  • Description: Schinzel Giedion Syndrome (SGS) is an ultra-rare autosomal dominant Mendelian disease presenting with abnormalities spanning multiple organ systems. The most notable phenotypes involve severe developmental delay, progressive brain atrophy, and drug-resistant seizures. SGS is caused by spontaneous variants in SETBP1, which encodes for the epigenetic hub SETBP1 transcription factor (TF). SETBP1 variants causing classical SGS cluster at the degron, disrupting SETBP1 protein degradation and resulting in toxic accumulation, while those located outside cause milder atypical SGS. Due to the multisystem phenotype, we evaluated gene expression and regulatory programs altered in atypical SGS by snRNA-seq of the cerebral cortex and kidney of Setbp1 heterozygous mice (corresponds to the human likely pathogenic SETBP1 variant) compared to matched wild-type mice by constructing cell-type-specific regulatory networks. Setbp1 was differentially expressed in excitatory neurons, but known SETBP1 targets were differentially expressed and regulated in many cell types. Our findings suggest molecular drivers underlying neurodevelopmental phenotypes in classical SGS also drive atypical SGS, persist after birth, and are present in the kidney. Our results indicate SETBP1's role as an epigenetic hub leads to cell-type-specific differences in TF activity, gene targeting, and regulatory rewiring. This research provides a framework for investigating cell-type-specific variant impact on gene expression and regulation.
