    1. Patient 1 She was born at term to first cousin parents of Pakistani origin. She presented to the dermatologist at the age of 9 months with hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis, particularly on her back and legs (Fig. 1A). Physical examination showed extensive hyperpigmented areas with dark, long hairs over the buttocks, legs and arms. In addition, she showed limited dysmorphism: epicanthal folds, hypertelorism, widely spaced nipples and lipoatrophy of buttocks. A skin biopsy from the hyperpigmented area of her legs showed non-specific inflammation. Figure 1Open in figure viewerPowerPoint (A) Marked hypertrichosis on the lower legs. (B) Hypermelanosis on the inner aspects of the thighs. (C) Close up of (B) showing the marked hypermelanosis and hypertrichosis. In the subsequent 2 yr, failure to thrive became clear and she suffered from recurrent pyrexia’s and chronic diarrhoea. She was noted to have hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, anaemia and mild ascites with peripheral oedema. Numerous investigations failed to explain the underlying cause. At 4 yr of age, because of the polyuria and polydipsia, she was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus necessitating insulin treatment. Islet cell and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies were negative. As a result of the persistent diarrhoea, faecal stool elastase was measured, which was found to be undetectable, and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy was started. Diarrhoea persisted however, and growth slowed down [at 4.4 yr height was at −2.9 standard deviation score (SDS), at 7.6 yr height was at −3.99 SDS]. She showed hirsutism with sparing of her knees and elbows. The skin on her arms and legs showed increased tightening over the years, and similarly her face became affected. The lymphadenopathy spread and was present in the groins and axillae. Biopsies from both lymph nodes and subcutaneous tissue showed fibrofatty connective tissue with fibrosis and mononuclear cell infiltrates around the larger vessels. Inflammatory markers such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (160 mm/hr), and C-reactive protein (CRP) (62 mg/l) were constantly raised. Her liver and spleen were enlarged. At 7 yr, she developed increasing shortness of breath and lethargy. An echocardiogram showed mild left ventricular dilatation. A trial of oral prednisolone therapy caused some reduction in her ESR level (65 mm/hr), improved her clinical condition and activity levels and reduced lymphadenopathy. When steroid were weaned, her ESR again increased to 99 mm/hr. At the most recent physical examination at the age of 7.9 yr, her height was 101.7 cm (−4 SDS) and weight was 18.5 kg (−2.26 SDS). Her diarrhoea had settled on pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. On prednisolone therapy, she was more energetic and less breathless. Her dermatosis had remained unchanged and she continued to have hepatomegaly (liver palpable 10 cm below the right costal margin) and splenomegaly (spleen palpable 2 cm below the left costal margin). Otherwise physical examination (including neuromuscular examination) gave normal results. She had a normal cognition. Ophthalmologic examination showed myopia with astigmatism but no signs of retinopathy. Audiometry showed a conductive hearing loss of 30 dB for which bilateral grommets were inserted. Her brain and spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging was normal, skeletal survey showed only mild sclerosis of the skull vault but otherwise gave normal results. Her karyotype was normal female, 46,XX. Immunological investigations revealed isolated immunoglobulin (Ig)A deficiency, raised IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 with persistently raised ESR and CRP. Antibody screens for autoimmune disease were negative. She had an oral glucose tolerance test that showed elevated blood glucose with undetectable insulin concentration.

    1. Since 2000 we have performed 54 HSCT procedures (on 44 children) for MPSIH at Manchester (Table 1). Of these, six (13.6 %) displayed significant cardiomyopathy at presentation. Interestingly three of these were from the same extended pedigree (from Kuwait), sharing the R628X IDUA gene mutation. All children were diagnosed within the first 4 months of life with dilated cardiomyopathy and significant LV functional impairment. Symptomatic cardiac failure was the predominant presenting feature in five children, with silent cardiomyopathy identified on screening echocardiography in the other. Median FS and EF at diagnosis were 12.5 % (range 3–20 %) and 35 % (15–40 %) respectively. Electrocardiography (ECG) patterns varied, but included strikingly tall QRS complexes consistent with LV enlargement/hypertrophy and evidence of myocardial ischaemia (ST segment depression; T wave inversion) in several cases. Further detailed cardiac investigation (including serum troponin) was rarely performed.

      gnomAD: The missense variant G437R is present in gnomAD v4.0.0 with a MAF=0.00006666 (4/60002 alleles) in the Admixed American population and 0 homozygotes.

