The study investigates nsd2 gene haploinsufficiency and its association with developmental disorders and intellectual disability (ID). A series of individual cases with nsd2 mutations such as frameshifts and nonsense mutations implicate the gene's loss-of-function in ID and related phenotypes. While the inheritance of these mutations is not universally tested, some cases exhibit de novo mutations. For instance, patient 13-I with a frameshift variant p.Cys1183Valfs*146 and patient 14-I with a nonsense mutation p.Arg600*, both present with learning difficulties. Functional studies further corroborate the link between nsd2 dysfunction and disease, demonstrating a significant reduction in methyltransferase activity. Specifically, an in vitro methylation assay reveals that mutations like those identified in patients 10-I (S1137F) and 5-I (E1091K) disrupt the protein's ability to methylate histone H3. Overexpression studies are in agreement, showing reduced methylation levels upon expression of patient-associated nsd2 variants. In vitro enzymatic function assessments indicate that missense variant Cys869Tyr from patient 1-I, likely pathogenic, did not significantly disrupt methylation activity, suggesting additional nsd2 functions may contribute to disease pathogenesis. Collectively, the data from this cohort provide a compelling argument for nsd2 haploinsufficiency playing a critical role in developmental disorders and ID, backed by both genetic evidence from patient mutations and functional validation of impaired enzymatic activity.

In a case study, a 6-year-old boy exhibiting a phenotype characterized by intrauterine growth restriction, low birth weight, neonatal hypotonia, psychomotor delay, marphanoid habitus, muscle hypotrophy, facial dysmorphisms, cryptorchidism, shawl scrotum, mild clinodactyly of the right little finger, bilateral syndactyly of the II and III toes with sandal gap, delayed bone age, and mild mitral prolapse was identified as having a heterozygous de novo deletion in the NSD2 gene (c.2523delG), predicted to cause a loss of function. The deletion was verified as de novo, indicating that it was not inherited from the patient's parents. The clinical features associated with NSD2 gene haploinsufficiency are commonly growth restriction, facial gestalt, intellectual disability, microcephaly, clinodactyly, and developmental delay, with autism spectrum disorder reported in a subset of NSD2-haploinsufficient children. Functional studies, including exome sequencing analyses and observational investigations, support the correlation between loss-of-function variants like disruptions in NSD2 and clinical outcomes such as developmental delay and autism spectrum disorder. Such evidence underpins the consideration of NSD2 haploinsufficiency as contributing to the clinical spectrum consistent with atypical or partial Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome (WHS).

This study presents the genetic analysis of several patients exhibiting symptoms of Rauch–Steindl syndrome and similar phenotypes, with a focus on mutations in the NSD2 gene and their clinical consequences. A 7-year-old girl with a de novo frameshift deletion mutation c.2721delT(p.Asn907Lysfs*5) presented with typical Rauch–Steindl syndrome features, while a proband with a missense variant exhibited delayed development, growth issues among other clinical signs. Functional studies of NSD2 haploinsufficiency via analysis of de novo frameshift variant and comparison with the clinical phenotype conclude that NSD2 deficiency leads to multisystem abnormalities associated with Rauch–Steindl syndrome. Importantly, the supporting evidence of haploinsufficiency includes inheritance information, showing de novo mutations, highlighting a novel NSD2 gene mutation, and linking predicted loss-of-function variants to specific clinical phenotypes. However, one individual showed atypical mild manifestation of WHS without detailed mutation data or inheritance testing, suggesting the NSD2 gene's contribution to the WHS phenotype might be limited. Functional analysis supports the link between NSD2 gene haploinsufficiency and disease, with mouse models and methylation activity studies backing the role of loss-of-function variants in presenting clinical signs.
