Genes affected
UPF3B (HGNC:20439): (UPF3B regulator of nonsense mediated mRNA decay) This gene encodes a protein that is part of a post-splicing multiprotein complex involved in both mRNA nuclear export and mRNA surveillance. The encoded protein is one of two functional homologs to yeast Upf3p. mRNA surveillance detects exported mRNAs with truncated open reading frames and initiates nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). When translation ends upstream from the last exon-exon junction, this triggers NMD to degrade mRNAs containing premature stop codons. This protein binds to the mRNA and remains bound after nuclear export, acting as a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein. It forms with Y14 a complex that binds specifically 20 nt upstream of exon-exon junctions. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome X. Two splice variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 14 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 24, 2021In 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. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with UPF3B-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs752421745, ExAC 0.002%). This sequence change falls in intron 10 of the UPF3B gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the UPF3B protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. -
