Genes affected

TOP3A (HGNC:11992): (DNA topoisomerase III alpha) This gene encodes a DNA topoisomerase, an enzyme that controls and alters the topologic states of DNA during transcription. This enzyme catalyzes the transient breaking and rejoining of a single strand of DNA which allows the strands to pass through one another, thus reducing the number of supercoils and altering the topology of DNA. This enzyme forms a complex with BLM which functions in the regulation of recombination in somatic cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

TOP3A Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• microcephaly, growth restriction, and increased sister chromatid exchange 2

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG Submitted by: Ambry Genetics, PanelApp Australia, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), G2P
