Summary

Clinical characteristics.

INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia is characterized by prenatal-onset short stature, short, bowed limbs, characteristic facial features (relative macrocephaly, prominent forehead, midface retrusion, depressed nasal bridge, short nose, anteverted nares, relatively long philtrum), narrow thorax, small hands and feet, delayed epiphyseal mineralization, metaphyseal cupping, and platyspondyly. Complications include increased risk of fractures, cervical spine abnormalities, scoliosis, bone pain, respiratory issues, and delayed gross motor skills. Some individuals have cardiac or kidney manifestations. Prognosis is variable with perinatal demise in some infants.

Diagnosis/testing.

The diagnosis of INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia is established in a proband with characteristic clinical and radiographic features and biallelic pathogenic variants in INPPL1 identified by molecular genetic testing.

Management.

Targeted therapy: Intravenous bisphosphonate therapy has improved bone mineral density and gross motor function in two individuals with INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia.

Supportive care: Cervical spine complications should be managed by specialists familiar with skeletal dysplasias involving the spine including an orthopedist and neurosurgeon; surgical stabilization should be performed to prevent progressive myelopathy; management of scoliosis per orthopedist with surgery when indicated; management of hypophosphatemia, renal phosphate wasting, and bone demineralization per endocrinologist; treatment of respiratory insufficiency per pulmonologist; vaccines to prevent respiratory illnesses; CPAP and surgical management as needed for sleep apnea; feeding therapy with modification of fluid or food texture as needed for swallowing difficulties; aerodigestive evaluation for endoscopy and surgery as needed; management of cardiac manifestations per cardiologist; management of renal manifestations per nephrologist and/or urologist; amplification/hearing device and/or surgery when indicated for hearing impairment; social work and family support.

Surveillance: Flexion/extension cervical spine MRI every three months until cervical instability can be excluded in those with instability, risk of cervical cord compression, or limited radiograph interpretation; then MRI every two to three years, preoperatively, and when indicated. Clinical examination for scoliosis every six to 12 months with radiographs when indicated; endocrinology evaluation for hypophosphatemia and renal phosphate wasting every six to 12 months and when indicated; DXA scan when indicated; pulmonary function studies, chest radiographs, swallowing evaluation, and sleep study every six to 12 months and when indicated per pulmonologist; swallowing evaluation as indicated to evaluate for aspiration; developmental assessment to assess gross motor skills annually or as needed; rehabilitation medicine, physical therapy, and occupational therapy consultations when indicated to evaluate function and need for adaptive devices and to support activities of daily living and mobility; clinical cardiac examination with frequency per cardiologist; audiology evaluation annually or as needed; ENT and orthodontic evaluations as needed; assess family and social work needs at each visit.

Agents/circumstances to avoid: Individuals with cervical spine instability or who are at risk for cervical spine instability should avoid extreme neck flexion and extension, contact sports, and other at-risk activities. Individuals with bone demineralization should avoid contact sports and other activities associated with an increased risk for fractures.

Evaluation of relatives at risk: It is appropriate to clarify the genetic status of apparently asymptomatic at-risk sibs of an affected individual in order to identify as early as possible those who would benefit from prompt initiation of targeted therapy.

Genetic counseling.

INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. If both parents are known to be heterozygous for an INPPL1 pathogenic variant, each sib of an affected individual has at conception a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected and not a carrier. Once the INPPL1 pathogenic variants have been identified in an affected family member, carrier testing for at-risk relatives and prenatal/preimplantation genetic testing are possible.

Diagnosis

Suggestive Findings

INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia should be suspected in a proband with the following clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings and family history.

Clinical findings

  • Prenatal-onset disproportionate short stature with short limbs
  • Characteristic facial features (relative macrocephaly, prominent forehead, midface retrusion, depressed nasal bridge, short nose, anteverted nares, and a relatively long philtrum)
  • Narrow thorax
  • Small hands and feet
  • Respiratory insufficiency

Laboratory findings

  • Severe renal phosphate wasting
  • Hypophosphatemia

Imaging findings

  • Shortened, bowed long bones
  • Narrow thorax
  • Delayed epiphyseal mineralization (See Figure 1 and Figure 2.)
  • Platyspondyly
  • Metaphyseal cupping (See Figure 3.)
  • Short and broad metacarpals and phalanges with square appearance, flared metaphyses, and irregular ossification (patchy, with some areas less ossified than others)
  • Additional radiographic findings can include handlebar clavicles, hypoplastic and square iliac wings, hypoplastic pubic bones, horizontal acetabular roof, acetabular dysplasia, coxa vara, broad femoral heads, small tapered middle phalanges, and calcaneal spurs.

