Diagnosis delay a family of Galloway-MowatSyndrome caused by a classical splicing mutation of Lage3. Galloway-Mowatsyndrome (GAMOS) is a group of rare hereditary diseases by the combination of early onset steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and microcephaly with brain anomalies caused by WDR73, LAGE3, OSGEP, TP53RK, TPRKB, GON7, WDR4 or NUP133 mutations. We present the clinical
Novel homozygous OSGEP gene pathogenic variants in two unrelated patients with Galloway-Mowatsyndrome: case report and review of the literature. Galloway-Mowatsyndrome (GAMOS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early-onset nephrotic syndrome and microcephaly with brain anomalies. WDR73 pathogenic variants were described as the first genetic cause of GAMOS and, very
A familial case of Galloway-Mowatsyndrome due to a novel TP53RK mutation: a case report. Galloway-Mowatsyndrome (GAMOS) is a rare hereditary renal-neurological disease characterized by early-onset steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in combination with microcephaly and brain anomalies. Recently, novel causative mutations for this disease have been identified in the genes encoding the four
Homozygous splicing mutation in NUP133 causes Galloway-Mowatsyndrome. Galloway-Mowatsyndrome (GAMOS) is a neural and renal disorder, characterized by microcephaly, brain anomalies, and early onset nephrotic syndrome. Biallelic mutations in WDR73 and the 4 subunit genes of the KEOPS complex are reported to cause GAMOS. Furthermore, an identical homozygous NUP107 (nucleoporin 107kDa) mutation
Extending the ophthalmological phenotype of Galloway-Mowatsyndrome with distinct retinal dysfunction: a report and review of ocular findings. Galloway-Mowatsyndrome (GMS) is a rare autosomal recessive condition first described in 1968 and characterized by microcephaly and infantile onset of central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities resulting in severely delayed psychomotor development
Homozygous mutation in NUP107 leads to microcephaly with steroid-resistant nephrotic condition similar to Galloway-Mowatsyndrome. Microcephaly with nephrotic syndrome is a rare co-occurrence, constituting the Galloway-Mowatsyndrome (GAMOS), caused by mutations in (OMIM: 616144). However, not all patients harbour demonstrable deleterious variants, suggesting that there are other yet
Collapsing Glomerulopathy in a Child with Galloway-MowatSyndromeGalloway-Mowatsyndrome (GMS) is an autosomal recessive disorder with a poor prognosis that was first defined as a triad of central nervous system involvement, hiatal hernia, and nephrotic syndrome. However, this syndrome is now known to have a heterogeneous clinical presentation. The nephrotic syndrome is steroid resistant
Nonsense mutation in the WDR73 gene is associated with Galloway-Mowatsyndrome. Neuroanatomical defects are often present in children with severe developmental delay and intellectual disabilities. Few genetic loci have been associated with disorders of neurodevelopment. Our objective of the present study was to analyse a consanguineous Arab family showing some of the hallmark signs of a rare and morphogenesis defect in wdr73 knockdown embryos resulting in a poorly differentiated midbrain and cerebellum. The results provide new insight into the functional role of WDR73 in brain development and show that perturbation of its function in an inherited disorder in humans is associated with cerebellar hypoplasia as well as nephrotic disease, consistent with Galloway-MowatSyndrome.
Recessive nephrocerebellar syndrome on the Galloway-Mowatsyndrome spectrum is caused by homozygous protein-truncating mutations of WDR73. We describe a novel nephrocerebellar syndrome on the Galloway-Mowatsyndrome spectrum among 30 children (ages 1.0 to 28 years) from diverse Amish demes. Children with nephrocerebellar syndrome had progressive microcephaly, visual impairment, stagnant the Galloway-Mowatsyndrome spectrum with the first description of diencephalic and striatal neuropathology.
Loss-of-Function Mutations in WDR73 Are Responsible for Microcephaly and Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome: Galloway-MowatSyndrome. Galloway-Mowatsyndrome is a rare autosomal-recessive condition characterized by nephrotic syndrome associated with microcephaly and neurological impairment. Through a combination of autozygosity mapping and whole-exome sequencing, we identified WDR73 as a gene in which mutations cause Galloway-Mowatsyndrome in two unrelated families. WDR73 encodes a WD40-repeat-containing protein of unknown function. Here, we show that WDR73 was present in the brain and kidney and was located diffusely in the cytoplasm during interphase but relocalized to spindle poles and astral microtubules during mitosis. Fibroblasts from one affected child and WDR73-depleted podocytes
(Galloway-Mowatsyndrome); in addition to the renal phenotype, the latter also includes intellectual deficiency and dysmorphic features. Pregnancy termination made it impossible to assess whether the NUP107 variants found would have resulted in isolated or syndromic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. However, identifying the responsible gene improved the accuracy of the genetic counseling. This family

The transcription factor ATF4 mediates endoplasmic reticulum stress-related podocyte injury and slit diaphragm defects. Mutations in OSGEP and four other genes that encode subunits of the KEOPS complex cause Galloway-Mowatsyndrome, a severe, inherited kidney-neurological disease. The complex catalyzes an essential posttranscriptional modification of tRNA and its loss of function induces
ER stress and slit diaphragms: is there a connection? Galloway-Mowatsyndrome is a neurorenal syndrome that has been linked with defective transfer RNA and protein translation caused by variants in the multiprotein complex KEOPS. In the kidney, this syndrome seems to primarily affect the podocytes, but the pathogenesis has remained unclear. In this issue of Kidney International, Krausel et al
Nephrological and urological complications of homozygous c.974G>A (p.Arg325Gln) OSGEP mutations. Galloway-Mowatsyndrome (GAMOS) (OMIM #251300) is a severe autosomal recessive disease characterized by the combination of early-onset steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and microcephaly with brain anomalies caused by WDR73 as well as OSGEP, TP53RK, TPRKB, or LAGE3 mutations. We report
Mutations in KEOPS-complex genes cause nephrotic syndrome with primary microcephaly. Galloway-Mowatsyndrome (GAMOS) is an autosomal-recessive disease characterized by the combination of early-onset nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and microcephaly with brain anomalies. Here we identified recessive mutations in OSGEP, TP53RK, TPRKB, and LAGE3, genes encoding the four subunits of the KEOPS complex, in 37
An Amish founder mutation disrupts a PI(3)P-WHAMM-Arp2/3 complex–driven autophagosomal remodeling pathway Actin nucleation factors function to organize, shape, and move membrane-bound organelles, yet they remain poorly defined in relation to disease. Galloway-Mowatsyndrome (GMS) is an inherited disorder characterized by microcephaly and nephrosis resulting from mutations in the gene
Extending the Mutation Spectrum for Galloway–Mowat Syndrome to Include Homozygous Missense Mutations in the WDR73 Gene Galloway-Mowatsyndrome is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder classically described as the combination of microcephaly and nephrotic syndrome. Recently, homozygous truncating mutations in WDR73 (WD repeat domain 73) were described in two of 31 unrelated families with Galloway . An additional 13 families with microcephaly and renal phenotype were negative for WDR73 mutations. Missense mutations in the WDR73 gene are reported for the first time in Galloway-Mowatsyndrome. A detailed phenotypic comparison of all reported WDR73-linked Galloway-Mowatsyndrome patients with WDR73 negative patients showed that WDR73 mutations are limited to those with classical Galloway-Mowatsyndrome