      PreviouslyPublished: PMID: 18410979

      VariantEvidence: Kang et al. (2010; PMID: 20595384) performed functional characterization of the G437R mutation in Xenopus oocytes and observed transport activity that was approximately half that of wildtype SLC29A3. Studies in NIH 3T3 fibroblasts demonstrated accelerated turnover of the G437R mutant compared to wildtype, suggesting decreased stability.

      VariantEvidence Immunofluorescence of SLC26A1 protein, when overexpressed in HEK293 cells, showed that p.Thr185Met causes protein to fail to reach plasma membrane (Figure 2). Monitoring of intracellular pH showed that p.Thr185Met has severely reduced activity (Figure 4). PCR of slc26a1 transcript in H293K cells showed no change in amount of transcript suggesting that the low p.Ser363Leu band levels in the immunoblot (Figure 3) were due to low portein stability.

    2. In a European-American boy (B641-12) who had nephrolithiasis and was born to consanguineous parents, we detected a homozygous missense mutation in SLC26A1 (Table 1, Figure 1, and Figure S1). The paternal grandfather of this individual also had nephrolithiasis. A kidney stone was initially found in this individual during a computerized tomography scan, which was performed for the evaluation of abdominal pain. In a 24 hr urine test, oxalate was within normal range (Table S2). Renal function of this individual was normal. The detected missense mutation (c.166G>A, p.Ala56Thr)

    1. Gene and mutation identification Analysis of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray genotypes from six patients with PHID identified a single common 1.4 Mb region of shared homozygosity within cytogenetic band 10q22.1, between SNPs rs10509321 and rs1900515 (Fig. 1A). Inspection of the Ensembl and UCSC Genome Browsers demonstrated that the region included 14 known and predicted genes: ADAMTS14, C10orf27, CDH23, EIF4EBP2, LRRC2, KIAA1274, NODAL, NPFFR1, PCBD1, PPA1, PRF1, SLC29A3, SGPL1, UNC5B. Positional candidate genes were selected for sequencing in order to identify pathogenic mutations (Fig. 1B). Five different homozygous mutations were identified in the SLC29A3 gene encoding the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (Fig. 1C, Table 1). Human ENT3 has been shown recently to be the cause of H syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder with overlapping skin features to PHID (6), indicating that these are allelic disorders. hENT3 belongs to a structurally unique protein family of nucleoside and/or nucleobase transporters (13,14). The five homozygous mutations identified segregated with the disease within each family and were not present in over 100 Lebanese and Pakistani control chromosomes.

The deletion causes a frame shift mutation p.Y314Tfs in transmembrane domain 7 and is predicted to result in the substitution of transmembrane domains 8–11 with an irrelevant protein sequence of 91 amino acids derived from an alternate reading frame. The nonsense mutation p.E444X is predicted to lead to premature protein truncation with loss of part of the final cytoplasmic domain and transmembrane domain 11 of hENT3. It would appear unlikely that the either residual protein would be capable of nucleoside transport function.Three homozygous missense mutations of SLC29A3 were identified to involve conserved amino acids (Table 1). The first missense mutation involves Methionine116 in transmembrane domain 2, which is a hydrophobic amino acid in species as distantly related as humans and nematodes, with a large basic amino acid, Arginine (p.M116R; Fig. 1C and E). The Grantham score for this substitution is 91, which is classified as a moderate change (15). Analysis using the SIFT prediction software also classifies this as a likely deleterious change (16). The introduction of a large basic amino acid into a transmembrane domain would likely result in significant disruption of the hydrophobic nature of the domain and result in retention of the transporter protein within the endoplasmic reticulum, as has been demonstrated for other membrane proteins (17).The second missense change is a recently reported Glycine to Arginine substitution at hENT3 amino acid 437 (p.G437R Fig. 1C), which is located in the putative cytoplasmic domain between transmembrane domains 10 and 11. This is the only mutation in the PHID cohort that is shared with the known mutations in H syndrome. Of particular interest is the observation that this is the sole individual in the PHID cohort who has not developed insulin-dependent DM. The p.G437R change involves the substitution of a large basic amino acid at a position where 41 members of the ENT family as distantly related as humans and Arabidopsis thaliana encode a small hydrophobic amino acid (Fig. 1E) (18). The Grantham difference for this change is 125 and is classified as a moderately radical change.The third missense change occurs at hENT3 amino acid residue 449, which is also located in the final putative intracellular domain between transmembrane domains 10 and 11, and involves the substitution of a Threonine by an Arginine (p.T449R). The amino acids encoded at this position in hENT3 orthologs are small polar/uncharged or small hydrophobic residues (Fig. 1E). Substitution by arginine is associated with a Grantham score of 71 and is predicted by SIFT as not to be tolerated.

