This study investigates the phenotype-genotype correlations of HOXD13 in synpolydactyly type 1 (SPD1) and provides insights into the molecular mechanism of SPD1.
Purpose: HOXD13 is an important regulator of limb development. Pathogenic variants in HOXD13 cause synpolydactyly type 1 (SPD1). How different types and positions of HOXD13 variants contribute to genotype-phenotype correlations, penetrance, and expressivity of SPD1 remains elusive. Here, we present a novel cohort and a literature review to elucidate HOXD13 phenotype-genotype correlations.Methods: Patients with limb anomalies suggestive of SPD1 were selected for analysis of HOXD13 by Sanger sequencing, repeat length analysis, and next-generation sequencing. Literature was reviewed for HOXD13 heterozygotes. Variants were annotated for phenotypic data. Severity was calculated, and cluster and decision-tree analyses were performed.Results: We identified 98 affected members of 38 families featuring 11 different (likely) causative variants and 4 variants of uncertain significance. The most frequent (25/38) were alanine repeat expansions. Phenotypes ranged from unaffected heterozygotes to severe osseous synpolydactyly, with intra-and inter-familial heterogeneity and asymmetry. A literature review provided 160 evaluable affected members of 49 families with SPD1. Computer -aided analysis only corroborated a positive correlation between alanine repeat length and phenotype severity.Conclusion: Our findings support that HOXD13-protein condensation in addition to haploinsufficiency is the molecular pathomechanism of SPD1. Our data may, also, facilitate the interpretation of synpolydactyly radiographs by future automated tools.(c) 2023 American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. Published by Elsevier Inc.
