MAB21L1

protein-coding

mab-21 like 1, the group of MAB21 family

Gene summary

This gene is similar to the MAB-21 cell fate-determining gene found in C. elegans. It may be involved in eye and cerebellum development, and it has been proposed that expansion of a trinucleotide repeat region in the 5' UTR may play a role in a variety of psychiatric disorders.

The *MAB21L1* gene, located on chromosome 13 at 13q13.3, encodes the mab-21 like 1 protein which is a putative nucleotidyltransferase required for several aspects of embryonic development including normal development of the eye. *MAB21L1* was first reported in relation to autosomal recessive cerebellar, ocular, craniofacial, and genital syndrome (COFG) in 2017 (Bruel et al., PMID: 27103078). COFG is characterized by cerebellar hypoplasia with ataxia, ocular anomalies, facial dysmorphism, scrotal agenesis, absent or underdeveloped nipples and underdeveloped labioscrotal folds, accompanied by moderate to severe developmental delay and intellectual disability. The mechanism of disease is reported to be loss of function. At least six unique variants (missense, nonsense, frameshift) that have been reported in a homozygous statein 11 individuals from six consanguineous families in two publications (PMIDs: 27103078, 30487245) are included in this curation. Variants in this gene segregated in seven additional family members in two families (PMID: 30487245, 27075597). This gene-disease relationship is also supported by evidence of persistent and restricted expression of *Mab21l1* to the cerebellum and eye in mouse, and a mouse model which displayed eye and preputial gland anomalies (PMIDs: 10349626, 25434003). In summary, there is strong evidence to support the relationship between *MAB21L* and autosomal recessive cerebellar, ocular, craniofacial, and genital syndrome. Three years must elapse from the first proposal of the assertion to reach a definitive classification without any valid contradictory evidence. We will re-evaluate this gene-disease relationship at that time to determine if an upgraded classification of definitive is warranted. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Syndromic GCEP on the meeting date April 19th, 2024 (SOP Version 10).

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_005584.5. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
