Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in ANO3 are a rare cause of autosomal dominant isolated or combined dystonia, mainly presenting in adulthood. CASES We extensively characterize a new, large ANO3 family with six affected carriers. The proband is a young girl who had suffered from tremor and painful dystonic movements in her right arm since the age of 11 years. She later developed a diffuse dystonic tremor and mild extrapyramidal signs (ie, rigidity and hypodiadochokinesis) in her right arm. She also suffered from psychomotor delay and learning difficulties. Repeated structural and functional neuroimaging were unremarkable. A dystonic tremor was also present in her two sisters. Her paternal aunt, father, and a third older sister presented episodic postural tremor in the arms. The father and one sister also presented learning difficulties. The heterozygous p.G6V variant in ANO3 was identified in all affected subjects. LITERATURE REVIEW Stratification by age at onset divided ANO3 cases into two major groups, where younger patients displayed a more severe phenotype, probably due to variants near the scrambling domain. CONCLUSIONS We describe the phenotype of a new ANO3 family and highlight the need for functional studies to explore the impact of ANO3 variants on its phospholipid scrambling activity.

Abstract
ANO3 encodes Anoctamin-3, also known as TMEM16C, a calcium-activated chloride channel. Heterozygous variants of ANO3 can cause dystonia 24, an adult-onset focal dystonia. Some pediatric cases have been reported, but most patients were intellectually normal with some exceptions. Here, we report a two-year-old girl who showed mild to moderate developmental delay, tremor, and ataxic gait, but no obvious dystonia. Trio exome sequencing identified a heterozygous de novo missense variant NM_031418.4:c.1809T>G, p.(Asn603Lys) in the ANO3 gene. Three cases with ANO3 variants and intellectual disability have been reported, including the present case. These variants were predicted to face in the same direction on the same alpha-helix (the transmembrane 4 domain), suggesting an association between these variants and childhood-onset movement disorder with intellectual disability. In pediatric cases with developmental delay and movement disorders such as tremor and ataxia, specific variants in the transmembrane 4 domain of ANO3 may be a cause, even in the absence of dystonia.

Abstract
This comprehensive MDSGene review is devoted to 7 genes - TOR1A, THAP1, GNAL, ANO3, PRKRA, KMT2B, and HPCA - mutations in which may cause isolated dystonia. It followed MDSGene's standardized data extraction protocol and screened a total of ~1200 citations. Phenotypic and genotypic data on ~1200 patients with 254 different mutations were curated and analyzed. There were differences regarding age at onset, site of onset, and distribution of symptoms across mutation carriers in all 7 genes. Although carriers of TOR1A, THAP1, PRKRA, KMT2B, or HPCA mutations mostly showed childhood and adolescent onset, patients with GNAL and ANO3 mutations often developed first symptoms in adulthood. GNAL and KMT2B mutation carriers frequently have 1 predominant site of onset, that is, the neck (GNAL) or the lower limbs (KMT2B), whereas site of onset in DYT-TOR1A, DYT-THAP1, DYT-ANO3, DYT-PRKRA, and DYT-HPCA was broader. However, in most DYT-THAP1 and DYT-ANO3 patients, dystonia first manifested in the upper half of the body (upper limb, neck, and craniofacial/laryngeal), whereas onset in DYT-TOR1A, DYT-PRKRA and DYT-HPCA was frequently observed in an extremity, including both upper and lower ones. For ANO3, a segmental/multifocal distribution was typical, whereas TOR1A, PRKRA, KMT2B, and HPCA mutation carriers commonly developed generalized dystonia. THAP1 mutation carriers presented with focal, segmental/multifocal, or generalized dystonia in almost equal proportions. GNAL mutation carriers rarely showed generalization. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of hereditary isolated dystonia. The data are also available in an online database (http://www.mdsgene.org), which additionally offers descriptive summary statistics. © 2021 The Authors.

ANO7: Insights into topology, function, and potential applications as a biomarker and immunotherapy target. Tissue Cell 2021; 72:101546.