    1. The older brother, P1 (Figure 1A, B), is the first child of first-cousin parents of Moroccan origin. He was born at term, with normal health indicators and metrics, following an uneventful pregnancy. P1 has an adult height of 162 cm, which is close to 167 cm, his predicted adult height based on the heights of his parents (his father is 168 cm tall and his mother is 155 cm tall). He was diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes at the age of 5 years. He was subsequently diagnosed with exocrine pancreas insufficiency at the age of 9 years, following the observation of bulky stools and steatorrhea with levels of fat in stool at 12 g/24 hr. At this stage, a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis was excluded and a computed tomography (CT) scan of the pancreas was normal. At the age of 14 years, nasal obstruction occurred, with infiltrates found in both the nose and the right maxillary sinus (Figure 1C). P1 was then diagnosed with RS. Several operations were required to free the nasal fossae, between the ages of 14 and 18 years. An improvement was observed after the initiation of antibiotic treatment, but multiple relapses occurred 10 months after treatment, despite the use of various combinations of antibiotics. Apparently spontaneous recovery was observed from the age of 18 years onwards. Biological signs of inflammation persisted, with both a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (>50 mm) and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia (IgG = 15.3 g/l, IgA = 4.2 g/l, IgM = 2.8 g/l). Finally, P1 developed a very mild contracture of the fingers and toes at the age of 12 years (Figure 1D). At last follow up, the patient was 33 years old and had insulin-dependent diabetes and exocrine pancreatic deficiency. He is doing well, with daily subcutaneous insulin and oral pancreatic extract treatments, which have normalized his glycemia and steatorrhea. He has required no further surgery since the age of 18 years, but still suffers from chronic nasal obstruction and an enlarged nose due to the presence of a nasal mass (Figure 1B). He recently suffered from local pain of the knee. X-ray revealed lytic bone lesions of both patellas (Figure 1E). No other lesions were detected on X-ray or bone scintigraphy. This patient is otherwise healthy (Table 1). Both cardiac morphology and function were normal on cardiac ultrasonography (US). Dermatologist examination revealed no pigmented hypertrichotic skin lesions and skin biopsies taken at 3 different sites were normal. Speech and tone audiometries were normal. Ophtalmologic examination revealed mild diabetic retinopathy but no uveitis and no histiocytic infiltration.

    2. 2 Clinical presentationThe patient was a 4 yr-old boy referred to Myelin Disorders Clinic at Children's Medical Center, Tehran, Iran in 2017 due to macrocephaly and abnormal facies. He was the second child born to a consanguineous marriage. He was born after a full-term, uneventful pregnancy with a birth weight, length and head circumference (HC) of 4200 g, 47 cm and 39 cm, respectively. Within the first months of life, macrocephaly and puffy eyelids were noted, but motor, cognitive and speech developmental milestones were compatible with chronological age at age one yr-old. HC at age of 1 year was 49 cm (>+2 Z-score). By the age of 2 yr, he developed umbilical hernia, which later underwent surgical operation, but it was not completely disappeared, so that it was visible at the time of our examination at 4 yr old in spite of previous corrective surgery. From age of 3 yr-old up to now, half a tablet per day of levothyroxine has been prescribed for him due to clinical suspicion of hypothyroidism, but review of his medical documents did not reveal abnormal thyroid function tests. By the age of 4 yr, when he referred to Myelin Disorders Clinic, his head circumference and height were 54.5 cm (>+3 Z-score) and 106 cm (>-2 Z-score), respectively ( Fig. 1 .A). Developmental milestones regarding Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) were normal. Neurologic examinations were normal but systemic exams showed abnormal facial characteristics including sparse eyebrows, high forehead, broad nasal bridge, epicanthic folds, downward slanted palpebral fissures, long philtrum, retro-micrognathia, full lips, coarsening appearance, gingival hyperplasia and premature teeth. Clinical examination also showed flat feet, hyperextensible skin, joints hyperlaxity and easy bruising. No symptom of ichthyosis or scoliosis were noticed. A large hypopigmented skin lesion under anterior abdominal region around umbilicus was observed ( Fig. 1 .B-E). His parents claimed that the skin lesion was the remaining of an old burn. Open full size image Fig. 1 Diagram of head circumference of index case over time is shown by black dots. Standard deviation (SD) lines with the corresponding Z-score are presented (A). Clinical features of the proband: coarse facies with downward slanted palpebral fissures, high forehead, broad nasal bridge, epicanthic folds, retro-micrognathia, Puffy droopy eyelids, full everted lips and sparse eyebrows (B), gum hypertrophy, irregular dentition long philtrum (C), flat feet (D) and umbilical hernia (E). First brain MRI of patient at age 4 years. Axial and coronal planes at the level of basal ganglia and centrum semiovale, in T2 weighted spin echo and FLAIR sequences images reveals diffuse abnormal white matter signal more pronounced at superficial subcortical and deep peritrigonal regions (F, G, H). Bilateral anterior temporal small subcortical cysts formation (I, J-black arrows) and increased perivascular spaces in posterior deep white matter are noticed clearly visible in FlAIR sequence images (K-black arrow). Sequence chromatogram showing homozygote and heterozygote state of NM_001242581.1: c.2251dup mutation in the parents and affected boy (L).For more detailed evaluations brain MRI and complementary metabolic studies using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were performed. Eventually whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed to look for a probable genetic factor involved in leukoencephalopathy and abnormal facies.

