Genes affected
RAB23 (HGNC:14263): (RAB23, member RAS oncogene family) This gene encodes a small GTPase of the Ras superfamily. Rab proteins are involved in the regulation of diverse cellular functions associated with intracellular membrane trafficking, including autophagy and immune response to bacterial infection. The encoded protein may play a role in central nervous system development by antagonizing sonic hedgehog signaling. Disruption of this gene has been implicated in Carpenter syndrome as well as cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

RAB23-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesDec 31, 2023The RAB23 c.434T>A variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Leu145*). This variant has been reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with Carpenter syndrome (Jenkins et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17503333; Jenkins et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21412941; Salem et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23599695). This variant is reported in 0.057% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in RAB23 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Carpenter syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 31, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu145*) in the RAB23 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RAB23 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17503333, 21412941). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908171, gnomAD 0.06%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Carpenter syndrome (PMID: 17503333, 21412941, 24458945). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4591). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
