Abstract
X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder. During the past two decades in excess of 100 X-chromosome ID genes have been identified. Yet, a large number of families mapping to the X-chromosome remained unresolved suggesting that more XLID genes or loci are yet to be identified. Here, we have investigated 405 unresolved families with XLID. We employed massively parallel sequencing of all X-chromosome exons in the index males. The majority of these males were previously tested negative for copy number variations and for mutations in a subset of known XLID genes by Sanger sequencing. In total, 745 X-chromosomal genes were screened. After stringent filtering, a total of 1297 non-recurrent exonic variants remained for prioritization. Co-segregation analysis of potential clinically relevant changes revealed that 80 families (20%) carried pathogenic variants in established XLID genes. In 19 families, we detected likely causative protein truncating and missense variants in 7 novel and validated XLID genes (

<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder. During the past two decades in excess of 100 X-chromosome ID genes have been identified. Yet, a large number of families mapping to the X-chromosome remained unresolved suggesting that more XLID genes or loci are yet to be identified. Here, we have investigated 405 unresolved families with XLID. We employed massively parallel sequencing of all X-chromosome exons in the index males. The majority of these males were previously tested negative for copy number variations and for mutations in a subset of known XLID genes by Sanger sequencing. In total, 745 X-chromosomal genes were screened. After stringent filtering, a total of 1297 non-recurrent exonic variants remained for prioritization. Co-segregation analysis of potential clinically relevant changes revealed that 80 families (20%) carried pathogenic variants in established XLID genes. In 19 families, we detected likely causative protein truncating and missense variants in 7 novel and validated XLID genes (<italic>CLCN4</italic>
, <italic>CNKSR2</italic>
, <italic>FRMPD4, KLHL15</italic>
, <italic>LAS1L</italic>
, <italic>RLIM</italic>
and <italic>USP27X</italic>
) and potentially deleterious variants in 2 novel candidate XLID genes (<italic>CDK16</italic>
and <italic>TAF1</italic>
). We show that the <italic>CLCN4</italic>
and <italic>CNKSR2</italic>
variants impair protein functions as indicated by electrophysiological studies and altered differentiation of cultured primary neurons from <italic>Clcn4</italic>
<sup>−/−</sup>
mice or after mRNA knock-down. The newly identified and candidate XLID proteins belong to pathways and networks with established roles in cognitive function and intellectual disability in particular. We suggest that systematic sequencing of all X-chromosomal genes in a cohort of patients with genetic evidence for X-chromosome locus involvement may resolve up to 58% of Fragile X-negative cases.</p>

<abstract><p>X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder. During the past two decades in excess of 100 X-chromosome ID genes have been identified. Yet, a large number of families mapping to the X-chromosome remained unresolved suggesting that more XLID genes or loci are yet to be identified. Here, we have investigated 405 unresolved families with XLID. We employed massively parallel sequencing of all X-chromosome exons in the index males. The majority of these males were previously tested negative for copy number variations and for mutations in a subset of known XLID genes by Sanger sequencing. In total, 745 X-chromosomal genes were screened. After stringent filtering, a total of 1297 non-recurrent exonic variants remained for prioritization. Co-segregation analysis of potential clinically relevant changes revealed that 80 families (20%) carried pathogenic variants in established XLID genes. In 19 families, we detected likely causative protein truncating and missense variants in 7 novel and validated XLID genes (<italic>CLCN4</italic>

We suggest that systematic sequencing of all X-chromosomal genes in a cohort of patients with genetic evidence for X-chromosome locus involvement may resolve up to 58% of Fragile X-negative cases.</p>

<body><sec><title>Introduction</title>
<p>Intellectual disability (ID), which affects 1–2% of the general population, is characterized by significant sub-average cognitive functioning, commonly defined by an IQ of lower than 70, and deficits in adaptive behavior, such as social and daily-living skills with an onset before 18 years of age. Most severe forms have a single genetic cause, and males are more often affected than females. Therefore, for many years, research has focused on the molecular elucidation of X-linked forms of ID which are thought to account for 10–12% of all males with ID.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib1">1</xref>
</sup>
Until 2007, mutations in XLID genes known at that time had been detected in 42% of the Fragile X-negative families studied.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">2</xref>
</sup>
Afterwards, a large-scale, comprehensive Sanger sequencing study was performed to identify the missing genes and mutations in a cohort of 208 families.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib3">3</xref>
</sup>
This study was complemented by high-resolution array CGH profiling on the same set of families<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib4">4</xref>
</sup>
and by further genetic and functional evidence for some of the unique missense variants.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib5">5</xref>

However, in excess of 50% XLID families remained without plausible gene defects further indicating genetic heterogeneity of XLID. Since then, several novel XLID genes have been reported in the medical literature, including <italic>HUWE1</italic>

<p>In this study, we aimed to (i) identify the molecular causes of XLID in a large group of unresolved families, (ii) define the number of XLID genes that can be identified by performing targeted sequencing of all X chromosome-specific exons, (iii) gain knowledge about ID-related pathways and networks and (iv) estimate the proportion of families with XLID that can be solved using X-exome sequencing. For this, we initially focused on 248 families collected by the EUROMRX consortium and associated groups that remained unresolved by pre-screening for mutations in selected known XLID genes and by array CGH. In follow-up work we investigated an additional cohort of 157 similarly pre-screened families. We took advantage of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to substantially improve the coverage of X-chromosomal coding sequences compared with previous studies. We identified likely pathogenic variants in a range of previously established XLID genes as well as several novel and candidate XLID genes.</p>

