Impact of genetic and non-genetic factors on phenotypic diversity in NBAS-associated disease. Mol Genet Metab 2024; 141:108118. [PMID: 38244286 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgme.2023.108118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
Biallelic pathogenic variants in neuroblastoma-amplified sequence (NBAS) cause a pleiotropic multisystem disorder. Three clinical subgroups have been defined correlating with the localisation of pathogenic variants in the NBAS gene: variants affecting the C-terminal region of NBAS result in SOPH syndrome (short stature, optic atrophy, Pelger-Huët anomaly), variants affecting the Sec 39 domain are associated with infantile liver failure syndrome type 2 (ILFS2) and variants affecting the ß-propeller domain give rise to a combined phenotype. However, there is still unexplained phenotypic diversity across the three subgroups, challenging the current concept of genotype-phenotype correlations in NBAS-associated disease. Therefore, besides examining the genetic influence, we aim to elucidate the potential impact of pre-symptomatic diagnosis, emergency management and other modifying variables on the clinical phenotype. We investigated genotype-phenotype correlations in individuals sharing the same genotypes (n = 30 individuals), and in those sharing the same missense variants with a loss-of-function variant in trans (n = 38 individuals). Effects of a pre-symptomatic diagnosis and emergency management on the severity of acute liver failure (ALF) episodes also were analysed, comparing liver function tests (ALAT, ASAT, INR) and mortality. A strong genotype-phenotype correlation was demonstrated in individuals sharing the same genotype; this was especially true for the ILFS2 subgroup. Genotype-phenotype correlation in patients sharing only one missense variant was still high, though at a lower level. Pre-symptomatic diagnosis in combination with an emergency management protocol leads to a trend of reduced severity of ALF. High genetic impact on clinical phenotype in NBAS-associated disease facilitates monitoring and management of affected patients sharing the same genotype. Pre-symptomatic diagnosis and an emergency management protocol do not prevent ALF but may reduce its clinical severity.

Abstract
Since the first report of SOPH syndrome among the Yakut population in 2010, new clinical data of SOPH-like conditions continue to appear. We expand the phenotypic spectrum of SOPH syndrome and perform a comparative analysis of Yakut SOPH patients' clinical data with SOPH-like conditions reported in the world scientific literature to form a foundation for NBAS pathogenesis discussion. Clinical data from the genetic records of 93 patients with SOPH syndrome and global survey data on patients with pathogenic variants of the C-terminal in the NBAS gene were collected. A detailed phenotype description of patients is presented with a total number of 111 individuals. Underweight below the fifth centile and prone to delayed bone age in Yakut SOPH patients are retrospectively observed. We outline the short stature with optic atrophy as the leading phenotyping trait for C-terminal NBAS patients. The pathophysiology and patients management of SOPH-like conditions are discussed.

Genome-first approach for the characterization of a complex phenotype with combined NBAS and CUL4B deficiency. Bone 2020; 140:115571.

Abstract
Biallelic variants in neuroblastoma-amplified sequence (NBAS) cause an extremely broad spectrum of phenotypes. Clinical features range from isolated recurrent episodes of liver failure to multisystemic syndrome including short stature, skeletal osteopenia and dysplasia, optic atrophy, and a variable immunological, cutaneous, muscular, and neurological abnormalities. Hemizygous variants in CUL4B cause syndromic X-linked intellectual disability characterized by limitations in intellectual functions, developmental delays in gait, cognitive, and speech functioning, and other features including short stature, dysmorphism, and cerebral malformations. In this study, we report on a 4.5-month-old preterm infant with a complex phenotype mainly characterized by placental-related severe intrauterine growth restriction, post-natal growth failure with spontaneous bone fractures, which led to a suspicion of osteogenesis imperfecta, and lethal bronchopulmonary dysplasia with pulmonary hypertension. Whole exome sequencing identified compound heterozygosity for a known frameshift and a novel missense variant in NBAS and hemizygosity for a known CUL4B nonsense mutation. In vitro functional studies on the novel NBAS missense substitution demonstrated altered Golgi-to-endoplasmic reticulum retrograde vesicular trafficking and reduced collagen secretion, likely explaining part of the patient's phenotype. We also provided a comprehensive overview of the phenotypic features of NBAS and CUL4B deficiency, thus updating the recently emerging NBAS genotype-phenotype correlations. Our findings highlight the power of a genome-first approach for an early diagnosis of complex phenotypes.

Hepatol Res 2020; 50:1306-1315. [PMID: 32812336 DOI: 10.1111/hepr.13559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2020] [Revised: 07/12/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
AIM Neuroblastoma amplified sequence (NBAS)-associated disease has a wide phenotypic spectrum, including infantile liver failure syndrome type 2 (ILFS2, OMIM #616483), short stature with optic nerve atrophy and Pelger-Huët anomaly (SOPH) syndrome (OMIM #614800), and a combined phenotype overlapping ILFS2 and SOPH syndrome. The mutation spectra of NBAS and its genotype-phenotype correlation among Chinese were not clear. METHODS Clinical and genetic data were retrospectively collected from the medical charts of patients with biallelic NBAS mutations, as well as from Chinese patients in previously published reports. RESULTS Fourteen new patients were identified, including 10 novel mutations: c.648-1G>A, c.2563_c.2577+5del/p.His855_Gln859del, c.3115C>T/p.Gln1039Ter, c.3284G>A/p.Trp1095Ter, c.2570C>T/p.Ala857Val, c.6859G>T/p.Asp2287Tyr, c.1028G>A/p.Ser343Asn, c.1177_1182delinsAGATAGA/p.Val393ArgfsTer2, c.3432_3435dupCAGT/p.Ala1146GlnfsTer14, and c.680_690dupACTGTTTCAGC/p.Phe231ThrfsTer35. All 14 patients presented as fever-triggered liver injury, including nine patients that satisfied the criteria of acute liver failure (ALF) in whom c.3596G>A/p.Cys1199Tyr occurred five times. Nine patients had extrahepatic manifestations including short stature, skeletal abnormalities, intellectual disability, ophthalmic abnormalities, low levels of serum immunoglobulins, facial dysmorphism, and cardiac abnormalities. Ten other Chinese patients were collected through a review of published works. Genotype-phenotype analysis in 24 Chinese patients revealed that the percentage of ALF patients with variants in the Sec39 domain was significantly higher than that in the C-terminal (100% vs. 12.5%, P = 0.000), and the percentage of multi-organ/system involvement in patients with variants in the Sec39 domain was significantly lower than that in the C-terminal (40% vs. 100%, P = 0.0128). CONCLUSIONS We reported 14 new patients, 10 novel mutations, and a unique recurrent mutation. Correlation analysis indicated that the domain of missense and non-frameshift insertion/deletion mutations in NBAS protein is related to phenotype among Chinese patients.

