Genes affected
MORC3 (HGNC:23572): (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 3) This gene encodes a protein that localizes to the nuclear matrix and forms nuclear bodies via an ATP-dependent mechanism. The protein is predicted to have coiled-coil and zinc finger domains and has RNA binding activity. Alternative splicing produces multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Submissions by phenotype

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 28, 2024The c.1616A>G (p.N539S) alteration is located in exon 14 (coding exon 14) of the MORC3 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1616, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 539 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