      VariantEvidence: PMID:8162015 previously reported this variant to be associated with the infantile form of SD. A fibroblast line from this patient with the infantile form of the disease was investigated for mutations by single strand conformation polymorphism analysis and direct sequencing of PCR products. A nonsense mutation was found which generated a stop codon at codon 284. The study investigated the steady-state level of mRNA produced by cells containing stop codons using a competitive polymerase chain reaction technique and found that at codon 284, the mRNA levels were 0.8%, as percent of normal per single gene dose.

    1. We identified two unrelated children with DSS. Their clinical features are given in Table 1 and their radiographs are shown in Figure 1. They presented with fractures, cortical thickening and widening of the diaphysis of the long bones, cranial base sclerosis, broad ribs with sclerosis and platyspondyly. Subject 1 suffered from recurrent ear and skin infections between the ages of 8 and 11 months. Subject 2 presented with a pulmonary infection at two years of age and later necessitated surgical removal of her adenoids for breathing difficulties. Bone marrow biopsies were not performed in either child. Neither child had neurological symptoms or dental anomalies. Only subject 1 had skin findings, which were recurrent transient erythematous papules on the lower abdomen (1). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for subject 1 showed a lumbar spine BMD Z-score of +8.1 at 2 years of age, and +11.9 at 5 years of age. Because she has short stature, these greatly elevated bone density scores are actually underestimates (6).

Images from subject 1 at 33 months (and 22 months for the pelvis) are from Whyte et al. (1), and have been reproduced with authorization from the publisher. For subject 2, radiographs were taken at 4 years of age. Note the sclerosis at the skull base, periphery of the iliac wings and metaphyses, platyspondyly, and in the long bones cortical thickening at the diaphysis, diaphyseal enlargement with relative radiolucency and a fracture in subject 2.We performed whole-exome sequencing to identify the genetic basis of DSS. Our study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Baylor College of Medicine. As shown in Table 2, after discrete filtering against dBSNP129 for variants with known minor allele frequencies <5% (according to the 1000 Genomes Pilot project), only 303 genes had rare or novel protein-impacting variants in both subjects. As an initial strategy, we kept genes in which variants corresponded to an autosomal recessive model (i.e. homozygous or compound heterozygote variants). There were 132 such overlapping genes. Given the high number of false-positive INDEL calls, we preferentially explored genes that showed at least one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). As shown in Table 2, only 17 genes shared by the two subjects showed rare or novel protein-impacting variants. Variants were visualized and compared with 12 other exomes of subjects with unrelated conditions. After keeping only high-quality variants (e.g. removing variants in repeat regions or variants seen in unrelated conditions that are likely false positives), and considering variants predicted to be pathogenic, only SLC29A3 variants remained. Subject 1 is heterozygous for p.Ser203Pro (c.607T>C) and p.Arg386Gln (c.1157G>A).

During these episodes, urticaria began midway through an infusion but resolved soon after the infusion was completed. In the four patients with recurrent urticaria, the episodes eventually became less frequent and less severe and finally stopped. In three patients (Patients 1, 5, and 6), the urticaria was accompanied by angioedema (thickening of the tongue and tightening of the throat) on a total of nine occasions and by moderate transient hypoxemia on three occasions.

