Convincing evidence disputing a role for this gene is this disease has arisen since the initial report identifying an association between the gene and disease. Alhathal et al., 2020 (PMID: 32719396) reported a LOF variant in a large male infertility cohort (n=285 infertile man and case–control fertile man).

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_001080394.4. 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: Plays a role in DNA double-strand break (DBS) repair via homologous recombination (HR). Serves as a scaffolding protein that helps to promote the recruitment of DNA-processing enzymes like the helicase BLM and recombinase RAD51 to site of DNA damage, and hence contributes to maintain genomic integrity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23509288, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23754376}.;
