MN1 encodes a transcriptional co-regulator without homology to other proteins, previously implicated in acute myeloid leukaemia and development of the palate. Large deletions encompassing MN1 have been reported in individuals with variable neurodevelopmental anomalies and non-specific facial features. We identified a cluster of de novo truncating mutations in MN1 in a cohort of 23 individuals with strikingly similar dysmorphic facial features, especially midface hypoplasia, and intellectual disability with severe expressive language delay. Imaging revealed an atypical form of rhombencephalosynapsis, a distinctive brain malformation characterized by partial or complete loss of the cerebellar vermis with fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres, in 8/10 individuals. Rhombencephalosynapsis has no previously known definitive genetic or environmental causes. Other frequent features included perisylvian polymicrogyria, abnormal posterior clinoid processes and persistent trigeminal artery. MN1 is encoded by only two exons. All mutations, including the recurrent variant p.Arg1295* observed in 8/21 probands, fall in the terminal exon or the extreme 3' region of exon 1, and are therefore predicted to result in escape from nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This was confirmed in fibroblasts from three individuals. We propose that the condition described here, MN1 C-terminal truncation (MCTT) syndrome, is not due to MN1 haploinsufficiency but rather is the result of dominantly acting C-terminally truncated MN1 protein. Our data show that MN1 plays a critical role in human craniofacial and brain development, and opens the door to understanding the biological mechanisms underlying rhombencephalosynapsis.

MN1 C端截断综合征是一种新型的神经发育和颅面部疾病,伴有部分菱形脑突触。

MN1编码与其他蛋白质没有同源性的转录共调节子,以前与急性髓细胞性白血病和上颚发展有关。在具有可变神经发育异常和非特异性面部特征的个体中,已经报道了包含MN1的大缺失。我们在23名具有惊人相似的畸形面部特征,尤其是中面发育不全和严重语言表达迟缓的智力残疾的人群中,发现了MN1中的从头截短突变簇。影像学显示非典型形式的菱形脑突触,这是一种独特的脑畸形,其特征是在8/10个个体中,小脑mis部部分或全部消失,小脑半球融合。菱形脑突触没有先前确定的遗传或环境原因。其他常见的特征包括周围神经周围的多微球菌症,异常的后斜突和持续的三叉神经动脉。MN1仅由两个外显子编码。所有突变,包括在8/21先证者中观察到的复发变异p.Arg1295 *,均落在外显子的末端外显子或3'端极端区域,因此预计会导致无义介导的mRNA衰变逃逸。在来自三个个体的成纤维细胞中证实了这一点。我们建议这里描述的条件,MN1 C端截断(MCTT)综合征,不是由于MN1单倍体功能不全,而是由于主要作用于C端截短的MN1蛋白。我们的数据表明,MN1在人类颅面和大脑发育中起着至关重要的作用,