    1. In the index patient (IV1) of family OA1-3 that did not show exon deletion, sequence analysis of all coding exons including the exon-intron boundaries revealed a deletion of a single nucleotide G at position 310 of the cDNA introducing a subsequent premature stop codon one codon downstream, predicting a deleterious protein product. This newly described mutation (310delG) in exon 2 of the OA1 gene creates a TaqI restriction site. Although the pedigree of family OAI-3 initially suggested the patient IV1 to be a sporadic case, PCR-restriction analysis identified the patient's maternal uncle (III3), known to have only a decreased visual acuity at age 38, as hemizygous for the mutation. The mother (III2) and the maternal grand-mother (II1) of the proband were found to be carriers (Fig. ​(Fig.4B),4B), as expected

      Variant: The proband harbors the NM_001563.4(IMPG1):c.461T>C (p.Leu154Pro) and NM_001563.4(IMPG1):c.1519C>T (p.Arg507Ter) variants in the compound heterozygous state.

      ClinVar: 162136, 162135

      gnomAD: The NM_001563.4(IMPG1):c.461T>C (p.Leu154Pro) variant was found in gnomAD v2.1.1 at a frequency of 0.00007924 (9/113576) in the European non-Finnish population, with 0 homozygotes https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/6-76744345-A-G The NM_001563.4(IMPG1):c.1519C>T (p.Arg507Ter) variant was found in gnomAD v2.1.1 at a frequency of 0.00004007 (1/24958) in the African / African-American population, with 0 homozygotes https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/6-76660584-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r2_1

      VariantEvidence: NM_001563.4(IMPG1):c.461T>C (p.Leu154Pro) is a missense variant that does not have evidence confirming an impact on the gene product. However, another study has reported an apparently unrelated affected patient harboring this variant in the heterozygous state (PMID: 30688845). The NM_001563.4(IMPG1):c.1519C>T (p.Arg507Ter) variant is a nonsense variant in exon 13 of 17 and is predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated decay or to at least truncate the C-terminal 37% of the protein product.

      CaseAddInfo: The proband has a similarly affected older sister who shares the same genotype. One carrier child is unaffected while the other has a slight defect in one eye within the line separating the inner and outer segments, consistent with incomplete penetrance in the heterozygous state. Consanguinity is not reported in this family.

      CasePreviousTesting: Previous testing for mutations in the CLN1, CLN2, CLN3, CLN6, and CLN8 had already occurred, using PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing to exclude the possibility of variants in the exons and surrounding noncoding regions. Genome-wide analysis methods were not used, as NCL had already been diagnosed based on clinical phenotypes.

      CaseMethod1: PCR amplification of the coding and surrounding non-coding regions of each gene, followed by bidirectional Sanger sequencing.

      CaseGenotypingMethod: CLN5 genotyping was performed by PCR amplification of the four exons and surrounding non-coding regions was performed, followed by bi-directional Sanger sequencing. Synthetic multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was then used to calculate average gene dosage ratio for each ratio, in order to detect large deletions.

      Variant: The patient harbors the NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.974A>G (p.Tyr325Cys) variant as well as a chromosomal deletion that includes exon 4.

      VariantEvidence: The variant encodes a missense substitution that adds a cysteine to the CLN5 protein and may disrupt its structure. In a previous publication from an overlapping group of authors, mass spectrometry confirmed absence of CLN5 protein expression in samples from an individual harboring this variant, but in not control samples (PMID:19383612).

      CaseAddInfo: Although parents do not appear to have been genotyped, the missense variant (in exon 4) can be inferred to be in trans with the exon 4 deletion.

      VariantEvidence: Both variants encode missense substitutions in the protein product. Because both change the total number of cysteines in the CLN5 protein, they may disrupt its structure. In a previous publication from an overlapping group of authors, mass spectrometry confirmed absence of CLN5 protein expression in samples from this individual, but in not control samples (PMID:19383612).

      VariantEvidence: The NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.78G>A (p.Trp26Ter) nonsense variant is likely to be subject to nonsense mediated decay. The NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.522dup (p.Trp175fs) frameshift variant is predicted to truncate ~51% of the protein. On the other hand, the synonymous NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.381T>G (p.Thr127=) variant appears unlikely to have a gene impact.

      CaseAddInfo: Parents do not appear to have been genotyped, so it is unclear whether the two variants with predicted gene impact have been shown or simply assumed to be in trans. The same is true for the benign, synonymous variant.

