Genes affected

SYNJ1 (HGNC:11503): (synaptojanin 1) This gene encodes a phosphoinositide phosphatase that regulates levels of membrane phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate. As such, expression of this enzyme may affect synaptic transmission and membrane trafficking. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Collection Method: clinical testing

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SYNJ1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 9 of the SYNJ1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the SYNJ1 protein. -
