“…In humans, most of the heterozygous de novo missense variants that have been identified result in 'gain of function' and hyperactivity of the protease (Hoffmann et al, 2020). Mutations in human FAM111A are associated with Kenny-Caffey Syndrome, type 2 (KCS2, OMIM #127000), in which patients exhibit increased bone density, growth retardation, macrocephaly, facial dysmorphism, hypoparathyroidism, and electrolyte imbalances, including hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia (Isojima et al, 2014;Abraham et al, 2017) or Gracile Bone Dysplasia/ Osteocraniostenosis (GCLEB/OCS, OMIM #602361), characterized by skeletal/craniofacial malformations, and perinatal lethality (Unger et al, 2013;Muller et al, 2021;Rosato et al, 2022).…”