His fundus image showed extensive retinal pigment crumbs including macula region and OCT results indicated IS/OS loss and retinal atrophy (Fig. 1). According to Sanger sequencing, this patient inherited a frameshift variant (c.1655_1656delAG, p.E522Gfs*6) from his father and a missense variant (c.G2368A, p.E790K) from his mother (Fig. 2).

    2. The index case we investigated, SRF71, is a 43-year-old male RP patient of Han Chinese ethnicity. He was aware of night blindness during childhood and vision loss at the age of 36 (Table 1). His fundus images showed widespread retinal bone spicule pigmentation, and gold foil macular reflex. OCT images showed loss of inner segment (IS)/outer segment (OS) of photoreceptor cells (Fig. 1). His parents are normal and he has an unaffected sister. Preliminary screening by retinal capture sequencing found no causative mutations in known RP-causing genes. WES data show that he has biallelic variants in IFT140, including a missense (c.T4196C, p. L1399P) and a frameshift (c. 1898_1901delATAA, p. N633Sfs*10) variant. Neither variant was found more than once in ExAC controls (Table 1). The missense variant disrupts a highly conserved amino acid (AA) in TPR9 domain and is considered to be damaging by 5 out of 6 prediction algorithms (Fig. 3; Table S2). The frameshift variant does not lie in the last exon thus it probably leads to a nonsense-mediated decay of the IFT140 transcript. Sanger sequencing confirmed his unaffected sister is wild type at these two alleles and his parents possess one IFT140 variant each, supporting the pathogenicity of the IFT140 variants (Fig. 2). Given that IFT140 is associated with syndromic ciliopathies, we performed radiography of skeletons and laboratory tests for hepatic and renal functions. Interestingly, the patient does not show any other symptoms or abnormalities after detailed examination (Figure S4, Table S3). Therefore, these results raise the possibility that mutations in IFT140 might lead to non-syndromic retinal disease.

      gnomAD: The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.1430A>G (p.Asp477Gly) variant was not found in gnomAD.

      VariantEvidence: Exogenous expression of the variant reveals protein expression levels, cellular localization and retinoid isomerase activity comparable to the wild-type (PMID: 29659842). However, knock-in mouse models exhibit retinyl ester accumulation (PMID: 29659842), abnormally slow regeneration of 11-cis-retinal after light exposure, and ERG results indicative of delayed dark adaptation (PMID: 28041994). Mice with CRISPR-mediated knock-in of the variant also exhibit a splicing defect in RPE65 due to the introduction of a cryptic splice site, which likely triggers a frameshift, exclusion of exons 13 and 14 from the transcript, and premature truncation of the protein product (PMID: 30628748).

      gnomAD: NM_022567.2:c.856del (p.Asp286ThrfsTer62) was not found in gnomAD.

      VariantEvidence: The NM_022567.2:c.856del (p.Asp286ThrfsTer62) variant is located in exon 2/2 and is not predicted to trigger NMD. It is predicted to introduce a premature stop codon that would disrupt the C-terminal 41% of the protein product while adding 62 different amino acids.

    1. A second IMPG1 mutation, c.807 + 5G > A, was found in patient #2 of the consanguineous Turkish family 11-151 in a homozygous state (Table 1). Homozygosity was confirmed by segregation analysis in the genomic DNA of the parents. The intronic c.807 + 5G > A nucleotide substitution resides within in the conserved 5’ splice site of exon 7 and is predicted to weaken the donor splice site by 20%. The analysis of cDNA derived from HEK293 cells transfected with a construct containing the c.807 + 5G > A mutation, revealed aberrant pre-mRNA splicing; exon 7 was skipped in about half of the transcripts leading to a 194 bp as well as the 335 bp reverse transcription (RT)-PCR product amplified in controls (Figure 1). An additional faint band of ~270 bp of unknown origin was seen in cells transfected with the mutant construct. The in vitro splice assay thus confirms the bioinformatic prediction of missplicing due to the c.807 + 5G > A variant that likely leads to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) of the aberrant mRNA.

      gnomAD: The NM_001563.4(IMPG1):c.807+5G>A variant was not found in gnomAD v2.1.1.

      VariantEvidence: NM_001563.4(IMPG1):c.807+5G>A is an intron 7 variant that has mini-gene assay evidence from this article (Figure 1) confirming a partial deleterious impact on the splicing of the transcript.