Family history is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance (e.g., affected sibs and/or parental consanguinity). Absence of a known family history does not preclude the diagnosis.

Establishing the Diagnosis

The diagnosis of INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia is established in a proband with suggestive findings and biallelic pathogenic (or likely pathogenic) variants in INPPL1 identified by molecular genetic testing (see Table 1).

Note: (1) Per ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines, the terms "pathogenic variants" and "likely pathogenic variants" are synonymous in a clinical setting, meaning that both are considered diagnostic and can be used for clinical decision making [Richards et al 2015]. Reference to "pathogenic variants" in this GeneReview is understood to include likely pathogenic variants. (2) Identification of biallelic INPPL1 variants of uncertain significance (or of one known INPPL1 pathogenic variant and one INPPL1 variant of uncertain significance) does not establish or rule out the diagnosis.

Molecular genetic testing approaches can include a combination of gene-targeted testing (single gene testing, multigene panel) and comprehensive genomic testing (exome sequencing, genome sequencing). Gene-targeted testing requires that the clinician determine which gene(s) are likely involved (see Option 1), whereas comprehensive genomic testing does not (see Option 2).

Option 1

Single-gene testing. Sequence analysis of INPPL1 is performed first to detect missense, nonsense, and splice site variants and small intragenic deletions/insertions. Note: Depending on the sequencing method used, single-exon, multiexon, or whole-gene deletions/duplications may not be detected. If only one or no variant is detected by the sequencing method used, the next step is to perform gene-targeted deletion/duplication analysis to detect exon and whole-gene deletions or duplications.

A skeletal dysplasia multigene panel that includes INPPL1 and other genes of interest (see Differential Diagnosis) may be considered to identify the genetic cause of the condition while limiting identification of pathogenic variants and variants of uncertain significance in genes that do not explain the underlying phenotype. Note: (1) The genes included in the panel and the diagnostic sensitivity of the testing used for each gene vary by laboratory and are likely to change over time. (2) Some multigene panels may include genes not associated with the condition discussed in this GeneReview. (3) In some laboratories, panel options may include a custom laboratory-designed panel and/or custom phenotype-focused exome analysis that includes genes specified by the clinician. (4) Methods used in a panel may include sequence analysis, deletion/duplication analysis, and/or other non-sequencing-based tests.

For an introduction to multigene panels click here. More detailed information for clinicians ordering genetic tests can be found here.

Option 2

When the phenotype is indistinguishable from many other skeletal dysplasias, comprehensive genomic testing does not require the clinician to determine which gene is likely involved. Exome sequencing is most commonly used; genome sequencing is also possible.

Below et al [2013] and data derived from the subscription-based professional view of Human Gene Mutation Database [Stenson et al 2020]

5.

Gene-targeted deletion/duplication analysis detects intragenic deletions or duplications. Methods used may include a range of techniques such as quantitative PCR, long-range PCR, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and a gene-targeted microarray designed to detect single-exon deletions or duplications.

6.

To date, no large intragenic deletions/duplications have been reported in individuals with INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia. The largest deletion to date, a 28-bp deletion at c.94_121, would be detected by sequence analysis [Huber et al 2013, Silveira et al 2021]

Clinical Characteristics

Clinical Description

INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia is characterized by prenatal-onset short stature, short limbs, small hands and feet, narrow thorax, dysmorphic facial features (including relative macrocephaly, prominent forehead, midface retrusion, depressed nasal bridge, short nose, anteverted nares, and relatively long philtrum), delayed epiphyseal mineralization, metaphyseal cupping, and platyspondyly. To date, 35 individuals have been identified with biallelic pathogenic variants in INPPL1 [Below et al 2013, Huber et al 2013, Iida et al 2013, Li et al 2014, Feist et al 2016, Ghosh et al 2017, Abumansour et al 2021, Silveira et al 2021]. The following description of the phenotypic features associated with this condition is based on these reports.