<sec><title>Subjects and methods</title>
<sec><title>Subjects</title>
<p>All index cases had a normal karyotype, were negative for <italic>FMR1</italic>
repeat expansion, and in most of these large indels had been excluded using array CGH. The study was approved by all institutional review boards of the participating institutions, and written informed consent was obtained from all participants or their legal guardians.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Methods</title>
<p>For each family, DNA from one affected male was used for constructing a sequencing library using the Illumina Genomic DNA Single End Sample Prep kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Enrichment of the X-chromosomal exome was then performed for each library using the Agilent SureSelect Human X Chromosome Kit (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA), which contains 47 657 RNA baits for 7591 exons of 745 genes of the human X chromosome. Single-end deep sequencing was performed on the Illumina Genome Analyzer GAIIx (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Read length was 76 nucleotides. For a subset of families of the second cohort, we performed droplet-based multiplex PCR (7367 amplicons, 757 genes, 1.54 Mb) similarly to the previously described study.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib23">23</xref>
</sup>
Paired-end deep sequencing was performed on the HiSeq2000 platform (ATLAS, Berlin, Germay). A scheme outlining the variant discovery workflow is presented in <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 1</xref>
.</p>
<p>Reads were extracted from qseq-files provided by the Illumina GAII system (Illumina). Reads containing ambiguous base calls were not considered for further analysis. The remaining reads were subsequently mapped to the human reference genome (hg18 without random fragments) with RazerS<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib24">24</xref>
</sup>
(parameters: -mcl 25 -pa -m 1 -dr 0 -i 93 -s 110101111001100010111 -t 4 -lm) tolerating up to 5 bp differences to the reference sequence per read. Only unique best matches were kept, whereas all remaining reads and those containing indels were subjected to a split mapping procedure of single end reads (SplazerS version 1.0,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib25">25</xref>
</sup>
parameters: -m 1 -pa -i 95 -sm 23 -s 111001110011100111 -t 2 -maxG 50000) to detect short insertions (⩽30 bp) and larger deletions (<50 kb). For detecting large insertions/deletions by analyzing changes in depth of coverage along the targeted regions we used ExomeCopy.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib26">26</xref>
</sup>
We performed a quality-based clipping of reads after mapping but before calling variants to minimize the number of false-positive calls. Starting from each end of a read with a sliding window of 10 bp we trimmed the read until we observed a window with all 10 phred base quality values >10. If there was a variant within 3 bp distance to the clipped region then the trimming was expanded up to this potential sequencing error. For both mapping procedures (RazerS+SplazerS) the calling of a variant required at least three reads with different mapping coordinates to exclude potential amplification artifacts. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and short indels (⩽5 bp) were called with snpStore (parameters: -reb 0 -fc 10 -m 1 -mmp -mc 3 -oa -mp 1 -th 0.85 -mmq 10 -hr 0.001 -re -pws 1000), performing a realignment of the clipped mapped reads whenever at least three indel-containing reads were observed within close proximity. For an indel to be called no more than 75% of the spanning reads were allowed to contradict it. For single base variants we used the Maq consensus statistics<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib27">27</xref>
</sup>
integrated into the snpStore code. Larger deletions and small insertions were identified by examining the split mapping results for potential breakpoint positions. In case of multiple such positions implying varying indel lengths within a 20-bp range such candidate calls were assumed to be unreliable and were therefore discarded. To detect potential retrocopies, the boundaries of split read mappings were compared with known exon boundaries allowing a tolerance of ±5 bp. When both split ends coincided with exon boundaries these exons were defined as being part of a retrocopy event. Completeness of the retrocopy was defined by the highest fraction of exons per transcript for which exon-spanning reads were detected. One example is shown in <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 2</xref>
. In a parallel approach, we processed the sequencing reads using an alternative software, Medical Resequencing Analysis Pipeline (MERAP), for mapping, variant calling, and annotation.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib28">28</xref>
</sup>
Here, the mapping was performed using SOAP2.20<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib29">29</xref>
</sup>
allowing at most two mismatches. For the calling of single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and indels a minimum of four reads and a more stringent Phred-like quality score of ⩾20 were required. Finally, only those variants called by both approaches were kept to yield high-confidence candidate variants.</p>
<p>For <italic>in silico</italic>
prioritization of variants, we integrated the following features: (a) gene/transcript annotations (downloaded from UCSC Genome Browser, hg19); (b) known sequence variants from the following data sources: dbSNP, 1000 Genomes project, 200 Danish exomes,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib30">30</xref>
</sup>
NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP6500, version without indels). Base exchanges were considered as 'known' (with exception of SNVs observed as only heterozygous in ESP6500 and 1000 Genomes project) if position and type of the nucleotide were identical to entries in the reference databases. We did not use a cutoff based on minor allele frequency. In case of short indels, a tolerance in positional matching was applied based on repetitiveness of the deleted/inserted sequence in the SNV flanking sequence; (c) variants detected in the screen performed by Tarpey <italic>et al.</italic>
<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib3">3</xref>
</sup>
were located in transcripts derived from ENSEMBL version 54. We defined the amino-acid coordinate shared by most transcripts of a gene as reference, which is sometimes different from the one annotated by Tarpey <italic>et al.</italic>
<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib3">3</xref>
</sup>
Conversion of coordinates was successful for 1647 variants; (d) evolutionary conservation across 44 vertebrate species;<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib31">31</xref>
</sup>
(e) splice site detection for defining potential cryptic splice sites (software NNSplice; cutoff 0.9 (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib32">32</xref>
)); (f) potential functional impact: PolyPhen2,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib33">33</xref>
</sup>
SIFT<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib34">34</xref>
</sup>
and (g) Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD): known variants with Pubmed entries were treated as potentially disease causing if they were listed in HGMD Professional and annotated in maximally one reference SNV database.</p>
<p>We thus defined a prioritization score (PS) based on basic, computationally tractable criteria like type of variant or evolutionary conservation. Polyphen2/SIFT produces a categorical output (benign/tolerated, possibly damaging/low confidence, probably damaging/damaging), which was assigned to ordinal variables 1, 2 or 3. Numbers are decreasing with decreasing functional impact, missing values are scored nil. Whenever only one of the methods scored >0, the zero score was set to 1 to avoid underestimation of the functional impact. PhyloP values were rounded down to decimal numbers, values >5 were set to PHY=5, for values <2 PHY= 1, for values <0 PHY= 0. Since deletions/insertions are usually not scored by PolyPhen2/SIFT, we defined the following adhoc weighting scheme: non-sense/frameshift: TYPE=20 (maximal PS), deletions (>50 bp): TYPE=9 (similar to maximal impact prediction by PolyPhen2 and SIFT), duplications, in-frame deletions, potential splice site variants: TYPE=3. The score for a change identified in a gene known to have a role in XLID before this study was set to 3. PS=PP2 * Sift+PHY+TYPE+XLID; if PS>20, PS=20.</p>
<p>We also used CADD (Combined Annotation-Dependent Depletion)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib35">35</xref>
</sup>
as an additional tool for annotating and interpreting SNVs as well as small indels (see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 3</xref>
for comparison of the scores).</p>

