De novo variants in RYBP are associated with a severe neurodevelopmental disorder and congenital anomalies

Purpose - Polycomb group proteins are key epigenetic transcriptional regulators. Multiple neurodevelopmental disorders are associated with pathogenic variants of the genes encoding Polycomb group proteins. RYBP is a core component of the noncanonical Polycomb Repressor Complex 1; however, its role i...

Description
Summary:Purpose - Polycomb group proteins are key epigenetic transcriptional regulators. Multiple neurodevelopmental disorders are associated with pathogenic variants of the genes encoding Polycomb group proteins. RYBP is a core component of the noncanonical Polycomb Repressor Complex 1; however, its role in disease is unclear. - Methods - Functional consequences of RYBP variants were assessed using in vitro cellular and in vivo Drosophila melanogaster studies. - Results - We described 7 individuals with heterozygous de novo variants of RYBP and their clinical findings, including severe developmental delay, dysmorphisms, and multiple congenital anomalies. We showed that all single-nucleotide variants in RYBP localize to the N-terminal domain of the gene, which encodes the zinc-finger domain and ubiquitin-binding moiety. In vitro studies have demonstrated that the RYBP c.132C>G p.(Cys44Trp) variant causes reduced protein expression but does not affect the binding of YY1, RING1B, or ubiquitin. In vivo overexpression studies in Drosophila melanogaster showed a dramatic functional difference between human RYBP and its variant forms, affecting the C44 amino acid residue. DNA methylation studies suggested a possible episignature associated with RYBP-related disorder. - Conclusion - Heterozygous de novo variants in RYBP are associated with an identifiable syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder with multiple congenital anomalies.
