We investigated an Amish family in which three siblings presented with an early-onset childhood retinal dystrophy inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Genome-wide linkage analysis identified significant linkage to marker D2S2216 on 2q11 with a two-point LOD score of 1.95 and a multi-point LOD score of 3.76. Whole exome sequencing was then performed for the three affected individuals and identified a homozygous nonsense mutation (c.C1813T, p.R605X) in the cyclin and CBS domain divalent metal cation transport mediator 4 (CNNM4) gene located within the 2p14-2q14 Jalili syndrome locus. The initial assessment and collection of the family were performed before the clinical delineation of Jalili syndrome. Another assessment was made after the discovery of the responsible gene and the dental abnormalities characteristic of Jalili syndrome were retrospectively identified. The p.R605X mutation represents the first probable founder mutation of Jalili syndrome identified in the Amish community. The molecular mechanism underlying Jalili syndrome is unknown. Here we show that CNNM4 interacts with IQCB1, which causes Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) when mutated. A truncated CNNM4 protein starting at R605 significantly increased the rate of apoptosis, and significantly increased the interaction between CNNM4 and IQCB1. Mutation p.R605X may cause Jalili syndrome by a nonsense-mediated decay mechanism, affecting the function of IQCB1 and apoptosis, or both. Our data, for the first time, functionally link Jalili syndrome gene CNNM4 to LCA gene IQCB1, providing important insights into the molecular pathogenic mechanism of retinal dystrophy in Jalili syndrome.
