  text: The acyl-CoA-binding domain-containing protein 6 (ACBD6) is ubiquitously expressed,
    plays a role in the acylation of lipids and proteins, and regulates the N-myristoylation
    of proteins via N-myristoyltransferase enzymes (NMTs). However, its precise function
    in cells is still unclear, as is the consequence of ACBD6 defects on human pathophysiology.
    Utilizing exome sequencing and extensive international data sharing efforts, we
    identified 45 affected individuals from 28 unrelated families (consanguinity 93%)
    with bi-allelic pathogenic, predominantly loss-of-function (18/20) variants in
    ACBD6. We generated zebrafish and Xenopus tropicalis acbd6 knockouts by CRISPR/Cas9
    and characterized the role of ACBD6 on protein N-myristoylation with YnMyr chemical
    proteomics in the model organisms and human cells, with the latter also being
    subjected further to ACBD6 peroxisomal localization studies. The affected individuals
    (23 males and 22 females), with ages ranging from 1 to 50 years old, typically
    present with a complex and progressive disease involving moderate-to-severe global
    developmental delay/intellectual disability (100%) with significant expressive
    language impairment (98%), movement disorders (97%), facial dysmorphism (95%),
    and mild cerebellar ataxia (85%) associated with gait impairment (94%), limb spasticity/hypertonia
    (76%), oculomotor (71%) and behavioural abnormalities (65%), overweight (59%),
    microcephaly (39%) and epilepsy (33%). The most conspicuous and common movement
    disorder was dystonia (94%), frequently leading to early-onset progressive postural
    deformities (97%), limb dystonia (55%), and cervical dystonia (31%). A jerky tremor
    in the upper limbs (63%), a mild head tremor (59%), parkinsonism/hypokinesia developing
    with advancing age (32%), and simple motor and vocal tics were among other frequent
    movement disorders. Midline brain malformations including corpus callosum abnormalities
    (70%), hypoplasia/agenesis of the anterior commissure (66%), short midbrain and
    small inferior cerebellar vermis (38% each), as well as hypertrophy of the clava
    (24%) were common neuroimaging findings. acbd6-deficient zebrafish and Xenopus
    models effectively recapitulated many clinical phenotypes reported in patients
    including movement disorders, progressive neuromotor impairment, seizures, microcephaly,
    craniofacial dysmorphism, and midbrain defects accompanied by developmental delay
    with increased mortality over time. Unlike ACBD5, ACBD6 did not show a peroxisomal
    localisation and ACBD6-deficiency was not associated with altered peroxisomal
    parameters in patient fibroblasts. Significant differences in YnMyr-labelling
    were observed for 68 co- and 18 post-translationally N-myristoylated proteins
    in patient-derived fibroblasts. N-Myristoylation was similarly affected in acbd6-deficient
    zebrafish and Xenopus tropicalis models, including Fus, Marcks, and Chchd-related
    proteins implicated in neurological diseases. The present study provides evidence
    that bi-allelic pathogenic variants in ACBD6 lead to a distinct neurodevelopmental
    syndrome accompanied by complex and progressive cognitive and movement disorders.
