Genes affected
MORC1 (HGNC:7198): (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 1) This gene encodes the human homolog of mouse morc and like the mouse protein it is testis-specific. Mouse studies support a testis-specific function since only male knockout mice are infertile; infertility is the only apparent defect. These studies further support a role for this protein early in spermatogenesis, possibly by affecting entry into apoptosis because testis from knockout mice show greatly increased numbers of apoptotic cells.

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 20, 2023The c.2602C>A (p.Q868K) alteration is located in exon 26 (coding exon 26) of the MORC1 gene. This alteration results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 2602, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 868 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