Neurons were differentiated for 18 days <italic>in vitro</italic>
(18 DIV) using Neurobasal/B27 medium and antibiotics (Mycozap, Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), replacing half of the media each third day for maintenance according to standard procedures.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib38">38</xref>

Short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) design was made by targeting the 3′UTR of each specific gene using Promega shRNA designer tools (Promega BioSciences, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA) or informations based on The RNAi Consortium (TCR) shRNA Library. A control shRNA-producing plasmid was used in control experiments as previously described.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib40">40</xref>

Three independent shRNA-producing and GFP-expressing plasmids, based on pSystrike vector (Promega), were produced for each gene and used as a pool. Sequences targeted by shRNAs for <italic>Cnksr2</italic>

(NCBI reference sequence NM_011334.4) cDNAs were cloned into pFN21A HaloTag® CMV Flexi® vector (Promega). For rescue experiments, pool of plasmids encoding shRNAs were cotransfected with pFN21A HaloTag® fused to either <italic>Cnksr2</italic>
or <italic>Clcn4</italic>
. All constructs were sequence verified and plasmids were purified using an endotoxin-free kit (Macherey Nagel, Düren, Germany). Transfections were carried out using Lipofectamine (Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) at 11 DIV and cells were fixed at a later stage of differentiation for analysis (DIV 18). Individual neurons were directly imaged under fluorescence and confocal microscopy (spinning disk microscope, Leica, Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) using GFP labeling as a tracer of morphology. Immunocytochemistry to detect GFP (goat antibody, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and HaloTag constructs (HaloTag TMR Ligand, Promega) was also realized according to standard procedures. Image analysis was done using Imaris software with ‘Filament tracer' plugin (Bitplane Scientific Software, Bitplane AG, Zürich, Switzerland) and ImageJ software (Wayne Rasband, Bethesda, NIH). It allowed quantifying total arborization of neurites (dendrites and axon) for each neuron (total length of neurites, numbers of branches, branching complexity), see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 4</xref>
for details on branching analysis. Quantification was based on three independent experiments with more than 15 cells of each type per experiment analyzed. Mann-Whitney statistical test was used to compare total neuritic length as well as number of branches, whereas Chi-square test was used to evaluate significance of variations in branching complexity.

