Genes affected
METTL23 (HGNC:26988): (methyltransferase 23, arginine) The protein encoded by this gene functions as a transcription factor regulator in the transcriptional pathway for human cognition. It is a partner of the alpha subunit of the GA-binding protein transcription factor. Mutations in this gene cause mild autosomal recessive intellectual disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterJul 03, 2020- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteFeb 02, 2022Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with METTL23-related intellectual disability (MIM#615942). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a recessive condition (26 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0702 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. These variants have been classified as pathogenic, and observed in individuals with METTL23-related intellectual disability (ClinVar, LOVD, PMID: 24626631). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported multiple times as pathogenic, and observed in a family with intellectual disability (ClinVar, PMID: 24501276). (SP) 0901 - This variant has strong evidence for segregation with disease. This variant has segregated in seven homozygous individuals within a single family (PMID: 24501276). (SP) 1102 - Strong phenotype match for this individual. (SP) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoJun 27, 2019DNA sequence analysis of the METTL23 gene demonstrated a 4 base pair deletion in exon 3, c.169_172del. This sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon 10 amino acids downstream of the mutation, p.His57Valfs*11 (NM_001080510.3). This sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated METTL23 protein with potentially abnormal function. The METTL23 gene has 10 different transcripts and this sequence change is present in 6 of the 10 transcripts. In the remaining 4 transcripts, the variant falls within a non-coding region. This sequence change was identified in the homozygous state in multiple individuals with intellectual disability and dysmorphic features in a large, consanguineous family of Yemeni origin (PMID: 24501276). The c.169_172del sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a population frequency of 0.0097% (dbSNP rs1175461719); however, it has not been observed in the homozygous state in any individuals. These collective evidences indicate that this sequence change is likely pathogenic, however functional studies have not been performed to prove this conclusively. -