Abstract
Anoctamin 7 (ANO7) is a member of the transmembrane protein TMEM16 family. It has a conservative topology similar to other members in this family, such as the typical eight-transmembrane domain, but it also has unique features. Although the ion channel role of ANO7 has been well accepted, evolutionary analyses and relevant studies suggest that ANO7 may be a multi-facet protein in function. Studies have shown that ANO7 may also function as a scramblase. ANO7 is highly expressed in prostate cancer as well as normal prostate tissues. A considerable amount of evidence has confirmed that ANO7 is associated with human physiology and pathology, particularly with the development of prostate cancer, which makes ANO7 a good candidate as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. In addition, ANO7 may be a potential target for prostate cancer immunotherapy. Antibody-based or T cell-mediated immunotherapies against prostate cancer by targeting ANO7 have been highly anticipated. ANO7 may also correlate with several other types of cancers or diseases, where further studies are warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dystonia is a movement disorder with high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Mutations in Anoctamin-3 (ANO3) gene have been reported to cause dystonia 24 (DYT24). This study aims to clarify the spectrum and frequency of ANO3 rare variants in Chinese populations with primary dystonia and understand the clinical and genetic features of DYT24. METHODS Sanger sequencing was used to screen all exons and exon-intron boundaries of ANO3 for rare variants in 115 primary dystonia patients. The clinical manifestations of patients with ANO3 variants in our study and previously reported literatures were further characterized. RESULTS Four distinct variants of ANO3 (c.1127A > G, c.1235 T > A, c.1531-3T > C, c.-11G > T) were identified in six unrelated individuals. Combined with our work and literature review, a total of 35 different rare variants distributed in ANO3 were identified in 62 dystonia patients. The predominant phenotype is cranio-cervical dystonia and more than half of patients develop head/limb tremor. Most of patients presented with isolated dystonia whereas few of them showed combined dystonia. The age of onset ranged from 1 to 69 years and peaked in late adulthood, while for generalized dystonia it peaked in a young age. Half of patients with generalized dystonia experienced deep brain stimulation (DBS). And all of them showed improvement of dystonia by DBS. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms a relatively high frequency of rare ANO3 variants in Chinese patients with dystonia and indicates that the late adulthood-onset, cranio-cervical dystonia seems to be an important feature of the ANO3 phenotype. Further functional studies are warranted to understand the role of ANO3 in dystonia.

Abstract
Four genes associated with isolated dystonia are currently well replicated and validated. DYT-THAP1 manifests as young-onset generalized dystonia with predominant craniocervical symptoms; and is associated with mostly deleterious missense variation in the THAP1 gene. De novo and inherited missense and protein truncating variation in GNAL as well as primarily missense variation in ANO3 cause isolated focal and/or segmental dystonia with preference for the upper half of the body and older ages at onset. The GAG deletion in TOR1A is associated with generalized dystonia with onset in childhood in the lower limbs. Rare variation in these genes causes monogenic sporadic and inherited forms of isolated dystonia; common variation may confer risk and imply that dystonia is a polygenic trait in a subset of cases. Although candidate gene screens have been successful in the past in detecting gene-disease associations, recent application of whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing methods enable unbiased capture of all genetic variation that may explain the phenotype. However, careful variant-level evaluation is necessary in every case, even in genes that have previously been associated with disease. We review the genetic architecture and phenotype of DYT-THAP1, DYT-GNAL, DYT-ANO3, and DYT-TOR1A by collecting case reports from the literature and performing variant classification using pathogenicity criteria.

Abstract
The genetic combined dystonias are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurologic disorders defined by the overlap of dystonia and other movement disorders such as parkinsonism or myoclonus. The number of genes associated with combined dystonia syndromes has been increasing due to the wider recognition of clinical features and broader use of genetic testing. Nevertheless, these diseases are still rare and represent only a small subgroup among all dystonias. Dopa-responsive dystonia (DYT/PARK-GCH1), rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (DYT/PARK-ATP1A3), X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP, DYT/PARK-TAF1), and young-onset dystonia-parkinsonism (DYT/PARK-PRKRA) are monogenic combined dystonias accompanied by parkinsonian features. Meanwhile, MYC/DYT-SGCE and MYC/DYT-KCTD17 are characterized by dystonia in combination with myoclonus. In the past, common molecular pathways between these syndromes were the center of interest. Although the encoded proteins rather affect diverse cellular functions, recent neurophysiological evidence suggests similarities in the underlying mechanism in a subset. This review summarizes recent developments in the combined dystonias, focusing on clinico-genetic features and neurophysiologic findings. Disease-modifying therapies remain unavailable to date; an overview of symptomatic therapies for these disorders is also presented.

Abstract
Mutations in the ANO3 gene have been associated with autosomal dominant craniocervical dystonia. However, little else is known about the genotype-phenotype characteristics of this disorder. Here we describe a 3 years-old girl with distal myoclonic dystonia. Whole exome sequencing in trio revealed a de novo missense ANO3 variant not previously described in international databases. A global psychomotor regression was observed once dystonia was present. Brain MRI changes paralleled these findings: whereas MRI at the age of 18 months was normal, mild brain and cerebellar atrophy was observed 18 months later. These results suggest that missense mutations in ANO3 may underlie complex disorders particularly characterized by early psychomotor regression and dystonia.
