Genes affected

UCP3 (HGNC:12519): (uncoupling protein 3) Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCP) are members of the larger family of mitochondrial anion carrier proteins (MACP). UCPs separate oxidative phosphorylation from ATP synthesis with energy dissipated as heat, also referred to as the mitochondrial proton leak. UCPs facilitate the transfer of anions from the inner to the outer mitochondrial membrane and the return transfer of protons from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane. They also reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential in mammalian cells. The different UCPs have tissue-specific expression; this gene is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle. This gene's protein product is postulated to protect mitochondria against lipid-induced oxidative stress. Expression levels of this gene increase when fatty acid supplies to mitochondria exceed their oxidation capacity and the protein enables the export of fatty acids from mitochondria. UCPs contain the three solcar protein domains typically found in MACPs. Two splice variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

The UCP3 c.921dupA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Arg308Thrfs*22). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.046% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Loss of function is not an established mechanism of UCP3-associated disease. Furthermore, this variant resides in the final exon of this gene and it is unclear if the resulting mRNA would undergo nonsense mediated decay. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
