Article Synopsis
  • DExD/H-box RNA helicases (DDX/DHX) are a large gene family linked to neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer, with DHX9 being a key member associated with various phenotypes.
  • Analysis of individuals with rare DHX9 variants revealed a range of neurodevelopmental disorder traits and the genetic basis for these phenotypes correlated with the type of variant.
  • Experimental investigations showed that DHX9 variants impact its cellular localization and function, linking them to conditions like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and highlighting DHX9's role in neurodevelopment and neuronal stability.

The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex subunit 10 (EMC10) is a highly conserved protein responsible for the post-translational insertion of tail-anchored membrane proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum in a defined topology. Two biallelic variants in EMC10 have previously been associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder. Utilizing exome sequencing and international data sharing we have identified 10 affected individuals from six independent families with five new biallelic loss-of-function and one previously reported recurrent EMC10 variants.
