Involved in regulation of intracellular signaling pathways during development. Specifically thought to play a role in canonical and/or non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways through interaction with DSH (Dishevelled) family proteins. The activation/inhibition of Wnt signaling may depend on the phosphorylation status. Proposed to regulate the degradation of CTNNB1/beta-catenin, thereby modulating the transcriptional activation of target genes of the Wnt signaling pathway. Its function in stabilizin

Neural tube defects
Congenital malformations of the central nervous system and adjacent structures related to defective neural tube closure during the first trimester of pregnancy. Failure of neural tube closure can occur at any level of the embryonic axis. Common NTD forms include anencephaly, myelomeningocele and spina bifida, which result from the failure of fusion in the cranial and spinal region of the neural tube. NTDs have a multifactorial etiology encompassing both genetic and environmental components.

Missense Variants in the Second Transmembrane Domain of TMEM17 Disrupt Its Stability and Function and Lead to a Wide Phenotypic Spectrum of Ciliopathies.
Ciliopathies are rare genetic disorders characterized by significant genetic and phenotypic variability. Over 140 proteins localized to primary cilia, which are sensory organelles essential for vertebrate development, are implicated. TMEM17 encodes a transmembrane protein at the ciliary transition zone and was previously proposed as a potential ciliopathy gene, based on reports of individuals from two families with orofaciodigital syndrome type 6 (OFD6) and Joubert syndrome (JS). Here, we report two unrelated fetuses with occipital encephalocele, polydactyly, and kidney cysts, in whom exome sequencing identified a founder homozygous missense variant (Arg94Trp) in TMEM17, affecting a highly conserved residue. This expands the TMEM17-associated phenotypic spectrum to include Meckel syndrome (MKS). Comprehensive functional analyses of all known TMEM17 variants, using patient tissues/cells and a C. elegans model system, demonstrate a loss-of-function mechanism. Our study reveals severe functional consequences, including TMEM17 destabilization and mislocalization, anomalies in cilium composition and function, and abrogation of Sonic Hedgehog signaling. These experiments confirm the pathogenicity of all TMEM17 variants and underscore its essential role at the ciliary transition zone. Collectively, our findings establish TMEM17 as a bona fide ciliopathy gene, associated with a wide phenotypic spectrum ranging from viable syndromes (OFD6 and JS) to a fetal-lethal condition (MKS).
Occipital encephalocele: prognostic factors of psychomotor delay and visual agnosia.
Occipital encephalocele is a rare neural tube defect that presents significant challenges. Despite advances in neurosurgery and prenatal imaging, it remains associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to define the neurodevelopmental outcomes of patients with occipital encephalocele, highlighting the incidence of psychomotor delay and visual agnosia, and identifying key prognostic factors that influence these outcomes. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study including all patients treated for occipital encephalocele at the Mongi Ben Hmida National Institute of Neurology in Tunis over a 23-year period. Demographic, clinical, radiological, surgical, and outcome data were collected from medical records and analyzed to identify postoperative complications and prognostic indicators. A total of 40 patients were treated, with a median age at surgery of 11.8 months and a female predominance (sex ratio 0.38). Hydrocephalus was the most frequent associated anomaly (40%). Postoperative complications included meningitis (12.5%) and secondary hydrocephalus (37.5%), with a mortality rate of 10%. Psychomotor delay was observed in 67.6% of cases and visual agnosia in 10%. Univariate analysis identified preoperative hydrocephalus, herniation of functional brain tissue, and delayed surgery as significant adverse prognostic factors. Occipital encephalocele remains a severe congenital anomaly with considerable neurodevelopmental impact. Delayed surgical intervention, the presence of herniated functional brain tissue, and postoperative hydrocephalus negatively impact outcomes. A multidisciplinary management approach and early neurodevelopmental follow-up are essential to improve long-term prognosis and quality of life for these patients.
Recurrence of occipital meningocele in 2 fetal sibs due to monoallelic MSX2 variant.
Occipital encephaloceles are neural tube abnormalities characterized by a median defect of the occipital bone with herniation of brain structures usually contained in a membranous sac. Intracranial structures that protrude range from meninges (meningocele) to cerebral tissue such as occipital lobes, rarely cerebellum, brainstem or torcula. We present two fetal sibs with occipital meningocele caused by a maternal MSX2 variant identified by whole genome sequencing. Apart from the occipital meningocele, other cerebral abnormalities were found which led to the termination of the two pregnancies. The autopsy confirmed the prenatal findings. Upon clinical examination of the mother, a small scalp defect was discovered consistent with MSX2 gene variant. To our knowledge, only one case of occipital meningocele caused by MSX2 gene haploinsufficiency has been reported, with maternal inheritance. This paper is aimed at confirming the link between MSX2 gene variant and fetal occipital encephalocele, as well as its clinical variability.
Unforeseen Changes after Discontinuing Artificial Nutrition in a Patient with Giant Encephalocele.
Infants born with occipital encephalocele carry a high morbidity and mortality risk. Palliative care plays a central role in their management, which is difficult due to variability in outcomes and prognosis. An infant with an inoperable giant occipital who had remained admitted to the hospital since birth experienced a progressive decline in mental status and quality of life. Her family made the decision to stop enteral nutrition at 18 months of age. In contrast to the expectation of progressive fading of consciousness, the patient became increasingly alert and agitated with notable improvement in neurological status. Simultaneously, her encephalocele significantly decreased in size. The patient's protracted end-of-life course with signs of sustained hydration, along with improved mentation and encephalocele size reduction, suggests that fluid within the defect was systemically resorbed. This case demonstrates how individual disease pathophysiology can impact the end-of-life course.
Meckel-Gruber syndrome: a rare and fatal congenital disorder (case report).
Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by multiple malformations. It transmits via a recessive autosomal mode. It is characterized by an occipital encephalocele, polydactyly, and polycystic renal dysplasia. The diagnosis could be established via ultrasound. In fact, it is actually the key method for the early screening of this lethal malformation with at least two of its main characteristics. However, the diagnosis is confirmed by karyotype analysis. Herein, we present a case of Meckel-Gruber syndrome diagnosed in a fetus from a consanguineous marriage in a 40-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 1, with one previous healthy child. This pregnancy was terminated at 19 weeks of gestation. The diagnosis was made through prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With later confirmation by fetal autopsy.