    2. Patient #1 of the German family 13-501 carries a heterozygous c.713T > C nucleotide change in exon 7 of the IMPG1 gene that leads to a p.(Leu238Pro) amino acid substitution in the SEA I domain (Sperm protein, Enterokinase and Agrin) of the IMPG1 protein and is predicted to be pathogenic by all three algorithms used in the in silico analysis. At the age of 13, patient #1 showed reduced visual acuity with 0.2 and 0.1 logMAR on the right and left eye, respectively. The fundus of both eyes revealed central RPE abnormalities with foveal detachment (images not available). Patient #1 is the only affected member in the family. Data on ophthalmological examination or genetic testing of the parents of patient #1 were not available.

In contrast, her son, patient 1.2, had more severe disease at an earlier age, developing nyctalopia at age 18 years and central visual disturbance at age 33 years with deterioration to hand movement vision in each eye by age 48 years. Peripheral fields to confrontation were still preserved in patches at this age. Fundus examination in both patients showed extensive chorioretinal atrophy with more severe atrophy apparent in the periphery in patient 1.1 with peripheral increased pigment clumps (Figure 1). The OCT for patient 1.2 demonstrated extensive atrophy of the outer nuclear and photoreceptor layers, RPE, and choroid (Figure 1). In the regions of the preserved retina and RPE, outer retinal tubulation was frequently found. Autofluorescence imaging showed a generalized loss of autofluorescence except sparse, scalloped areas of the preserved retina and RPE (Figure 1). Fundus fluorescein angiography in patient 1.2 demonstrated relatively well-preserved retinal vasculature with readily visible choroidal vasculature and no abnormal leakage (Figure 2). The ERGs for patient 1.2 at age 33 years showed a rod-cone pattern of dysfunction of moderate severity with macular involvement (Figure 3). There was marked involvement at the level of the RPE as demonstrated by an abolished light rise on EOG.

      gnomAD: The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.271C>T (p.Arg91Trp) variant has a maximum allele frequency of 0.0002406 (in the African / African-American population, with no homozygotes): https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-68910541-G-A The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.1355T>G (p.Val452Gly) variant has a maximum allele frequency of 0.00005660 (in the Latino / Admixed American population, with no homozygotes): https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-68896843-A-C

      VariantEvidence: The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.271C>T (p.Arg91Trp) missense variant was also found in apparently unrelated patients diagnosed with Leber congenital amaurosis (Figure 2B). A separate publication (PMID: 16754667) expressed this missense variant in non-patient cells and showed that it abolished the isomerohydrolase activity of the protein product, reduced its stability, and shifted the subcellular localization from predominantly membrane-associated to predominantly cytosolic. The NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.1355T>G (p.Val452Gly) variant is a missense mutation without evidence of gene impact.

      CaseAddInfo: The two variants are strongly suspected to be in trans, but one parent was not genotyped. A heterozygous carrier of the NM_000329.3(RPE65):c.1355T>G (p.Val452Gly) variant was found to be unaffected. Potential consanguinity between the parents was not reported.

      CaseGenotypingMethod: Genotyping consisted of whole-exome sequencing followed by Sanger sequencing of the 19 exons of the IMPG2 gene.

      Variant: The patient harbors the NM_016247.4:c.1239+1G>T variant in the homozygous state.

      CAID: CA353864391

      gnomAD: The variant was found in gnomAD v2.1.1.

      VariantEvidence: NM_016247.4:c.1239+1G>T is a canonical splice site variant in intron 11 of the 19-exon locus that has been shown by mini-gene assay to trigger a splicing defect that leads to complete skipping of exon 11. Because this would lead to a shift of frame, the variant is predicted to lead to a premature stop after codon 385 and either NMD or truncation of 69% of the C-terminus of the protein product.

      CaseAddInfo: The family is consanguineous, with the parents being first cousins and heterozygous carriers of the variant. The patient has two affected siblings who share the same genotype.

      PreviouslyPublished: N/A

      SupplementalData: Supplementary Table S3 from this paper (PMID: 30668888) provides some of the proband phenotype details.

      Variant: The variant is NM_000362.5(TIMP3):c.113C>G (p.Ser38Cys), a missense variant predicted to introduce a new cysteine-encoding codon into exon 1.

      ClinVar: 843268

      gnomAD: Variant is absent from gnomAD.

      VariantEvidence: Variant adds a Cys residue to TIMP3 and is predicted to disrupt tertiary structure. Patient fibroblasts reveal no change in expression of the variant at the mRNA level, no dimerization of the variant under non-reducing conditions, and no defect in its localization to the ECM. Variant showed a minor increase in glycosylation. An in vitro transcription and translation study found that the variant forms an aberrant intramolecular disulfide bond between the introduced Ser38Cys residue and Cys36 of TIMP3 (Figure 7). Aberrant intramolecular disulfide bonding caused by this variant would be consistent gain-of-function and an autosomal dominant mechanism of inheritance.

