Genes affected
RIPPLY2 (HGNC:21390): (ripply transcriptional repressor 2) This gene encodes a nuclear protein that belongs to a novel family of proteins required for vertebrate somitogenesis. Members of this family have a tetrapeptide WRPW motif that is required for interaction with the transcriptional repressor Groucho and a carboxy-terminal Ripply homology domain/Bowline-DSCR-Ledgerline conserved region required for transcriptional repression. Null mutant mice die soon after birth and display defects in axial skeleton segmentation due to defective somitogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

RIPPLY2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 31, 2024The RIPPLY2 c.240-4T>G variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant is not predicted to significantly impact the splice acceptor site based on available splicing prediction programs; however, it is predicted to possibly create a SRp55 exonic splice enhancer site (Alamut Visual v2.11). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state with a nonsense variant (p.Arg80*) in at least 4 individuals from two families with vertebral body malformations (McInerney-Leo et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25343988; Wegler et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33410135). The c.240-4T>G has also been reported in the homozygous state in an additional 4 individuals from 3 families with vertebral body malformations (Mokhateb-Rafii et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30420309; see Table 1, Serey-Gaut et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 32212228). For a summary of all reported patients with c.240-4T>G and clinical features observed see Table 1 in Wegler et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33410135. At PreventionGenetics, we have observed the c.240-4T>G variant in the homozygous state in two additional unrelated patients with vertebral anomalies (internal data). Functional studies via qPCR were attempted to observe a splicing defect; however, RIPPLY2 expression was unable to be detected in peripheral blood from healthy controls or patients likely due to Ripply2 expression being restricted to embryogenesis (McInerney-Leo et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25343988). This variant is reported in 0.11% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD, but no homozygotes are observed. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
