Homozygous missense WIPI2 variants cause a congenital disorder of autophagy with neurodevelopmental impairments of variable clinical severity and disease course

WIPI2 is a member of the human WIPI protein household (seven-bladed b-propeller proteins binding phosphatidylinositols, PROPPINs), which play a pivotal position in autophagy and has been implicated within the pathogenesis of a number of neurological situations. The homozygous WIPI2 variant c.745G>A; p.(Val249Met) (NM_015610.4) has not too long ago been related to a neurodevelopmental dysfunction in a single household.…