Prenatal. Reported prenatal ultrasound findings reflect the underlying skeletal differences, including short limbs, short long bones, short hands and feet, narrow thorax, bell-shaped thorax, platyspondyly, and decreased bone echogenicity. Increased nuchal translucency, cystic hygroma, and hydrops have been reported. Both oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios have been reported.

Craniofacial features. The described craniofacial configuration frequently includes relative macrocephaly, large fontanelles, prominent forehead, tall forehead, frontal bossing, hypertelorism, midface retrusion, depressed nasal bridge, short nose, anteverted nares, and relatively long philtrum. Macrocephaly (head circumference greater than two standard deviations [SD] above the mean) has been reported in a small number of individuals [Below et al 2013, Ghosh et al 2017]. Other reported craniofacial features include coarse facies, brachycephaly, proptosis, shallow orbits, low-set ears, high-arched palate, macro- or microstomia, retrognathia, micrognathia, and short neck.

Growth. Prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency are reported in all affected individuals. Short stature is disproportionate, with short limbs. Below et al [2013] reported birth lengths ranging from 43 to 49 cm, but the corresponding gestational ages at birth were not clearly indicated. Growth deficiency is progressive. One affected female had a birth length of 38 cm (at full term) and height of 65 cm (more than 6 SD below the mean) at age nine years [Iida et al [2013]. Li et al [2014] reported progressive short stature in the first two years of life in a preterm female; height at age seven years was 78 cm, and final adult height was 101 cm at age 21 years.

Musculoskeletal manifestations

  • Osteopenia leads to bowing of the long bones and an increased risk of fractures. To date, fractures have not been reported at birth. Below et al [2013] reported fractures in three individuals, including rib fractures in one child at age three years. Fractures of the radius and fibulae were reported in one individual at age seven years [Li et al 2014]. Increased risk for fractures is likely related to the extent of bony demineralization.
  • Cervical spine complications include odontoid hypoplasia, os odontoideum, small foramen magnum, and cervical spinal canal stenosis.
  • Scoliosis. Huber et al [2013] described severe scoliosis in three individuals; one individual underwent surgery for scoliosis. Age of onset and progression of scoliosis have not been specifically described in individuals with INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia, although scoliosis appears progressive [D Earl & K White, personal observations].
  • Flexion contractures. Limited elbow extension has been noted at birth [Li et al 2014]. Mild elbow flexion contracture was reported in one individual and mild knee contracture in two individuals [Below et al 2013].
  • Skeletal deformities and pain contribute to the challenges with walking. Such deformities may be surgically addressed. Walkers and wheelchairs are reported to aid mobility.

Respiratory issues. Contributions to respiratory insufficiency include restrictive lung disease from a narrow small thorax, severe scoliosis, pulmonary hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension, recurrent infections (including pneumonia and aspiration pneumonia), reactive airway disease, obstructive sleep apnea, tracheomalacia, and bronchial narrowing. For some individuals, respiratory support includes intubation and mechanical ventilation. Two reported individuals required tracheostomy [Below et al 2013, Iida et al 2013]. Many individuals develop chronic lung disease. Respiratory issues may be severe and life-limiting.

Development. Affected individuals often have gross motor delays, with delayed onset of walking. One individual was described as wheelchair dependent [Below et al 2013]. Another individual started walking at age two years, stopped walking at age 2.5 years, but was then able to walk again after phosphate replacement therapy [Li et al 2014]. Two sibs demonstrated improved mobility following treatment with intravenous pamidronate [Khwaja et al 2015].

Normal intelligence has been reported, while cognitive impairment has not been specifically noted [Below et al 2013, Huber et al 2013, Iida et al 2013]. Cognitive outcomes are not uniformly commented upon across case reports. To date, the expectation is that cognition is not directly impacted in INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia.

