Novel HIVEP2 Variants in Patients with Intellectual Disability.


ABSTRACT: Intellectual disability (ID) occurs in approximately 1% of the population. Over the last years, broad sequencing approaches such as whole exome sequencing (WES) substantially contributed to the definition of the molecular defects underlying nonsyndromic ID. Pathogenic variants in HIVEP2, which encodes the human immunodeficiency virus type I enhancer binding protein 2, have recently been reported as a cause of ID, developmental delay, behavioral disorders, and dysmorphic features. HIVEP2 serves as a transcriptional factor regulating NF-?B and diverse genes that are essential in neural development. To date, only 8 patients with pathogenic de novo nonsense or frameshift variants and 1 patient with a pathogenic missense variant in HIVEP2 have been reported. By WES, we identified 2 novel truncating HIVEP2 variants, c.6609_6616delTGAGGGTC (p.Glu2204*) and c.6667C>T (p.Arg2223*), in 2 young adults presenting with developmental delay and mild ID without any dysmorphic features, systemic malformations, or behavioral issues.
