SMARCC1

Gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SWI/SNF family of proteins, whose members display helicase and ATPase activities and which are thought to regulate transcription of certain genes by altering the chromatin structure around those genes. The encoded protein is part of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SNF/SWI and contains a predicted leucine zipper motif typical of many transcription factors.

SMARCC1 was first reported in relation to autosomal dominant SMARCC1-associated developmental dysgenesis syndrome in 2018 (Al Mutairi et al., PMID: 29360170). SMARCC1-associated developmental dysgenesis syndrome is characterized by developmental delay, cerebral ventriculomegaly, aqueductal stenosis, and other associated structural brain and cardiac defects. Nine variants (missense, canonical splice site, nonsense, and frameshift) that have been reported in nine probands in four publications (PMIDs: 29360170, 29983323, 33077954, 34906496) are included in this curation. Variants are inherited primarily de novo. More evidence is available in the literature, but the maximum score for genetic evidence (12 pts.) has been reached. The mechanism of pathogenicity is reported to be loss of function. This gene-disease relationship is also supported by expression in the neuroepithelium and ventricular zone during neurogenesis (PMID: 29983323), biochemical function important for the BAF chromatin remodeling complex during human brain morphogenesis (PMID: 36993720), and two homozygous mouse models with brain abnormalities (PMIDs: 11604513, 24170322). In summary, there is definitive evidence supporting the relationship between SMARCC1 and autosomal dominant SMARCC1-associated developmental dysgenesis syndrome. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both the research and clinical diagnostic settings, and has been upheld over time. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Brain Malformations GCEP on the meeting date April 11, 2023 (SOP Version 9).

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_003074.4. 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.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Involved in transcriptional activation and repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology). Component of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes that carry out key enzymatic activities, changing chromatin structure by altering DNA-histone contacts within a nucleosome in an ATP-dependent manner. May stimulate the ATPase activity of the catalytic subunit of the complex (PubMed:10078207, PubMed:29374058). Belongs to the neural progenitors-specific chromatin remodeling complex (npBAF complex) and the neuron- specific chromatin remodeling complex (nBAF complex). During neural development a switch from a stem/progenitor to a postmitotic chromatin remodeling mechanism occurs as neurons exit the cell cycle and become committed to their adult state. The transition from proliferating neural stem/progenitor cells to postmitotic neurons requires a switch in subunit composition of the npBAF and nBAF complexes. As neural progenitors exit mitosis and differentiate into neurons, npBAF complexes which contain ACTL6A/BAF53A and PHF10/BAF45A, are exchanged for homologous alternative ACTL6B/BAF53B and DPF1/BAF45B or DPF3/BAF45C subunits in neuron-specific complexes (nBAF). The npBAF complex is essential for the self-renewal/proliferative capacity of the multipotent neural stem cells. The nBAF complex along with CREST plays a role regulating the activity of genes essential for dendrite growth (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P97496, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10078207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11018012, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29374058, ECO:0000303|PubMed:22952240, ECO:0000303|PubMed:26601204}.;