<p>Initially, using genome partitioning and NGS we investigated a cohort of 248 unresolved families with suggestive X-chromosome involvement. Each of the families has at least 2 affected males and in 210 families affected males were present in separate sibships. Before this study, 125 of the index patients had been prescreened for different (per case) known XLID genes.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">2</xref>

For 1/3 of the 248 families, linkage data were available. For enrichment, we used probes covering 745 X-chromosome genes, including 1 224 575 bp in coding regions and 2 400 136 bp in exonic regions. In all, 92% of the target sequences were covered by at least three sequence reads, and 94.2% were covered by at least one read (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8</xref>
). In total, we identified 3378 recurrent and 1299 non-recurrent exonic variants, which were also found in control populations (<xref rid="tbl1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
). After filtering against variants from >7000 controls, present in publicly available databases as well as our in-house database, 28 recurrent and 765 non-recurrent exonic variants, as well as 16 potential splice site variants remained (<xref rid="tbl1" ref-type="table">Tables 1</xref>

<p>As a follow-up study we investigated an additional cohort of 157 unresolved, similarly pre-screened XLID families. For this cohort, we present data on pathogenic variants identified in known XLID genes, likely or potentially pathogenic variants in novel and candidate XLID genes and truncating variants unlikely implicated in XLID.</p>
<p>For validation and segregation analyses, we prioritized variants by defining a prioritization score (PS). This score incorporates several computationally tractable pieces of information including the type of variant, evolutionary conservation and (if available) evidence that the gene has a role in XLID. Except for duplications and small in-frame indels, variants with a PS of ⩾5 were considered as strong candidates for follow-up studies. More recently, we also assigned C-scores obtained by applying CADD<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib35">35</xref>

). The variants include co-segregating protein truncating variants, in-frame deletions or missense changes and none of them were reported in 61 486 unrelated individuals (ExAC Browser). According to the current literature and HGMD (as of May 2014), for some of these XLID genes only very few families with pathogenic variants have so far been reported, suggesting that mutations in these genes are very rare. One example is <italic>ACSL4</italic>
(previously known as <italic>FACL4</italic>
[MIM 300157]), which has a role in long-fatty-acid metabolism. Its involvement in XLID was discovered more than 10 years ago.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib51">51</xref>

Yet, until today a total of only four unrelated families with pathogenic point variants in <italic>ACSL4</italic>
have been published. These include one recurrent amino-acid change and one splicing variant.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib51">51</xref>

We identified a non-sense variant in this gene (chrX:108902601G>A, p.Arg654*) present in one family (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>

we identified a likely deleterious stop codon (p.Arg162*) which is expected to remove most part of the protein. The variant could not be tested for segregation because additional family members were unavailable. The 29-year-old affected is the first and only child of unrelated and healthy parents. He presented with moderate ID, severe behavioral problems, especially abnormal sexual behavior and aggression. There was no formal diagnosis of autism. We have also identified pathogenic variants in ID genes with widely varying phenotypes, which are difficult to diagnose by clinical examination alone. One example is <italic>PQBP1</italic>
[MIM 300463] in which we found a pathogenic single nucleotide deletion that causes a frameshift resulting in a premature stop codon (p.Phe240Serfs*26, <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>
). As a result of this molecular diagnosis, careful reexamination of the affected boys revealed subtle dysmorphic features that are in good agreement with the currently known <italic>PQBP1</italic>
clinical spectrum.</p>
<p>One of the established XLID genes with several likely pathogenic variants identified in our study groups is <italic>MED12</italic>

we identified segregating likely pathogenic missense variants in three families (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>

<p>In <italic>CLCN4</italic>
, that encodes the electrogenic chloride/proton exchanger ClC-4,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib60">60</xref>
</sup>
we discovered a protein truncating variant (p.Asp15Serfs*18, family MRX49<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib61">61</xref>
</sup>
) and four missense variants (p.Gly731Arg, family MRX15,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib62">62</xref>
</sup>
p.Leu221Val, p.Val536Met, p.Gly78Ser) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1a</xref>
). ID of the affected males was variable, even within families, ranging from mild to severe. Similarly, intra- and interfamilial variable clinical features include epilepsy, dysmorphic face, scoliosis and strabismus (for detailed clinical information, see <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table 7</xref>
). All affected amino-acid residues lie within the transmembrane part or in the cytoplasmic, carboxy terminus of the protein (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1c</xref>
). To provide further evidence that the missense variants identified impair ClC-4 protein function, we performed analyses in <italic>Xenopus laevis</italic>
oocytes. Compared with the strong outwardly-rectifying currents of wild-type CLC-4 (refs. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib36">36</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib60">60</xref>
) currents were much smaller or even absent with ClC-4 constructs carrying the point variants, showing that these substitutions markedly impaired the function of the ClC-4 protein (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1b</xref>
). In the crystal structure of algal CmClC,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib63">63</xref>
</sup>
p.Gly731 is located just at the contact sites of the cytosolic cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) domains of the different subunits of the ClC-4 homodimer. Since CBS domains have been implicated in the gating of CLC channels,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib64">64</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib65">65</xref>
</sup>
the p.Gly731Arg substitution may interfere with this process. We additionally analyzed the effects of the mouse counterpart, <italic>Clcn4</italic>
, on neuronal differentiation by transfecting hippocampal neurons at day-in-vitro 11 (DIV11) with knock-down constructs targeting this gene and evaluated the cells at a later stage of differentiation (DIV18). At this stage, neuronal differentiation is complete and was clearly affected in <italic>Clcn4</italic>
-depleted cells. Indeed, compared with controls that were transfected with a non-silencing construct, in <italic>Clcn4</italic>
depleted cultures neurons were less branched, that is, the total length of neuritic branches was decreased by 30% corresponding to less dendritic branches per cell. However, there was no effect on the complexity of dendritic branching. Introduction of ClC-4 protein in knock-down cells using RNAi-insensitive cDNA rescued both dendritic phenotypes to control levels, thus highlighting the specificity of the phenotype truly associated with the loss of ClC-4 protein (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3a</xref>
). Primary neurons derived from <italic>Clcn4</italic>
<sup>−/−</sup>
mice<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib41">41</xref>

