Propionic acidemia (PA) in the Amish is caused by a homozygous pathogenic variant (c.1606A>G; p.Asn536Asp) in the gene.

Autoimmune Disease, Multisystem, with Facial Dysmorphism (ADMFD) is an autosomal recessive disorder due to pathogenic variants in the gene. It is characterized by failure to thrive, dysmorphic facial features, developmental delay, and systemic autoimmunity that can manifest variably with autoimmune hepatitis, thyroiditis, and enteropathy, among other organ manifestations. It was originally described in 10 consanguineous Old Order Amish patients, and more recently in two patients of White British and Black German ethnicities.

Symptoms typically manifest in early childhood and include developmental delay, stress-induced episodic rhabdomyolysis, and cardiac arrhythmias, along with severe metabolic crises including hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, and hyperammonemia. Severity varies among and within families.

Several families with chronic diarrhea symptoms have been identified with autosomal dominant, gain-of-function mutations in GUCY2C. We have identified a Mennonite patient with a novel GUCY2C variant (c.

The clinical manifestations reported in patients with mutations in these genes include intellectual disability (ranging from mild to severe), global developmental delay, seizures, delayed speech, behavioral abnormalities, hypotonia, episodic ataxia, progressive cerebellar atrophy, visual impairments, and gastrointestinal issues. Phenotypic heterogeneity has been postulated.
