Purpose

To delineate the genotype–phenotype correlation in individuals with likely pathogenic variants in the CLTC gene.

Methods

We describe 13 individuals with de novo CLTC variants. Causality of variants was determined by using the tolerance landscape of CLTC and computer-assisted molecular modeling where applicable. Phenotypic abnormalities observed in the individuals identified with missense and in-frame variants were compared with those with nonsense or frameshift variants in CLTC.

Results

All de novo variants were judged to be causal. Combining our data with that of 14 previously reported affected individuals (n = 27), all had intellectual disability (ID), ranging from mild to moderate/severe, with or without additional neurologic, behavioral, craniofacial, ophthalmologic, and gastrointestinal features. Microcephaly, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, and epilepsy were more frequently observed in individuals with missense and in-frame variants than in those with nonsense and frameshift variants. However, this difference was not significant.

Conclusions

The wide phenotypic variability associated with likely pathogenic CLTC variants seems to be associated with allelic heterogeneity. The detailed clinical characterization of a larger cohort of individuals with pathogenic CLTC variants is warranted to support the hypothesis that missense and in-frame variants exert a dominant-negative effect, whereas the nonsense and frameshift variants would result in haploinsufficiency.

从头 CLTC 变异与从轻度到重度智力障碍、小头畸形、胼胝体发育不全和癫痫的可变表型相关

目的

描述CLTC基因中可能存在致病性变异的个体的基因型-表型相关性。

方法

我们描述了 13 个具有新发 CLTC变体的个体。变异的因果关系通过使用CLTC的耐受性景观和适用的计算机辅助分子建模来确定。将在识别为错义和框内变异的个体中观察到的表型异常与在CLTC中具有无义或移码变异的个体进行比较。

结果

所有从头变体都被判断为因果关系。将我们的数据与之前报道的 14 名受影响个体 ( n  = 27) 的数据相结合,所有这些人都有智力障碍 (ID),范围从轻度到中度/重度,有或没有额外的神经、行为、颅面、眼科和胃肠道特征。小头畸形、胼胝体发育不全和癫痫在具有错义和框内变异的个体中比在具有无义和移码变异的个体中更常见。然而,这种差异并不显着。

结论

与可能的致病性CLTC变异相关的广泛表型变异性似乎与等位基因异质性有关。有必要对一大群具有致病性CLTC变异的个体进行详细的临床表征,以支持错义和框内变异发挥显性负效应的假设,而无义和移码变异会导致单倍体不足。
