Phenotypic and biochemical analysis of an international cohort of individuals with variants in NAA10 and NAA15.

ABSTRACT: N-alpha-acetylation is one of the most common co-translational protein modifications in humans and is essential for normal cell function. NAA10 encodes for the enzyme NAA10, which is the catalytic subunit in the N-terminal acetyltransferase A (NatA) complex. The auxiliary and regulatory subunits of the NatA complex are NAA15 and Huntington-interacting protein (HYPK), respectively. Through a genotype-first approach with exome sequencing, we identified and phenotypically characterized 30 individuals from 30 unrelated families with 17 different de novo or inherited, dominantly acting missense variants in NAA10 or NAA15. Clinical features of affected individuals include variable levels of intellectual disability, delayed speech and motor milestones and autism spectrum disorder. Additionally, some subjects present with mild craniofacial dysmorphology, congenital cardiac anomalies and seizures. One of the individuals is an 11-year-old boy with a frameshift variant in exon 7 of NAA10, who presents most notably with microphthalmia, which confirms a prior finding with a single family with Lenz microphthalmia syndrome. Biochemical analyses of variants as part of the human NatA complex, as well as enzymatic analyses with and without the HYPK regulatory subunit, help to explain some of the phenotypic differences seen among the different variants.

Project description:BackgroundNAA10-related (Ogden Syndrome) and NAA15-related neurodevelopmental syndromes present with varying degrees of intellectual disability, hypotonia, congenital cardiac abnormalities, seizures, and delayed speech and motor development. While there is much data on the clinical manifestations of these conditions, there are few radiologic reports describing the neuroanatomical abnormalities present on imaging.ObjectiveOur goal was to provide neuroimaging analyses for a subset of probands with NAA10- and NAA15-related neurodevelopmental symptoms and assess severity, common radiologic anomalies, and changes over time to better understand the pathophysiology of these disease processes.Materials and methodsNeuroimaging studies from 26 probands (18 with pathogenic variants in NAA10, 8 with pathogenic variants in NAA15) were collected and analyzed. Size of the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum, as well as myelination, brain malformations, globus pallidus hyperintensity, brain lesions, 4th ventricle size, tegmentovermian angle, cisterna magna size, pituitary size, olfactory tract, palate arch, and choroid plexus abnormalities were analyzed. In depth medical histories were also collected on all probands, including genetic testing results and social, cognitive, and developmental history. The Vineland 3 Adaptive Behavior Scale was also administered to the parents to assess functional status of the probands.ResultsOn average, individuals with Ogden Syndrome had 5.7 anatomical abnormalities (standard deviation (SD) = 3.0), whereas those with NAA15 related neurodevelopmental syndrome had 2.8 (SD = 2.3) (p = .02). Probands who had more anatomical abnormalities tended to score worse on Vineland assessments, suggesting a possible correlation between the two. Structural-functional anatomic differences seen were preserved such that individuals with greater defects on, for example, motor regions of their scans tested worse on motor portions of the Vineland. Probands followed longitudinally demonstrated several changes between scans, most commonly in the cerebellum, brainstem, and degree of myelination. Such changes were only observed for probands with NAA10 variants in our cohort.ConclusionDespite clinical imaging being reported as being predominantly "normal" during routine clinical care, this analysis of a cohort of patients with NAA10-related (Ogden Syndrome) and NAA15-related neurodevelopmental syndrome by one neuroradiologist has established a range of subtle abnormalities. We hope these findings guide future research and diagnostic studies for this patient population.