confirmed these findings (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3b</xref>
). Although the observed morphological changes were more subtle when compared with those obtained with the shRNA-mediated knock-down, they were statistically significant.</p>
<p>In <italic>CNKSR2</italic>
(also known as <italic>CNK2</italic>
, <italic>KSR2</italic>
, <italic>MAGUIN</italic>
), we identified a likely pathogenic frameshift variant (p.Asp152Argfs*8) in a family with four affected males. This variant was present in three affected brothers tested and their mother (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2a</xref>
). That <italic>CNKSR2</italic>
is implicated in ID is further supported by an unrelated intellectually impaired female who carries a balanced translocation with a chromosomal breakpoint that disrupts <italic>CNKSR2</italic>
(J Chelly <italic>et al.</italic>
, unpublished result). To assess whether the loss of the mouse ortholog, <italic>Cnksr2</italic>
, has a functional impact, we depleted it in primary hippocampal neurons fully differentiated <italic>in vitro</italic>
. Reduction of <italic>Cnksr2</italic>
had a profound effect on the number of dendritic branches, as well as on total length of neurites per neuron, which were all reduced by 65–75% (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3c</xref>
). These two drastic phenotypes were partially, but highly significantly rescued in neurons by expression of a shRNA-resistant cDNA plasmid encoding HaloTag-fused Cnksr2 protein. Furthermore, dendritic branching complexity was largely affected due to loss of terminal branches (level 4 30%, level 5 50% and level 6 70%). This phenotype could be restored in the rescue experiment (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3c</xref>
).</p>
<p>In <italic>FRMPD4</italic>
we identified a protein truncating variant (p.Cys618Valfs*8) in a single XLID family with five affected males in different sibships (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2b</xref>
) and a <italic>de novo</italic>
missense mutation in an unrelated male who at the age of 17 years presented with significant developmental delay, the absence of speech and autism spectrum disorder. His brother and a half-brother did not carry the mutation, and upon re-examination it appeared that they had much milder phenotypes characterized by learning problems at school.</p>
<p>In the poorly characterized <italic>KLHL15</italic>
gene, encoding a member of the kelch-like protein family, we identified a protein-truncating variant (p.Tyr394Ilefs*61) that co-segregates with ID in a large family with eight affected males in three different sibships (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2c</xref>
). Further support for KLHL15 being implicated in XLID comes from an unrelated XLID family, which carries a small deletion that removes part of <italic>KLHL15</italic>
and is expected to result either in a C-terminally truncated protein or in a complete loss of KLHL15 (J Gecz, V Kalscheuer and F McKenzie <italic>et al.</italic>

<p>Two likely causative missense variants potentially affecting protein biosynthesis or transcription regulation involved <italic>LAS1L,</italic>
encoding the human homolog of the highly evolutionary conserved <italic>S. cerevisiae</italic>
protein Las1 (lethal in the absence of SSD1-v1). The p.Ala269Gly substitution was identified in the large original family described as Wilson-Turner syndrome (WTS, MIM 309585) with mild to moderate ID and obesity (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2d</xref>
). <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib66">66</xref>

More than half of the affecteds had speech disability (mutism or stuttering), small or undescended testes and relatively small feet. The p.Arg415Trp substitution was present in an unrelated family from France with five affected males in three different sibships (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2d</xref>
). Upon clinical re-examination of affected males from this family, they all turned out to have ID with speech impairment, obesity and hypogonadism, too.</p>
<p>For <italic>RLIM</italic>
, which encodes the RING-H2 zinc finger protein 12, we identified three families who carry unique missense variants that resulted in single amino-acid substitutions (D72, p.Arg387Cys; T11/MRX61, p.Pro587Arg; AU31, p.Arg599Cys). All variants co-segregated with XLID in these large families (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2e</xref>
) and affected highly conserved amino-acid residues. Both p.Pro587Arg and p.Arg599Cys substitutions affect amino acids of the zinc-finger domain of RLIM. In addition, HOPE<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib67">67</xref>

predicts that the differences in amino-acid properties disturb this domain.</p>
<p>Family D177 with three affected males in different sibships carries a 5-bp deletion (g.AAGTA) in <italic>USP27X</italic>
encoding ubiquitin-specific peptidase 27. The deletion was also present in their mothers (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2f</xref>
). The variant results in a frameshift and premature stop codon (p.Ser342Argfs*14) that is expected to remove the C-terminal part of the corresponding protein. The unrelated family L75 with four affected males (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2f</xref>
) carries a potentially deleterious missense variant in <italic>USP27X</italic>
, which substitutes a highly conserved tryptophane by a histidine residue (p.Trp381His).</p>