Abstract
Cutis laxa (CL) syndromes comprise a rare group of multisystem disorders that share loose redundant skin folds as hallmark clinical feature. CL results from impaired elastic fiber assembly and homeostasis, and the known underlying gene defects affect different extracellular matrix proteins, intracellular trafficking, or cellular metabolism. Due to the underlying clinical and molecular heterogeneity, the diagnostic work-up of CL patients is often challenging. In this review, we provide a practical approach to the broad differential diagnosis of CL syndromes, provide an overview of the molecular pathogenesis of the different subtypes, and suggest general management guidelines.

Abstract
Biallelic neuroblastoma amplified sequence (NBAS) gene mutations have recently been identified to cause a reduction in its protein expression and a broad phenotypic spectrum, from isolated short stature, optic nerve atrophy, and Pelger-Huët anomaly (SOPH) syndrome or infantile liver failure syndrome 2 to a combined, multi-systemic disease including skeletal dysplasia and immunological and neurological abnormalities. Herein, we report a 34-year-old patient with a range of phenotypes for NBAS deficiency due to compound heterozygous variants; one is a SOPH-specific variant, p.Arg1914His, and the other is a novel splice site variant, c.6433-2A>G. The patient experienced recurrent acute liver failure until early childhood. Hypogammaglobulinemia, a decrease in natural killer cells, and optic nerve atrophy were evident from infancy to childhood. In adulthood, the patient exhibited novel phenotypic features such as hepatic cirrhosis complicated by portal hypertension and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The patient also suffered from childhood-onset insulin-requiring diabetes with progressive beta cell dysfunction. The patient had severe short stature and exhibited dysmorphic features compatible with SOPH, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. NBAS protein expression in the patient's fibroblasts was severely low. RNA expression analysis for the c.6433-2A>G variant showed that this variant activated two cryptic splice sites in intron 49 and exon 50, for which the predicted consequences at the protein level were an in-frame deletion/insertion, p.(Ile2199_Asn2202delins16), and a premature termination codon, p.(Ile2199Tyrfs*17), respectively. These findings indicate that NBAS deficiency is a multi-systemic progressive disease. The results of this study extend the spectrum of clinical and genetic findings related to NBAS deficiency.

Am J Med Genet A 2020; 182:1767-1775.

Abstract
Autosomal recessive SOPH syndrome was first described in the Yakuts population of Asia by Maksimova et al. in 2010. It arises from biallelic pathogenic variants in the NBAS gene and is characterized by severe postnatal growth retardation, senile facial appearance, small hands and feet, optic atrophy with loss of visual acuity and color vision, and normal intelligence (OMIM #614800). The presence of Pelger-Hüet anomaly in this disorder led to its name as an acronym for Short stature, Optic nerve atrophy, and Pelger-Hüet anomaly. Recent publications have further contributed to the characterization of this syndrome through additional phenotype-genotype correlations. We review the clinical features described in these publications and report on a 27-year-old woman with dwarfism with osteolysis and multiple skeletal problems, minor anomalies, immunodeficiency, diabetes mellitus, and multiple secondary medical problems. Her condition was considered an unknown autosomal recessive disorder for many years until exome sequencing provided the diagnosis by revealing a founder disease-causing variant that was compound heterozygous with a novel pathogenic variant in NBAS. Based on the major clinical features of this individual and others reported earlier, a revision of the acronym is warranted to facilitate clinical recognition.

Abstract
Objectives: Mutations in the neuroblastoma-amplified sequence (NBAS) gene were originally described in patients with skeletal dysplasia or isolated liver disease of variable severity. Subsequent publications reported a more complex phenotype. Among multisystemic clinical symptoms, we were particularly interested in the immunological consequences of the NBAS deficiency. Methods: Clinical and laboratory data of 3 patients ages 13, 6, and 5 in whom bi-allelic NBAS mutations had been detected via next-generation sequencing were characterized. Literature review of 23 publications describing 74 patients was performed. Results: We report three Russian patients with compound heterozygous mutations of the NBAS gene who had combined immunodeficiency characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia, low T-cells, and near-absent B-cells, along with liver disease, skeletal dysplasia, optic-nerve atrophy, and dysmorphic features. Analysis of the data of 74 previously reported patients who carried various NBAS mutations demonstrated that although the most severe form of liver disease seems to require disruption of the N-terminal or middle part of NBAS, mutations of variable localizations in the gene have been associated with some form of liver disease, as well as immunological disorders. Conclusions: NBAS deficiency has a broad phenotype, and referral to an immunologist should be made in order to screen for immunodeficiency.
