Genes affected

CUL7 (HGNC:21024): (cullin 7) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. The encoded protein interacts with TP53, CUL9, and FBXW8 proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of 3M syndrome type 1 (3M1). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1445*) in the CUL7 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CUL7 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16142236, 17675530, 19225462). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918228, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with 3-M syndrome (PMID: 16142236). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1613). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