(also frequently named in the literature as <italic>PCTK1</italic>
and <italic>PCTAIRE1</italic>
, [MIM 311550]), which is highly expressed in brain and testis, we identified a dinucleotide deletion in the index male of family L56. The deletion affects all three known RNA isoforms and results in a frameshift and a premature stop codon before the N-terminal kinase domain (p.Trp326Valfs*5). The deletion was also present in his affected brother and two affected male cousins (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2g</xref>
) who, in addition to ID, all suffered from spastic diplegia. It is currently unclear whether another dinucleotide deletion (g.TG, chrX:47085594-47085595, p.Phe322Trpfs*12), which would truncate the C-terminus of only one CDK16 protein isoform (non RefSeq variant), and was identified in a single family is a rare neutral variant. CDK16 is a poorly characterized atypical member of the cyclin-dependent kinase family. It is particularly abundant in postmitotic neurons,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib68">68</xref>

and has been implicated in the regulation of neurite outgrowth,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib69">69</xref>

neuronal migration, vesicular transport and exocytosis.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib70">70</xref>

and in <italic>C. elegans</italic>
it is important for localizing presynaptic components.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib74">74</xref>

Thus, it is plausible to assume that loss of CDK16 function could have a role in ID, but more evidence is required to accept <italic>CDK16</italic>
as a novel XLID gene.</p>
<p>In <italic>TAF1</italic>
[MIM 313650] we identified segregating missense variants in two unrelated families (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig2">Figure 2h</xref>
), both of which affect highly conserved amino acids of proteins encoded by the longest transcript isoforms encoding the TATA box binding protein-associated factor, 250 kD (TAF1), which is a subunit of a complex with a key role in transcription initiation. Additionally, TAF1 is part of the H3K4 methyltransferase MLL1, which also contains CHD8 that is implicated in autism.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib75">75</xref>

<sec><title>Variants with unlikely effect on brain function</title>
<p>We also identified protein truncating or read-through changes in 40 genes which we considered as unlikely to cause ID because these were (i) outside the linkage intervals in the respective families and therefore expected not to co-segregate with the phenotype, (ii) did not co-segregate with ID, (iii) previously reported in healthy males<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib3">3</xref>

<sec><title>Discussion</title>
<p>For many years, research into the molecular causes of ID has focused on the X-chromosome, prompted by the observation that males are more often affected than females.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib86">86</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib87">87</xref>
</sup>
Cumulatively, sequencing of positional and functional candidate genes as well as high-resolution array CGH led to the identification of apparently causative defects in more than 100 X-linked genes, but after the advent of high-throughput sequencing techniques, mutations inactivating some of these genes were also observed in healthy individuals, thereby questioning the identity of several of the previously identified XLID genes.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib43">43</xref>

</p>
<p>Despite the large number of established XLID genes, more than half of the XLID families remained unsolved,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">2</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib3">3</xref>
</sup>
suggesting further heterogeneity. This prompted us to investigate a cohort of 405 XLID families by NGS. 74 (18%) of the families carry variants in established XLID genes that we consider as causative. Six families (1.5%) carry potentially causative XLID variants which, in our opinion, have to be studied in more detail before qualifying for carrier testing or prenatal diagnosis. Some of these variants are recurrent and were previously reported in other XLID families (for example, <italic>ATRX</italic>

, <italic>HUWE1</italic>
, for more details see our previously unpublished variants showing the respective HGMD entries in <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>

None of these variants was found in >61 486 ‘healthy' controls except for 3 heterozygous females with RLIM protein truncating variants, and none of these genes carry loss-of-function variants in these controls (dbSNP138, ExAC Browser<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib30">30</xref>

