Description
The copy number gain of 5q35.2q35.3 involves multiple protein-coding genes, including NSD1 (OMIM 606681), SLC34A1 (OMIM 182309), and F12 (OMIM 610619). Haploinsufficiency of NSD1 is associated with Sotos syndrome 1 (OMIM 117550). The NSD1 gene however is not currently classified as triplosensitive although it is contained within the shortest region of overlap within a larger 5q35 recurrent region associated with \reversed\" Sotos syndrome phenotype, commonly including short stature, microcephaly, delayed bone age, and developmental delay/intellectual disability. Case reports with smaller overlapping duplications of this region, and include NSD1, were described with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) and three with reverse Sotos syndrome (Kirchhoff et al., Eur J Med Genet. Jan-Feb2007;50(1):33-42. PMID: 17090394; Reis et al., Genet Mol Res. 2017Jan 23;16(1). PMID: 28128410; Sachwitz et al., Clin Genet. 2017Jan;91(1):73-78. PMID: 27172843; Rosenfeld et al., Mol Syndromol.2013 Jan;3(6):247-54. PMID: 23599694). The individual with SRS carried a de novo 381 Kb duplication. Two individuals with reverse Sotos syndrome carried de novo duplications and one carried a maternally inherited duplication. All patients had phenotypes involving growth retardation and facial anomalies. Heterozygous sequence variants of SLC34A1 and F12 are associated with autosomal dominant disorders, hypophosphatemic nephrolithiasis/osteoporosis-1 (OMIM 612286) and hereditary angioedema type III (OMIM 610618), respectively. There are no similar copy number gains of this region in the general populations of the Database of Genomic Variants. Thus, the clinical significance of this copy number variant (CNV) is likely pathogenic."
