Abstrakt: Purpose: Hardikar syndrome (HS, MIM #301068) is a female-specific multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by retinopathy, orofacial clefting, aortic coarctation, biliary dysgenesis, genitourinary malformations, and intestinal malrotation. We previously showed that heterozygous nonsense and frameshift variants in MED12 cause HS. The phenotypic spectrum of disease and the mechanism by which MED12 variants cause disease is unknown. We aim to expand the phenotypic and molecular landscape of HS and elucidate the mechanism by which MED12 variants cause disease.
Methods: We clinically assembled and molecularly characterized a cohort of 11 previously unreported individuals with HS. Additionally, we studied the effect of MED12 deficiency on ciliary biology, hedgehog, and yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling; pathways implicated in diseases with phenotypic overlap with HS.
Results: We report novel phenotypes associated with HS, including cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, and vascular anomalies, and expand the molecular landscape of HS to include splice site variants. We additionally demonstrate that MED12 deficiency causes decreased cell ciliation, and impairs hedgehog and YAP signaling.
Conclusion: Our data support updating HS standard-of-care to include regular cardiac imaging, arrhythmia screening, and vascular imaging. We further propose that dysregulation of ciliogenesis and YAP and hedgehog signaling contributes to the pathogenesis of HS.
