This adds to growing evidence of inherited disease-causing variants in CSNK2A1, an observation reported only twice previously. A detailed phenotypic analysis of our cohort together with those individuals reported in the literature revealed that OCNDS individuals, on average, have a smaller head circumference with 1/3<sup>rd</sup> presenting with microcephaly.

The current sustained increase in reported RLIM variants of uncertain significance creates an urgent need to develop assays that can screen these variants and experimentally determine their pathogenicity and disease association. Here, we engineered flow cytometry-based RLIM-specific reporters to measure RLIM activity in TOKAS.

Our data demonstrates that RLIM-specific flow cytometry reporters based on either the full length or a degron region of the substrate REX1 measure RLIM activity in cells. Further, we describe the TOKAS variant RLIM p.Asn581Lys and using reporter assays, determine that it disrupts RLIM catalytic activity.

A nonsense variant in the DALR Anticodon Binding Domain Containing 3 (DALRD3) gene has been implicated in epileptic encephalopathy but no other disease-associated variants in DALRD3 have been described. In human cells, the DALRD3 protein forms a complex with the METTL2 methyltransferase to generate the 3-methylcytosine (m3C) modification in specific arginine tRNAs. Here, we identify an individual with a homozygous missense variant in DALRD3 who displays developmental delay, cognitive deficiencies, and multifocal epilepsy. The missense variant substitutes an arginine residue to cysteine (R517C) within the DALR domain of the DALRD3 protein that is required for binding tRNAs. Cells derived from the individual homozygous for the DALRD3-R517C variant exhibit reduced levels of m3C modification in arginine tRNAs, indicating that the R517C variant impairs DALRD3 function. Notably, the DALRD3-R517C protein displays reduced association with METTL2 and loss of interaction with substrate tRNAs.

We integrated genome-wide association study (GWAS) data with epigenomic and transcriptomic datasets of human immune cells. To quantify enrichment of cell type-specific open chromatin or gene expression in AS risk loci, we used three published methods - LDSC-SEG, SNPsea, scDRS - that have successfully identified relevant cell types in other diseases. Natural killer (NK) cell-specific open chromatin regions are significantly enriched in heritability for AS, compared to other immune cell types such as T cells, B cells, and monocytes.

Using the human Space-Time Gut Cell Atlas, we also found significant upregulation of AS-associated genes predominantly in NK cells. We performed co-localization analyses between GWAS risk loci and genetic variants associated with gene expression (eQTL) to find putative target genes. This revealed four AS risk loci affecting regulation of candidate target genes in NK cells: two known loci, ERAP1 and TNFRSF1A, and two under-studied loci, ENTR1 (aka SDCCAG3) and B3GNT2.
