radixin, the group of FERM domain containing

Gene summary

Radixin is a cytoskeletal protein that may be important in linking actin to the plasma membrane. It is highly similar in sequence to both ezrin and moesin. The radixin gene has been localized by fluorescence in situ hybridization to 11q23. A truncated version representing a pseudogene (RDXP2) was assigned to Xp21.3. Another pseudogene that seemed to lack introns (RDXP1) was mapped to 11p by Southern and PCR analyses. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

The RDX​ gene has been associated with autosomal recessive nonsndromic hearing loss using the ClinGen Clinical Validity Framework as of 7/14/2017​. This association was made using case-level data only. At least 7 missense, frameshift, nonsense, and splice-site variants have been reported in humans. RDX​ was first associated with this disease in humans as early as 2007​ (Khan et al.​). Association is seen in at least 6​ probands in 4​ publications (17226784, 19215054, 22567349, 26226137), as well as one unpublished case at the Laboratory for Molecular Medicine. Variants in this gene segregated with disease in 11​ additional family members. This gene-disease association is supported by a null mouse model and relevant expression and protein interaction studies. In summary, RDX​ is definitively associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Hearing Loss Working Group on 1/2/2018.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_002906.4. 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.

Disease
DISEASE: Deafness, autosomal recessive, 24 (DFNB24) [MIM:611022]: A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17226784}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
