Description
This large interstitial deletion, based on size and gene content, is expected to cause phenotypic and/or developmental abnormalities. This deletion involves numerous genes including FZD4 (OMIM 604579) and YAP1 (OMIM 606608) and DLG2 (OMIM 603583). Haploinsufficiency of FZD4 is associated with autosomal dominant familial exudative vitreoretinopathy-1 (OMIM 133780; Li et al., Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2018 Nov 1;59(13):5368-5381. PMID: 30452590; Tian et al., Mol Vis. 2019 Feb 7;25:60-69. PMID: 30820142), an inherited disorder characterized by the incomplete development of the retinal vasculature. Heterozygous sequence variants, as well as one large deletion involving YAP1 have been associated with autosomal dominant ocular coloboma with or without hearing impairment, cleft lip/palate, and/or intellectual disability (OMIM 120433; Williamson KA et al., Am J Hum Genet. 2014 Feb 6;94(2):295-302. PMID: 24462371; Holt et al., Sci Rep. 2017 Aug 11;7(1):7975. PMID: 28801591). In addition, there is emerging information suggesting deletions of this gene maybe a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders (Reggiani et al.Genome Med. 2017 Jul 19;9(1):67. PMID: 28724449; Di Gregorio et al.,Clin Genet. 2017 Oct;92(4):415-422., PMID: 28295210). Sequence variations and intragenic deletions of DLG2 are also being evaluated with regard to schizophrenia (Kushima et al., Mol Psychiatry. 2017 Mar;22(3):430-440., PMID: 27240532; Ingason et al. Transl Psychiatry. 2015 Oct 13;5:e656. PMID: 26460480; Georgieva et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2014 Dec 15;23(24):6677-83. PMID: 25055870). A single publication identified a similar de novo deletion of 11q14.2q22.1 in a 13-year-old boy with severe learning difficulties, intellectual disability and mild heart defects (Papoulidis et al., Mol Cytogenet.2015 Sep 17;8:71. PMID: 26388939). The authors summarized previously published deletions over this region of variable size and gene content. They implicated GRM5 (encompassed in this deletion) and GRIA4 (not encompassed) in association with severity of developmental delay. The other features were variable and genotype-phenotype correlation could not be established. Further, this deletion interval includes genes that are associated with autosomal dominant phenotypes: TYR (OMIM 601800), TRPC6 (OMIM 603965) and autosomal recessive phenotypes: CTSC (OMIM 245010, 245000, 170650), MRE11 (OMIM 604391), and MTMR2 (OMIM 601382).
