abnormalities. Functional analysis demonstrates that THUMPDI variants result in a loss of tRNA modification, leading to syndromic intellectual disability.

Germline variants in tumor suppressor FBXW7 lead to impaired ubiquitination and a neurodevelopmental syndrome

Sarah E. M. Stephenson et al.

Summary: This study identifies a neurodevelopmental syndrome associated with variations in the FBXW7 gene. The syndrome is characterized by global developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, and gastrointestinal issues, along with structural abnormalities in the cerebellum, corpus callosum, and white matter.

De novo variants in EMC1 lead to neurodevelopmental delay and cerebellar degeneration and affect glial function in Drosophila

Hyung-Lok Chung et al.

Summary: This study provides functional evidence in a Drosophila model to establish de novo monoallelic EMC1 variants as causative of a neurological disease trait. Variation in glial-specific EMC1 dosage leads to pupal lethality, suggesting that altered stoichiometry of the multi-subunit protein complex EMC may be the cause.

Transcriptome analysis provides critical answers to the variants of uncertain significance conundrum

Mackenzie D. Postel et al.

Summary: While whole-genome and exome sequencing have revolutionized our understanding of genetics, there are limitations in using DNA-level data to identify the genetic causes of diseases in non-White and non-European populations. RNA analysis can help clarify the significance of variants of unknown/uncertain significance (VUS), leading to a better understanding of diseases in different populations. It plays a critical role in both neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases.

A minimal role for synonymous variation in human disease

Ryan S. Dhindsa et al.

Summary: Synonymous mutations change the DNA sequence of a gene without affecting the protein sequence. Most synonymous variants are neutral or weakly deleterious, except for some exceptions. A recent study in yeast suggests that synonymous mutations could be as important as nonsynonymous mutations in causing disease, but there is currently insufficient evidence to support this claim.

ABHD16A deficiency causes a complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia associated with intellectual disability and cerebral anomalies

Gabrielle Lemire et al.

Summary: ABHD16A encodes the major PS lipase in the brain and its variants may lead to a complicated form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. Patients exhibit global developmental delay, progressive limb spasticity, and brain anomalies. This study contributes to understanding the molecular mechanisms of the condition.

Case Report: A Synonymous Mutation in NF1 Located at the Non-canonical Splicing Site Leading to Exon 45 Skipping

Pengzhen Jin et al.

Summary: Synonymous mutations are generally considered non-pathogenic, but recent studies have shown that they can lead to abnormal splicing and affect protein function. This study identified a synonymous mutation in a Neurofibromatosis type I patient that caused abnormal splicing, confirming its pathogenicity.
