Purpose

A few de novo missense variants in the cytoplasmic FMRP-interacting protein 2 (CYFIP2) gene have recently been described as a novel cause of severe intellectual disability, seizures, and hypotonia in 18 individuals, with p.Arg87 substitutions in the majority.

Methods

We assembled data from 19 newly identified and all 18 previously published individuals with CYFIP2 variants. By structural modeling and investigation of WAVE-regulatory complex (WRC)-mediated actin polymerization in six patient fibroblast lines we assessed the impact of CYFIP2 variants on the WRC.

Results

Sixteen of 19 individuals harbor two previously described and 11 novel (likely) disease-associated missense variants. We report p.Asp724 as second mutational hotspot (4/19 cases). Genotype–phenotype correlation confirms a consistently severe phenotype in p.Arg87 patients but a more variable phenotype in p.Asp724 and other substitutions. Three individuals with milder phenotypes carry putative loss-of-function variants, which remain of unclear pathogenicity. Structural modeling predicted missense variants to disturb interactions within the WRC or impair CYFIP2 stability. Consistent with its role in WRC-mediated actin polymerization we substantiate aberrant regulation of the actin cytoskeleton in patient fibroblasts.

Conclusion

Our study expands the clinical and molecular spectrum of CYFIP2-related neurodevelopmental disorder and provides evidence for aberrant WRC-mediated actin dynamics as contributing cellular pathomechanism.

对新型 CYFIP2 相关神经发育障碍和 WRC 介导的肌动蛋白动力学损害的临床和分子谱的新见解

目的

细胞质 FMRP 相互作用蛋白 2 ( CYFIP2 ) 基因中的一些从头错义变体最近被描述为 18 人严重智力残疾、癫痫发作和肌张力减退的新原因,其中大多数是 p.Arg87 取代。

方法

我们收集了来自 19 名新发现的和所有 18 名先前发表的具有CYFIP2变体的个体的数据。通过对六种患者成纤维细胞系中 WAVE 调节复合物 (WRC) 介导的肌动蛋白聚合的结构建模和研究,我们评估了CYFIP2变体对 WRC 的影响。

结果

19 人中有 16 人携带两种先前描述的和 11 种新的(可能的)疾病相关的错义变体。我们将 p.Asp724 报告为第二个突变热点(4/19 例)。基因型 - 表型相关性证实了 p.Arg87 患者的一致严重表型,但 p.Asp724 和其他替代的表型变化更大。三名具有较轻表型的个体携带假定的功能丧失变异体,其致病性仍不清楚。结构建模预测错义变异会干扰 WRC 内的相互作用或损害 CYFIP2 的稳定性。与其在 WRC 介导的肌动蛋白聚合中的作用一致,我们证实了患者成纤维细胞中肌动蛋白细胞骨架的异常调节。

结论

我们的研究扩展了CYFIP2相关神经发育障碍的临床和分子谱,并为异常 WRC 介导的肌动蛋白动力学作为细胞病理机制的贡献提供了证据。
