From: Gain and loss of TASK3 channel function and its regulation by novel variation cause KCNK9 imprinting syndrome

Fig. 1

Individuals with KCNK9 imprinting syndrome. A KCNK9 coding exons showing all variants by predicted protein change using ProteinPaint (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital). The number in the circle represents the number of families described with the variant, no number = 1 family. Previously published variants are gray. B TASK3 protein topology schematic showing the location of variants. C Conservation of residues affected by variants. Bars in top line indicate variant position. D Front and profile photos of individuals with KCNK9 variants. The age at time of photograph is: P2.1: 1y 6 m, P3.1: 9y, P6.1: 10y 3 m, P7.1: 9y, P8.1: 1y 5 m, P9.1: 12y-18y, P9.2: 12y-18y, P12.1: 2y 2 m; P13.1: 6y 1 m, P15.1: 58y, P16.1: 17y, P18.1 (updated photo, Pt. 1, Graham et al. 2016): 6y, P23.1: 1y 3 m, P24.1: left 3 m, right 5y, P27.1: 6y 1 m, P27.2: 8y1m, P27.3: 28y, P29.1: 8y 1 m. y = years; m = months. E Facial analysis using Face2Gene Research application (FDNA Inc. Boston, MA) of individuals with KCNK9 imprinting syndrome (frontal photos of P3.1, P6.1, P7.1, P8.1, P9.1, P12.1, P13.1, P16.1, P18.1, P19.1*, P20.1*, P21.1*, 23.1, P24.1 (3 m photo), 25.1*, 27.1, and 29.1 compared to age, sex, and ethnicity matched controls. The aggregated binary comparison (AUC = area under the curve, ROC = receiver operating characteristic) demonstrates a significant difference between the two cohorts (P < 0.05). *used published photos