Cardiac manifestations. Dilated cardiomyopathy was identified in one individual at age 2.5 years [Below et al 2013, Khwaja et al 2015]. Atrial septal defect was reported in two individuals [Below et al 2013, Abumansour et al 2021]. Tricuspid valve prolapse and mitral valve prolapse were reported in one individual at age 3.5 years [Huber et al 2013]. Abnormal tricuspid valve with regurgitation was identified at birth in one individual [Abumansour et al 2021].

Kidney manifestations. Absent kidney, hypoplastic kidney, and hydronephrosis have each been reported in one individual [Below et al 2013, Huber et al 2013, Abumansour et al 2021].

Other. Hearing loss and posterior cleft palate have each been reported in one individual [Below et al 2013].

Prognosis. At least two stillbirths have been reported in infants with INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia. Among the 21 liveborn infants, three were reported to have died in the perinatal period (30 minutes to 12 days) [Huber et al 2013, Abumansour et al 2021]. One infant died at 12 days after withdrawal of support for poor cardiorespiratory status in the context of apparently lethal skeletal dysplasia [Abumansour et al 2021]. There is variable life span; the oldest reported individual is age 24 years [Below et al 2013]. The cause of death beyond the perinatal period has not been specifically reported in individuals with INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia. In those with clinical and radiographic features of opsismodysplasia, diagnosed prior to the availability of molecular genetic testing, death secondary to respiratory failure has been reported [Cormier-Daire et al 2003].

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations

No clinically relevant genotype-phenotype correlations have been identified.

Nomenclature

INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia is included in Group 14 (severe spondylodysplastic dysplasias) of the Nosology of Genetic Skeletal Disorders: 2023 Revision [Unger et al 2023]. Of note, INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia overlaps Group 13 (spondyloepi[meta]physeal dysplasias) and Group 14 in the Skeletal Nosology.

Prevalence

INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia is rare and the exact prevalence is unknown.

Differential Diagnosis

Biallelic pathogenic variants in INPPL1 were identified in approximately 60% of individuals with opsismodysplasia in one cohort [Below et al 2013]. The genetic etiology has not been identified in some individuals with clinical findings consistent with opsismodysplasia [Below et al 2013, Iida et al 2013].

Management

No clinical practice guidelines have been published for INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia. Recommended initial evaluations, treatment, and surveillance are adapted from case reports and best practice guidelines for skeletal dysplasia management [Zeger et al 2007, Iida et al 2013, Khwaja et al 2015, White et al 2017, Savarirayan et al 2018, White et al 2020, Savarirayan et al 2021].

Treatment of Manifestations

There is no cure for INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia.

Targeted Therapy

In GeneReviews, a targeted therapy is one that addresses the specific underlying mechanism of disease causation (regardless of whether the therapy is significantly efficacious for one or more manifestation of the genetic condition); would otherwise not be considered without knowledge of the underlying genetic cause of the condition; or could lead to a cure. —ED

There has been a single report of intravenous bisphosphonate therapy in two sibs with INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia and bony demineralization to improve bone mineral density [Khwaja et al 2015]. The clinical manifestations in the older sib were more severe, and included renal phosphate wasting, progressive bony demineralization, and respiratory failure. Both sibs demonstrated improvement in bone mineral density (measured by serial DXA scans and clinical course). In the older sib, pamidronate infusions were started at age three years and three months. He started to walk and had improved pulmonary function after initiating treatment and was able to run by age ten years. The younger sib was diagnosed at birth following molecular genetic testing. Pamidronate infusions were started at age 14 months after identification of diminished bone mineral density; authors reported normal to increased bone mineral density with treatment.

Supportive Care

Supportive care to improve quality of life, maximize function, and reduce complications is recommended. This ideally involves multidisciplinary care by specialists in relevant fields (see Table 5).

Agents/Circumstances to Avoid

Individuals with cervical spine instability or who are at risk for cervical spine instability should avoid extreme neck flexion and extension, contact sports, and other at-risk activities.

Individuals with bone demineralization should avoid contact sports and other activities associated with an increased risk for fractures.

Evaluation of Relatives at Risk

It is appropriate to clarify the genetic status of apparently asymptomatic at-risk sibs of an affected individual in order to identify as early as possible those who would benefit from prompt initiation of targeted therapy. Early diagnosis and initiation of treatment may improve outcome.

