What's a GeneRIF?

Long-read nanopore sequencing resolves a TMEM231 gene conversion event causing Meckel-Gruber syndrome.
Title: Long-read nanopore sequencing resolves a TMEM231 gene conversion event causing Meckel-Gruber syndrome.
Results identified a rare gene conversion event in TMEM231, leading to loss of exon 4, which in combination with c.712G>A missense mutation caused Joubert syndrome and in combination with c.334T>G missense mutation caused Meckel-Gruber syndrome.
Title: TMEM231 Gene Conversion Associated with Joubert and Meckel-Gruber Syndromes in the Same Family.
Tmem231 is critical for organizing the Meckel syndrome complex and controlling ciliary composition, defects in which cause OFD3 and MKS.
Title: TMEM231, mutated in orofaciodigital and Meckel syndromes, organizes the ciliary transition zone.
TMEM231 represents a novel MKS locus. The very recent identification of TMEM231 mutations in Joubert syndrome supports the growing appreciation of the overlap in the molecular pathogenesis between these two ciliopathies.
Title: Mutations in TMEM231 cause Meckel-Gruber syndrome.
mutations in TMEM231 cause JBTS, reinforcing the relationship between this condition and the disruption of the barrier at the ciliary transition zone.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate splice junction in the 5' coding region which causes translation initiation at an alternate start codon compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) is shorter than isoform 1.

RNA

NR_074083.2 RNA Sequence

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (5) lacks an internal segment in the 5' region and uses an alternate splice site in an internal exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding due to the presence of an upstream ORF that is predicted to interfere with translation of the longest ORF; translation of the upstream ORF renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
