This dataset pertains to a study on the gene KMT2C and its role in neurodevelopmental disorders. Out of the clinical genetics centers at the Radboudumc and Maastricht UMC, five individuals exhibiting symptoms of intellectual disability (ID), language and motor delay, autism or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) were identified with de novo KMT2C mutations predicted to induce loss of function. These mutations included a frameshift mutation c.5216del (p.Pro1739Leufs*2) in individual 1, a mosaic nonsense mutation c.7550C>G (p.Ser2517*) in approximately 30% of blood cells of individual 2, another nonsense mutation c.1690A>T (p.Lys564*) in individual 3, a frameshift mutation c.10812_10815del (p.Lys3605fs) in individual 4, and a de novo deletion involving an intragenic 203kb segment (Chr7: 151858920–152062163)x1 in individual 5. Inheritance testing confirmed the de novo status of these mutations. Additionally, clinical features recurrent across cases included short stature, microcephaly, childhood hypotonia, kyphosis, scoliosis, recurrent respiratory infections, and Kleefstra-like facial dysmorphisms. Functional studies supported the relationship between KMT2C mutations and the disease phenotype, particularly an intragenic de novo deletion identified by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization and confirmed by locus-specific qPCR in one patient. These findings collectively support a role of haploinsufficiency in KMT2C contributing to the clinical phenotype of the disease.

This synthesis provides an overview of the case-level genetic evidence for KMT2C haploinsufficiency in human disease. Two cases were analyzed, each with distinct loss-of-function mutations in the KMT2C gene. The first case, a Caucasian child, presented with developmental delay and autism with typical clinical signs of Kleefstra syndrome type 2 (KLEFS2) and orthopedic anomalies; a novel de novo nonsense mutation c.10420C>T (p.Gln3474Ter) was identified, which is believed to impair gene function. The second case, details not provided, exhibited intellectual impairment, autism, and lack of language along with dysmorphic features, with a de novo truncating mutation in the KMT2C gene also detected. Genetic inheritance was tested in both instances, with the mutations arising de novo. Functional studies suggested that truncating mutations in KMT2C were involved in the clinical manifestations, including intellectual impairment and autistic features, and implicated KMT2C in neurodevelopmental disorders such as Kleefstra syndrome type 2, Kabuki, and Rubinstein-Taybi syndromes. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the recurrence of clinical features associated with KMT2C haploinsufficiency, such as developmental delays, limited language abilities, hypotonia, facial dysmorphisms, and varying systemic anomalies, supporting its role in the pathogenesis of related syndromes.
