Pathogenic TRIO Variants Found in Individuals with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (A) Schematic representation of TRIO domains with annotated missense and nonsense mutations identified in affected individuals. Patient groups 1 and 2 are highlighted in green and orange, respectively. Missense mutation p.Pro1461Leu is in blue so that it is differentiated from the other GEFD1 mutants (see text for details). Nonsense variants are written in black. The numbers in brackets correspond to the OFC of each affected individual (+/−SD). (B) Clinical photographs of individuals carrying an alteration in the seventh spectrin repeat domain of TRIO (group 1). Individuals 2 and 3 have the p.Arg1078Trp variant, individuals 7 and 8 have the p.Arg1078Gln variant, and individual 9 has the p.Asn1080Ile variant.17 (C) Clinical photographs of individuals carrying an alteration in the GEFD1 of TRIO (group 2 and the p.Pro1461Leu variant). Individuals 10–16 harbor the following variants: (10) p.Glu1299Lys, (11 and 12) p.Arg1428Gln, (13) p.Pro1461Thr,17 (14) p.His1469Arg, (15 and 16) p.Pro1461Leu.

	Figure 2. Individuals Harboring Variants in Either GEFD1 or Spectrin Domains Show Distinct Neurodevelopmental Phenotypes (A) Percentage of affected individuals with different levels of learning difficulties in either spectrin domain (group 1) or GEFD1 (group 2) mutation cases. 75% of group 2 individuals have mild-moderate learning difficulties. 78% of group 1 individuals have severe learning difficulties. (B) Early developmental milestones (sitting unsupported, walking, and first words) are delayed in both group 1 and group 2 individuals, but group 1 individuals are affected more severely. For statistical analysis, refer to Table S3. Walking: ∗p = 0.035. (C) Height and weight standard deviations from mean in either group 1 or group 2 individuals. The median height for group 1 individuals with spectrin mutations was −1.69 SD, and for group 2 individuals with GEFD1 mutations it was −1.34 SD. 33% of the individuals in group 1 and 14% of individuals in group 2 had a height SD of greater than −2 SD, which is often considered as short stature. Weight SD was also reduced in both groups. (D) Microcephaly was seen in 100% of group 2 individuals, who had a mean OFC of −3.82 SD (median OFC of −3.8 SD). Individuals within group 1 present with macrocephaly. 78% had an OFC greater than 2 SD from the mean; mean OFC was +2.6 SD, median OFC was + 2.7 SD, and OFC range was between +0.7 SD and +4.7 SD. ∗∗p < 0.001 (Table S3) (E) A neurobehavioral phenotype was observed in 19 out of the 24 (79%) individuals described in this study. (F) Recurrent behavioral features include stereotypies (6/24 patients), poor attention (14/24 individuals), obsessive-compulsive traits (9/24 individuals), and aggression (8/24 individuals). In total, 2/24 were identified as social or friendly. (G and H) Quantitative facial phenotyping. t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) plot of the vectors of individuals with alterations in GEFD1 and the seventh spectrin domain and the matched controls with intellectual disability.

Mapping of the Mutation Sites on the 3D Structure of the TRIO Spectrin 7 Repeat Domain and GEFD1 (A) Species conservation of the residues in TRIO’s seventh spectrin repeat, which is mutated in neurodevelopmental diseases. Identical residues are labeled in red, and similar residues are in blue. The positions of the residues p.Thr1075, p.Arg1078, and p.Asn1080 are boxed in black and indicated on top of the sequence, which encompasses amino acids 1053 to 1091, corresponding to the second α helix of the spectrin repeat. Represented species are Homo sapiens (h), Mus musculus (m), Rattus norvegicus (r), Xenopus laevis (x), Danio rerio (z), Drosophila melanogaster (d), and Caenorhabditis elegans (ce). (B) Lateral view of the structural model of the seventh spectrin repeat of TRIO. The spectrin domain was modeled based on the crystal structures of human beta2-spectrin (PDB ID 3EDV30) with our sequence alignment and SWISS-MODEL server.32 Parts of the structure that were modeled with high and low confidence are in blue and cyan, respectively. Mutations within the spectrin domain seen in affected individuals are indicated in red. (C) Axial view of the cross section of the structure at the site of the mutations. Mutations are indicated in magenta. (D) Sequence alignment of the RAC1-specific DH1 domain of TRIO (and KALIRIN) across evolution. Identical residues are labeled in red and similar residues are labeled in blue. The α helices are depicted schematically on top of the sequence alignment. The positions of the alterations p.Glu1299Lys, p.Arg1428Gln, p.Pro1461Leu, p.Pro1461Thr, and p.His1469Arg are indicated in bold and boxed in red. Each mutation affects a highly conserved residue within helices α-1, α-5, and α-6, which make contact with the target GTPase RAC1.

	Figure 5. Truncation in the TRIO GEFD1 Reduces Head Size in X. tropicalis (A) X. tropicalis eggs from a single female for each of two biological replicates (with parents from different genetic backgrounds) were fertilized with frozen sperm and injected at the one-cell stage with CRISPR-Cas targeting the genome as shown. Representative micrographs for each condition are shown (black and white photos) (all tadpoles are shown in Figure S3). Performing the GEFD1 and GEFD2 frameshift in a tubb2B.GFP X. tropicalis showed that forebrain deformities had occurred in 6/8 GEFD1 truncation tadpoles, which was not the case for GEFD2 frameshift. Representative micrographs for each condition are shown (color photos) (all tadpoles are shown in Figure S4). (B) Comparing the head diameter of the tadpoles carrying truncations in the GEFD1 (hs: Gln 1489∗ = xt Gln 1450) and GEFD2 (hs: Leu 2031∗ = xt Leu 1994) domains showed that GEFD1 truncations caused microcephaly, whereas GEFD2 truncations had no effect. Quantification is shown for eight individuals measured (all tadpoles are shown in Figure S3).
