Phenotypes

Sartelet et al. (2012) identified the causative mutation as a "c124-­2A>G splice variant in intron 1 of the RNF11 gene". This gene encodes RING finger protein 11, which is a key regulator in the A20 complex of the inflammatory response.

Using targeted DNA capture and massively parallel resequencing of the 1.2 Mb region that contained 24 genes, Testoni et al. (2012) identified a causal mutation as a "KDM2B missense mutation (c.2503G>A) leading to an amino acid exchange (p.D835N) in an evolutionary strongly conserved domain". As the same authors report, "The KDM2B gene (also known as JHDM1B and FBXL10) encodes a histone H3 lysine 36 dimethyl (H3K36me2)-specific demethylase ....

Duchesne et al. (2017) identified SNPs in the mapped candidate region by comparison of whole-genome sequence of two homozygous affecteds, one heterozygote and one homozygote normal. Filtering of those SNPs by consistency with presumed genotype based on pedigree, with occurrence only within this breed, and by severity of presumed function enabled Duchesne et al. (2017) to identifiy a "C/T SLC25A46 substitution [c.376C>T that] leads to replac...
