SPRY4

protein-coding

sprouty RTK signaling antagonist 4

Gene summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of cysteine- and proline-rich proteins. The encoded protein is an inhibitor of the receptor-transduced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Activity of this protein impairs the formation of active GTP-RAS. Nucleotide variation in this gene has been associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 17 with or without anosmia. Alternative splicing results in a multiple transcript variants.

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 17, with or without anosmiaAD/Digenic

Manifestation: Audiologic/Otolaryngologic; Dental; Endocrine; Musculoskeletal; Neurologic

Intervention: Endocrine

Rationale: In Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, surveillance in adolescence related to sexual maturation is indicated, as is monitoring of bone mineral density in order to allow early detection and treatment of disease; In order to induce and maintain secondary sex characteristics, gradually increasing doses of gonadal steroids (females: estrogen/progestin; males: testosterone/hCG) can be beneficial; Related to fertility, endocrinologic therapy (females: recombinant hCG or pulsatile GnRH therapy; males: hCG/HMG/recombinant FSH or pulsatile GnRH therapy) may be effective, though IVF may be required

Comments: Relatively complex genetic models of disease have been described (eg, involving variants in other FGF8-network-associated genes)

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_001127496.3. 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: Suppresses the insulin receptor and EGFR-transduced MAPK signaling pathway, but does not inhibit MAPK activation by a constitutively active mutant Ras. Probably impairs the formation of GTP-Ras. Inhibits Ras-independent, but not Ras-dependent, activation of RAF1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12717443}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 17 with or without anosmia (HH17) [MIM:615266]: A disorder characterized by absent or incomplete sexual maturation by the age of 18 years, in conjunction with low levels of circulating gonadotropins and testosterone and no other abnormalities of the hypothalamic- pituitary axis. In some cases, it is associated with non- reproductive phenotypes, such as anosmia, cleft palate, and sensorineural hearing loss. Anosmia or hyposmia is related to the absence or hypoplasia of the olfactory bulbs and tracts. Hypogonadism is due to deficiency in gonadotropin-releasing hormone and probably results from a failure of embryonic migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone-synthesizing neurons. In the presence of anosmia, idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is referred to as Kallmann syndrome, whereas in the presence of a normal sense of smell, it has been termed normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nIHH). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23643382}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting distinct genetic loci, including the gene represented in this entry. Some patients carrying mutations in SPRY4 also have a heterozygous mutation in another HH-associated gene including DUSP6 and FGFR1 (PubMed:23643382). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23643382}.;
