Biallelic loss-of-function variants in the centriolar protein CCP110 leads to a ciliopathy-like phenotype.
European journal of medical genetics(2024)
Abstract
CCP110 (centriolar coiled coil protein 110, also known as CP110) is one of the essential proteins localized in the centrosome that plays critical roles in the regulation of the cell cycle and also in the initiation of ciliogenesis. So far, no human congenital disorders have been identified to be associated with pathogenic variants of CCP110. Mice with biallelic loss-of-function variants of Ccp110 (Ccp110-/-) are known to manifest multiple organ defects, including a small body size, polydactyly, omphalocele, congenital heart defects, cleft palate, short ribs, and a small thoracic cage, a pattern of abnormalities closely resembling that in "ciliopathies" in humans. Herein, we report a 7-month-old male infant who presented with growth failure and skeletal abnormalities, including a narrow thorax and severe brachydactyly. Trio exome analysis of the genomic DNA of the patient and his parents showed that the patient was a compound heterozygote for truncating variants of CCP110, including a frameshift variant NM_001323572.2:c.856_857del, p.(Val286Leufs*5) inherited from the father, and a nonsense variant NM_001323572.2:c.1129C>T, p.(Arg377*) inherited from the mother. The strikingly similar pattern of malformations between Ccp110-/- mice and the 7-month-old male infant reported herein carrying unequivocal truncating CCP110 variants strongly supports the contention that CCP110 is a novel disease-causative gene.