See Genetic Counseling for issues related to testing of at-risk relatives for genetic counseling purposes.

Pregnancy Management

To date, there are no published reports of pregnancies in women with INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia. For general recommendations regarding best practice guidelines for prenatal evaluation and delivery of individuals with skeletal dysplasia, see Savarirayan et al [2018].

Therapies Under Investigation

Search ClinicalTrials.gov in the US and EU Clinical Trials Register in Europe for access to information on clinical studies for a wide range of diseases and conditions. Note: There may not be clinical trials for this disorder.

Genetic Counseling

Genetic counseling is the process of providing individuals and families with information on the nature, mode(s) of inheritance, and implications of genetic disorders to help them make informed medical and personal decisions. The following section deals with genetic risk assessment and the use of family history and genetic testing to clarify genetic status for family members; it is not meant to address all personal, cultural, or ethical issues that may arise or to substitute for consultation with a genetics professional. —ED.

Mode of Inheritance

INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

Risk to Family Members

Parents of a proband

  • The parents of an affected child are presumed to be heterozygous for an INPPL1 pathogenic variant.
  • Molecular genetic testing is recommended for the parents of a proband to confirm that both parents are heterozygous for an INPPL1 pathogenic variant and to allow reliable recurrence risk assessment.
  • If a pathogenic variant is detected in only one parent and parental identity testing has confirmed biological maternity and paternity, it is possible that one of the pathogenic variants identified in the proband occurred as a de novo event in the proband or as a postzygotic de novo event in a mosaic parent [Jónsson et al 2017]. If the proband appears to have homozygous pathogenic variants (i.e., the same two pathogenic variants), additional possibilities to consider include:
  • Heterozygotes (carriers) are asymptomatic and are not at risk of developing the disorder.

Sibs of a proband

  • If both parents are known to be heterozygous for an INPPL1 pathogenic variant, each sib of an affected individual has at conception a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected and not a carrier.
  • Heterozygotes (carriers) are asymptomatic and are not at risk of developing the disorder.

Offspring of a proband. To date, individuals with INPPL1-related opsismodysplasia are not known to reproduce.

Other family members. Each sib of the proband's parents is at a 50% risk of being a carrier of an INPPL1 pathogenic variant.

Carrier Detection

Carrier testing for at-risk relatives requires prior identification of the INPPL1 pathogenic variants in the family.

Related Genetic Counseling Issues

Family planning

  • The optimal time for determination of genetic risk and discussion of the availability of prenatal/preimplantation genetic testing is before pregnancy.
  • It is appropriate to offer genetic counseling (including discussion of potential risks to offspring and reproductive options) to young adults who are affected, are carriers, or are at risk of being carriers.

Prenatal Testing and Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Once the INPPL1 pathogenic variants have been identified in an affected family member, prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing are possible.

Differences in perspective may exist among medical professionals and within families regarding the use of prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing. While most health care professionals would consider use of prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing to be a personal decision, discussion of these issues may be helpful.

Molecular Pathogenesis

INPPL1 encodes phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate 5-phosphatase 2 (also known as SH2 domain-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase 2, or SHIP2). SHIP2 not only dephosphorylates PI(3,4,5)P3 to generate PI(3,4)P2 but also acts as a docking protein that interacts with numerous components of the cytoskeleton. Loss of function of SHIP2 is the proposed mechanism of disease causation [Fradet & Fitzgerald 2017]. The exact role of SHIP2 in endochondral ossification is unknown.

Ghosh et al [2017] collected fibroblasts from affected individuals and apparently healthy, age-matched controls. The variants from the affected individuals were expected to lead to premature termination or abolish the catalytic activity of the SH2 domain. Fibroblasts derived from the affected individuals demonstrated lack of SHIP2 expression, deceased cell velocity, decreased cell migration, and increased cell adhesion. The authors suggested that the phosphatase activity and the roles of SHIP2 in adhesion, migration, proliferation, and polarity regulated chondrocyte organization and endochondral ossification. Therefore, loss of function may lead to the observed disorganization of the growth plate with absence of the columnar arrangement of proliferative cells as well as a reduced hypertrophic zone [Huber et al 2013].