).</p>
<p>One of the novel XLID genes discovered in this study is <italic>CLCN4</italic>
in which we identified protein truncating and missense variants in five unrelated families, including families MRX15 (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib62">62</xref>
) and MRX49 (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib61">61</xref>
) with non-syndromic XLID. Electrophysiological studies in <italic>Xenopus laevis</italic>
oocytes showed that the amino-acid substitutions present in the affected males markedly impaired ClC-4 function and primary mouse neurons depleted of <italic>Clcn4</italic>
, the mouse counterpart of <italic>CLCN4</italic>
. As well, primary neurons derived from <italic>Clcn4</italic>
knock-out mice showed a significant effect on neuronal differentiation thereby corroborating that ClC-4 is important for cognition. Our results further support pathogenicity of a <italic>de novo CLCN4</italic>
missense variant identified in a boy with epilepsy and cognitive dysfunction.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib91">91</xref>
</sup>
Very little is known about the physiological role of ClC-4. It is a member of the CLC family and most homologous to ClC-3 and ClC-5. Similar to ClC-4, other members of this family are also required for normal brain function, for example, ClC-2 variants have been described in individuals with leukoencephalopathy and MRI abnormalities,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib92">92</xref>
</sup>
and loss of ClC-7 leads to neurodegeneration associated with lysosomal storage and osteopetrosis, respectively.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib93">93</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib94">94</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib95">95</xref>
</sup>
<italic>Clcn4</italic>
<sup>−/−</sup>
mice do not display an obvious phenotype,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib41">41</xref>
</sup>
whereas <italic>Clcn3</italic>
<sup>−/−</sup>
mice are developmentally retarded, show neurological manifestations and severe postnatal degeneration of the hippocampus,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib96">96</xref>
</sup>
and <italic>Clcn</italic>
6<sup>−/−</sup>
mice display lysosomal storage in neurons.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib97">97</xref>
</sup>
Thus, direct and indirect evidence point to a vital role for ClC proteins, including ClC-4, in the central nervous system.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the proteins encoded by the now confirmed XLID genes <italic>CNKSR2</italic>
and <italic>FRMPD4</italic>
(also termed PDZD10, PDZK10, Preso and Preso1) interact with PSD95 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>
), the major scaffold protein of the postsynaptic density, which has an important role in neuronal plasticity. In <italic>CNKSR2</italic>
, we identified a deleterious variant in a single family. This result was conducive to interprete a previously reported intragenic deletion identified in a boy with non-syndromic XLID<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib98">98</xref>
</sup>
and of two additional <italic>CNKSR2</italic>
gene deletions present in unrelated families.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib99">99</xref>
</sup>
In addition, depletion of Cnksr2 in primary hippocampal neurons resulted in reduced number and complexity of dendritic branches. CNKSR2 is also connected with the XLID protein DLG3 and the ID/autism protein SHANK3 (ref. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib100">100</xref>
) is involved in the assembly of synaptic junction components,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib101">101</xref>
</sup>
and modulates Rac cycling during spine morphogenesis.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib102">102</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>For <italic>FRMPD4</italic>
, the first evidence for its involvement in XLID came from a duplication that likely disrupted this gene in a male with mild ID and autism.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib103">103</xref>
</sup>
Depletion of the FRMPD4 ortholog in the mouse decreases spine density and excitatory synaptic transmission,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib104">104</xref>
</sup>
similarly to what has been described for other proteins important for normal brain function and, when deficient result in cognitive impairment.</p>
<p>Four of the novel and validated XLID genes are potentially directly or indirectly implicated in the regulation of protein turnover (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>
). One of these is <italic>KLHL15</italic>
, in which we identified a deleterious variant in a large family and a deletion that likely affects its normal function in an unrelated family (unpublished results). Our results support pathogenicity of a partial deletion of <italic>KLHL15</italic>
, which has very recently been described in a single proband with severe ID, epilepsy and anomalies of cortical development.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib105">105</xref>
</sup>
KLHL15 is a member of the Kelch-like proteins, many of which are adaptors for the recruitment of substrates to Cul3-based E3 ubiquitin ligases for degradation by the 26S proteasome. KLHL15-Cul3 specifically targets a brain-specific regulatory subunit of the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A/B'ß) and thereby promotes its proteasomal degradation, resulting in the formation of alternative PP2A holoenzymes.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib106">106</xref>
</sup>
PP2A/B'ß has been shown to inactivate CAMKII, which is a key mediator of long-term potentiation. Thus, aberrant turnover of PP2A/B'ß caused by KLHL15 protein-truncating variants could contribute to XLID.</p>
<p>Little is currently known about the functional role of the ubiquitin specific peptidase USP27X. It was among the top 50 genes with enriched expression in mouse embryonic serotonin neurons and thus may be important for serotonergic function.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib107">107</xref>
</sup>
The only known interaction partner of USP27X is USP22, which has been shown to be required for glial cell and neuronal development in flies.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib108">108</xref>
</sup>
It is an integral component of a Pol II coactivator complex that, in addition to its histone acetyltransferase activity, has a role in the turnover of histone modifications by specifically removing the ubiquitin moiety from histones H2A and B, and it functions as a positive cofactor for activation by nuclear receptors.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib109">109</xref>
</sup>
Several previously identified ID genes code for subunits of the same complex, for example, proteins from the mediator complex, for example, MED12 and MED13L [MIM 608771], and a range of proteins that regulate transcription by modulation of the chromatin structure.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib110">110</xref>
</sup>
Furthermore, variants in another member of the peptidase C19 family, USP9X, are also associated with XLID.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib6">6</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>Three unrelated families carry co-segregating point mutations in the E3 ubiquitin ligase RLIM, which were all predicted as disease causing.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib111">111</xref>
</sup>
Two of the amino-acid substitutions lie in the C-terminal zinc finger domain and could disturb its function. RLIM has an important role in embryonic development by acting as a negative regulator of LIM homeodomain transcription factors through two distinct and complementary mechanisms: recruitment of the Sin3A/histone deacetylase corepressor complex and targeting the coactivator of LIM homeodomain proteins for degradation,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib112">112</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib113">113</xref>
</sup>
suggesting that it has critical functions in regulating associated transcriptional activity.</p>
