DNA Polymerase Epsilon Deficiency Causes IMAGe Syndrome with Variable Immunodeficiency

During genome replication, polymerase epsilon (Pol ε) acts as the major leading-strand DNA polymerase. Here we report the identification of biallelic mutations in POLE, encoding the Pol ε catalytic subunit POLE1, in 15 individuals from 12 families. Phenotypically, these individuals had clinical features closely resembling IMAGe syndrome (intrauterine growth restriction [IUGR], metaphyseal dysplasia, adrenal hypoplasia congenita, and genitourinary anomalies in males), a disorder previously associated with gain-of-function mutations in CDKN1C. POLE1-deficient individuals also exhibited distinctive facial features and variable immune dysfunction with evidence of lymphocyte deficiency. All subjects shared the same intronic variant (c.1686+32C>G) as part of a common haplotype, in combination with different loss-of-function variants in trans. The intronic variant alters splicing, and together the biallelic mutations lead to cellular deficiency of Pol ε and delayed S-phase progression. In summary, we establish POLE as a second gene in which mutations cause IMAGe syndrome. These findings add to a growing list of disorders due to mutations in DNA replication genes that manifest growth restriction alongside adrenal dysfunction and/or immunodeficiency, consolidating these as replisome phenotypes and highlighting a need for future studies to understand the tissue-specific development roles of the encoded proteins.

DNA replication is a fundamental cellular process necessary to ensure the faithful transmission of genetic information. In eukaryotes, three highly conserved DNA polymerases, polymerase epsilon, delta, and alpha, act in concert at the replication fork. Polymerase epsilon (Pol ε) is the major enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the leading strand1Burgers P.M.J. Kunkel T.A. Eukaryotic DNA replication fork.Annu. Rev.

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 48 individuals with microcephalic primordial dwarfism identified heterozygous POLE (GenBank: NM_006231.3) loss-of-function (LoF) variants in three subjects (P1, P3, P4; Table 1). These LoF variants were significantly enriched in our cohort compared to a control WGS dataset (GnomAD,12Lek M. Karczewski K.J. Minikel E.V. Samocha K.E. Banks E. Fennell T. O’Donnell-Luria A.H.

As these variants were present in the unaffected parents, the WGS data were further evaluated and a second rare intronic variant in POLE identified, c.1686+32C>G (dbSNP: rs762985435). This was present in trans with the LoF mutation in all three probands (Table 1). Targeted sequencing of POLE and interrogation of existing whole-exome sequencing (WES) data in additional cases of primordial dwarfism identified five additional subjects compound heterozygous for LoF alleles and the c.1686+32C>G variant (P5–P9, Table 1). Notably, a clinical diagnosis of IMAGe syndrome (GeneReviews in Web Resources) (MIM: 614732) had been considered in individuals P1 and P3, with adrenal failure also reported in P5, P6, and P7. We therefore investigated cases of IMAGe syndrome drawn from other cohorts without an existing molecular diagnosis (i.e., CDKN1C mutation negative). These included three previously published IMAGe-affected case subjects.13Tan T.Y. Jameson J.L. Campbell P.E. Ekert P.G. Zacharin M. Savarirayan R.

In P10 a missense variant (c.3019G>C) encoding a p.Ala1007Pro substitution was found, at a residue conserved to yeast (Figure S1) within the polymerase domain of the protein (Figure 1).

Phenotypically, affected individuals had severe growth failure of prenatal onset (Figure 2, Table S2). IUGR was present in all case subjects (birth weight was −3.0 ± 0.8 SD) with significant short stature evident postnatally (height −8.1 ± 2.4 SD). While head circumference was also significantly reduced (OFC −5.4 ± 1.5 SD), this was less severe, resulting in a relative macrocephaly. Those affected had a common facial appearance with micrognathia, crowded dentition, long thin nose, short wide neck, and small, low-set, posteriorly rotated ears (Figure 2). 12 individuals had adrenal insufficiency and all affected males had genitourinary abnormalities including bilateral cryptorchidism and/or hypospadias, with the majority of case subjects fulfilling clinical criteria for IMAGe syndrome (GeneReviews in Web Resources; Table 2, Table S3, Supplemental Note). Osteopenia and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) were frequently observed and café-au-lait patches were notably present in a third of individuals.Table 2Individuals with Biallelic Mutations in POLE Were Clinically Diagnosed with Primordial Dwarfism and Features of IMAGe SyndromeIDFamSexAgeIM+SIAGe−IOther FeaturesP11M18YYYYYscoliosis, osteopenia, small patella, seizures, gastrostomy, eczemaP21F1YYY–Y–P32M7YYYYYmidline accessory incisor, osteopenia, infant eczemaP43F50YYN–YIgM paraproteinaemiaP54M12YNAYYYhypopituitarism, T cell lymphoma, gastrostomy, absent patellaP65F10YYY–Ybilat coxa valga, 11 ribs, 6 lumbar vertebrae, scoliosis, gastrostomy, infant eczemaP76M13YYYYNhypopituitarism, atrial septal defect, brachydactyly, gastrostomyP87M3YYNYYDDH, gastrostomyP97F2YYN–YDDH, gastrostomyP108F39YYY–NDDH, 11 ribs, clinodactyly, osteopenia, café au lait patchesP119F0.2YNAY–Ycafé au lait patchP129F12YYY–N–P1310M22YYYYNDDH, café au lait patchP1411F18YYY–Ygastrostomy, hypercalaemia in infancy, café au lait patches, DDH, kyphoscoliosisP1512M31YNAYYYcafé au lait patches, seizures, osteopenia, osteoporosis, nodular sclerosis, Hodgkin’s lymphomaAbbreviations: ID, individual number; Fam, family number; I, intrauterine growth restriction; M+SI, skeletal involvement: metaphyseal dysplasia or other skeletal abnormalities reported in CDKN1C IMAGe-affected individuals (NA, not assessed); A, adrenal insufficiency; Ge, genitourinary abnormalities in males (– female, genitourinary anomalies not applicable); −I, immunodeficiency, either increased susceptibility to infections or DDH, developmental dysplasia of the for clinical data and Open table in a new tab Abbreviations: ID, individual number; Fam, family number; I, intrauterine growth restriction; M+SI, skeletal involvement: metaphyseal dysplasia or other skeletal abnormalities reported in CDKN1C IMAGe-affected individuals (NA, not assessed); A, adrenal insufficiency; Ge, genitourinary abnormalities in males (– female, genitourinary anomalies not applicable); −I, immunodeficiency, either increased susceptibility to infections or DDH, developmental dysplasia of the for clinical data and intronic variant in POLE previously been reported to be associated with immunodeficiency, and short stature immunodeficiency, and short stature, syndrome J.
