Abstract

PurposeHeterozygous variants in BCL11A underlie an intellectual developmental disorder with persistence of fetal hemoglobin (BCL11A-IDD, a.k.a. Dias-Logan syndrome). We sought to delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of BCL11A-IDD.MethodsWe performed an in-depth analysis of 42 patients with BCL11A-IDD ascertained through a collaborative network of clinical and research colleagues. We also reviewed 33 additional affected individuals previously reported in the literature or available through public repositories with clinical information.ResultsMolecular and clinical data analysis of 75 patients with BCL11A-IDD identified 60 unique variants (30 frameshift, 7 missense, 6 splice-site, 17 stop-gain) and 8 unique CNVs (microdeletions involving BCL11A only). We redefined the most frequent manifestations of the condition: intellectual disability, hypotonia, behavioral abnormalities, postnatal microcephaly and autism spectrum disorder. Two thirds of patients have brain MRI abnormalities, and we identified a recurrent posterior fossa phenotype of vermian hypoplasia and/or small brainstem. Truncating BCL11A variants, particularly those affecting the long (BCL11A-L) and extra-long (-XL) isoforms, sparing the short (-S) isoform, were associated with increased severity.ConclusionsWe expand the clinical delineation of BCL11A-IDD and identify a potential isoform-specific genotype-phenotype correlation. We show that BCL11A-IDD is associated with posterior fossa anomalies and highlight the differences between BCL11A-IDD and 2p16.1p15 microdeletion syndrome.

Abstract

SMARCA4 encodes a central ATPase subunit in the BRG1-/BRM-associated factors (BAF) or polybromo-associated BAF (PBAF) complex in humans, which is responsible in part for chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. Variants in this and other genes encoding BAF/PBAF complexes have been implicated in Coffin–Siris Syndrome, a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome classically characterized by learning and developmental differences, coarse facial features, hypertrichosis, and underdevelopment of the fifth digits/nails of the hands and feet. Individuals with SMARCA4 variants have been previously reported and appear to display a variable phenotype. We describe here a cohort of 15 unrelated individuals with SMARCA4 variants from the Coffin–Siris syndrome/BAF pathway disorders registry who further display variability in severity and degrees of learning impairment and health issues. Within this cohort, we also report two individuals with novel nonsense variants who appear to have a phenotype of milder learning/behavioral differences and no organ-system involvement.