<p>LAS1L in which we identified likely pathogenic missense variants in two families with a syndromic form of XLID (WTS,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib66">66</xref>
</sup>
[MIM 309585]) is involved in ribosome biogenesis. It is required for the synthesis of the 60S ribosomal subunit and maturation of 28S rRNA. Depletion of LAS1L results in a p53-dependent cell-cycle arrest, defective pre-rRNA processing and failure to synthesize mature 60S ribosomal subunits.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib114">114</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib115">115</xref>
</sup>
Additionally, LAS1L is part of a large nuclear complex (Five Friend of Methylated chromatin target of protein-arginine-methyltransferase-1) that has a role in transcription regulation by affecting the sumoylation status and transactivation potential of the zinc-finger transcription factor Zbp-89,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib116">116</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib117">117</xref>
</sup>
and is a component of the CoREST1/HDAC1 corepressor complex.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib117">117</xref>
</sup>
It remains to be determined which of the LAS1L functions are compromised by the missense variants. Interestingly, another missense variant in this gene has recently been identified in a boy with congenital lethal motor neuron disease,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib118">118</xref>
</sup>
suggesting that <italic>LAS1L</italic>
variants are associated with a variable phenotype. Similarly, a family with a phenotype resembling WTS carries a missense variant in the known XLID gene <italic>HDAC8</italic>
,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib119">119</xref>
</sup>
in which loss-of-function variants are associated with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CDLS5 [MIM 300882]).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib12">12</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>Our investigation has led to the identification of several novel ID genes that are mutated in up to 7% of the XLID families. There are still many ID families with evidence for X-linkage that remain unresolved, including 75 families with 4 and more affected males in separate sibships connected through female carriers, suggesting several yet to be identified genes or loci on the X-chromosome involved in ID. The ‘diagnostic' yield of 26% obtained by performing X-exome resequencing on a pre-screened cohort contrasts with our previous experience that defects in XLID genes known until 2007 account for more than half of the families screened.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">2</xref>
</sup>
This discrepancy can be explained by the fact that in the present study, most of the families had already undergone prior FraX testing, array CGH and targeted analysis of many previously known genes. Indeed, <italic>KDM5C</italic>
variants and disease-causing variants in three other most common XLID genes, namely <italic>MECP2</italic>
[MIM 300005], <italic>IL1RAPL1</italic>
[MIM 300206] and <italic>PQBP1</italic>
, turned out to be strongly under-represented in the families included here (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table 10</xref>
). To estimate the diagnostic yield of sequencing all X-chromosomal exons in novel, not previously examined XLID families, we selected 222 EUROMRX consortium families with convincing evidence for X-linkage, as evidenced by two or more affected males in two generations connected through healthy female carriers. In all, 97 of these 222 families had been resolved by mutation screening of single genes or by array CGH before this study (unpublished results).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">2</xref>
</sup>
Of the remaining 125 families, 32 could be solved and 3 potentially solved by NGS-based sequencing of all X-chromosomal genes, but 90 remained unsolved, with half of them having four or more affected males in separate sibships. Assuming that we would have detected all previously identified defects by NGS, this indicates that mutations in coding regions of all presently known XLID genes account for 58% of the (EUROMRX) Fragile X-negative families (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 9</xref>
). Combined with Fragile X, which is seen in about 15% of XLID families, NGS and Fragile X testing allows a molecular diagnosis in 64% of all families with XLID (<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Figure 10</xref>
).</p>
<p>There are several explanations why about one-third of all XLID families cannot be solved by Fragile X testing combined with X-exome sequencing, (1) technical limitations because of poor enrichment and coverage that may account for a small number of the families, (2) non-coding variants or yet to be annotated regions of X-chromosome, (3) also, it is rather likely that at least some of the families might have autosomal ID instead of XLID, (4) the unique DNA missense variants with currently unknown causality are pathogenic, (5) at least some of the cases might be due to multigenic variations, or (6) deleterious variants are located in yet undiscovered regulatory elements. Although there is no reliable information about the proportion of disease-causing mutations located outside coding exons, their frequency may be considerable. A recent effort to annotate the non-coding sequence showed that around 80% of the genome contains elements linked to a biochemical function.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib120">120</xref>
</sup>
Nowadays, whole genome sequencing or targeted genomic sequencing of linkage intervals combined with sophisticated computational tools that predict such potentially functionally relevant sequences, in principle, allow finding disease-relevant variants outside coding exons. One example is a family with non-syndromic XLID in which we failed to identify the causative mutation by exome sequencing. Subsequent massively parallel resequencing of the non-repetitive genomic linkage interval identified a regulatory variant that leads to overexpression of the transcriptional regulator HCFC1.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib7">7</xref>
</sup>
Though the numbers of non-coding sequences in the human genome are comparably large, interpreting non-protein coding variants is a new challenge for the next years.</p>
<p>In conclusion, we have been able to identify numerous pathogenic variants in known XLID genes, previously proposed and novel XLID genes and two XLID candidates. The results provide a molecular diagnosis for the families involved and will be useful for interpreting variants that will be identified in other patients and families in these genes in the future. It will also help to better understand the genetic complexity underlying ID and the functional complexity underlying normal brain function, which is amazingly diverse. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that genetic lesions identified in XLID genes are also associated with other brain/neurological disorders, many of these often co-occurring with ID including autism, epilepsy, schizophrenia or other neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral problems. Therefore, further investigations of the XLID genes in the context of their functional and regulatory networks will not only deepen our insight into the pathogenesis of ID but also shed more light into the etiology of related neurological disorders and into human brain development.</p>

<caption><p>Novel X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) genes and candidates that emerged from this study encode components of key cellular protein networks. All available protein–protein interactions involving known intellectual disability (ID) proteins and the proteins likely implicated in XLID identified in this study were first extracted from the literature and then connected into a set of protein–protein interaction networks via the Ingenuity tool. Functional cellular subnetworks were extracted by using the available annotations of the interacting proteins (e.g., defined by functional category ‘translation/transcription') and by performing literature searches.
