A systematic, large-scale resequencing screen of X-chromosome coding exons in mental retardation

Abstract: Large-scale systematic resequencing has been proposed as the key future strategy for the discovery of rare, disease-causing sequence variants across the spectrum of human complex disease. We have sequenced the coding exons of the X chromosome in 208 families with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR), the largest direct screen for constitutional disease-causing mutations thus far reported. The screen has discovered nine genes implicated in XLMR, including SYP, ZNF711 and CASK reported here, confirming the power o… Show more

“…The phenotype associated with SYP loss of function appears to be non-syndromic intellectual disability. 16 This variant is not reported in public databases, but two hemizygotes for a different change at the same residue, p.Glu72Lys, are recorded in gnomAD. 15 Furthermore, the composite REVEL score is low (0.232), suggesting that the variant is likely to be non-damaging.…”

“…It is more common in males (an excess of about 30%) [1] because of the high incidence of mutations in genes located on the X chromosome that together explain 10e12% of MR in males [2]. More than 80 X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) genes have so far been identified [3,4]. XLMR has been classified into syndromic and nonsyndromic forms, depending on whether the MR is associated with other clinical, radiological or metabolic features or not, but this subdivision appears unsatisfactory since many genes are involved in both forms [2,5].…”

“…In excess of 215 XLMR conditions have been recorded (http://xlmr.interfree.it/home.htm and http://www.ggc.org/xlmr.htm) and 90 XLMR genes have been identified. 3,4 Genes for 87 conditions have been mapped by linkage analysis and/or cytogenetic breakpoints, but for 38 conditions, genes have been neither identified nor mapped to candidate loci. In addition, more than 300 X-linked protein-coding genes are expressed in brain tissue, suggesting that many XLMR genes remain to be unidentified.…”

“…In addition, more than 300 X-linked protein-coding genes are expressed in brain tissue, suggesting that many XLMR genes remain to be unidentified. 5 Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) has revealed copy-number variations (CNVs) to be the cause of MR. [6][7][8] Although Tarpey et al 4 screened for mutations in the coding regions of 718 genes on the X chromosome in probands from 208 families by means of resequencing, only three XLMR-associated genes have been identified, suggesting structural variations other than point mutations, including CNVs or variants in regulatory regions, to contribute to unidentified XLMR conditions.…”
