Immunological and hematological findings as major features in a patient with a new germline pathogenic CBL variant.
American Journal of Medical Genetics. Part A 2024 April 13
Casitas B-lineage lymphoma (CBL) encodes an adaptor protein with E3-ligase activity negatively controlling intracellular signaling downstream of receptor tyrosine kinases. Somatic CBL mutations play a driver role in a variety of cancers, particularly myeloid malignancies, whereas germline defects in the same gene underlie a RASopathy having clinical overlap with Noonan syndrome (NS) and predisposing to juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and vasculitis. Other features of the disorder include cardiac defects, postnatal growth delay, cryptorchidism, facial dysmorphisms, and predisposition to develop autoimmune disorders. Here we report a novel CBL variant (c.1202G>T; p.Cys401Phe) occurring de novo in a subject with café-au-lait macules, feeding difficulties, mild dysmorphic features, psychomotor delay, autism spectrum disorder, thrombocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and recurrent hypertransaminasemia. The identified variant affects an evolutionarily conserved residue located in the RING finger domain, a known mutational hot spot of both germline and somatic mutations. Functional studies documented enhanced EGF-induced ERK phosphorylation in transiently transfected COS1 cells. The present findings further support the association of pathogenic CBL variants with immunological and hematological manifestations in the context of a presentation with only minor findings reminiscent of NS or a clinically related RASopathy.
