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 GeneticsMay 17, 2023The c.1642C>T (p.R548C) alteration is located in exon 15 (coding exon 15) of the MORC3 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1642, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 548 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