    1. Mutational screening revealed the previously described missense mutation c.835G>A (D279N) inherited from the mother, and two novel mutations, c.565C>T (Q189X) and c.335G>C (R112P) from paternal and maternal inheritance, respectively.

      CaseHPOFreeText: Progressive attention deficits and regression of language ability were the phenotypes at presentation (age 3). Motor clumsiness presented at age 4, initiating a larger pattern of developmental regression. Phenotypes with onset at age 7 included visual deterioration, gait ataxia, distal and axial myoclonus, atonic and myoclonic generalized epileptic seizures, bilateral optic atrophy, retinal degeneration, abnormal EEG showing diffuse slowing of background rhythm and occipital spike-wave activity, and abnormal brain MRI with cerebral and cerebellar atrophy as well as increased signal intensity of both the posterior limb of the capsula interna and the periventricular white matter. At age 8, any independence in daily activities was lost, as well as any language abilities. Ataxic gait was marked, and EEG activity showed slowing and disorganization, frequent multifocal high-voltage polyspike-slow wave complexes, and epileptic activity corresponding to myoclonus. At 15 years (time of study), the patient was bedridden and showed amaurotic behavior, emotional lability, marked dysphagia, severe mental retardation, dystonic postures of the limbs and trunk, pyramidal signs in the limbs, bilateral optic atrophy, and frequent myoclonus (both erratic and stimulus-induced). Intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent lipopigment storage material was also detected at age 15.

      CasePreviousTesting: Previous genotype testing was not performed. While the PPT1 and TPP1 loci were not sequenced, their enzymatic activity in extracts from leucocyte and fibroblast cells was confirmed to be within the normal range.

      CaseGenotypingMethod: Based on detailed clinical phenotypes consistent with variant NCL with late-infantile onset, coding regions and intron boundaries of the CLN3, CLN5, and CLN6 loci were PCR-amplified and subjected to Sanger sequencing. Genome-wide analysis methods were not used. Parents (and patient) were subsequently genotyped using single strand conformational polymorphisms and restriction digest of PCR products, to identify variants in cis and in trans with one another.

      Variant: The patient is a compound heterozygote with a paternally inherited NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.418C>T (p.Gln140Ter) variant and maternally inherited NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.688G>A (p.Asp230Asn) and NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.188G>C (p.Arg63Pro) variants.

      ClinVar: 56538, 2566, 56533

      gnomAD: The maximum allele frequency of the NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.688G>A (p.Asp230Asn) variant is 0.00005437 (within the East Asian population, with no homozygous occurrences). https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-77574715-G-A The NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.418C>T (p.Gln140Ter) and NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.188G>C (p.Arg63Pro) variants are absent from gnomAD.

      VariantEvidence: Reduced CLN5 expression by 45% at the mRNA level indicates that one of the two alleles may be subject to nonsense mediated decay and likely absence of the corresponding protein product. This may confirm the prediction that the nonsense variant NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.418C>T (p.Gln140Ter) is likely subject to nonsense mediated decay. One of the two maternally inherited variants, NM_006493.4(CLN5):c.688G>A (p.Asp230Asn), has been previously shown to introduce an additional N-glycosylation site within the C-terminal region of CLN5 (PMID:20052765) and to disturb its localization to the lysosome (PMID:20052765).

    1. In addition, four patients (704, 1327, 3748, and 3773) carried mutations in BBS1, BBS7, CLN3, and INPP5E, respectively (tables 7 and ​and9).9). Mutations in these genes were known to cause syndromes that are characterised by visual impairment and other systemic features.70–72 It was also reported in some cases that these genes were associated with ‘LCA-like’ or ‘RP-like’ phenotypes without defects in other organs. 60,62,73 In our study, revisiting these patients confirmed their severe retinal degenerations without other syndromic features (see online supplementary table S1). For example, patient 704 carried a reported homozygous missense mutation in BBS gene BBS1 (table 7). This mutation segregated with disease within the family (see online supplementary table S1). Revisiting this patient at the age of 53 confirmed the ‘juvenile RP-like’ phenotypes without other syndromic features (see online supplementary table S1). However, the retinal features of this patient were consistent with those observed in other BBS patients with BBS1 mutations (see online supplementary figure S5).72 Due to these molecular findings and retinal features, we should still follow up the potential development of syndromic phenotypes in these patients.
