Genes affected
GFER (HGNC:4236): (growth factor, augmenter of liver regeneration) The hepatotrophic factor designated augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) is thought to be one of the factors responsible for the extraordinary regenerative capacity of mammalian liver. It has also been called hepatic regenerative stimulation substance (HSS). The gene resides on chromosome 16 in the interval containing the locus for polycystic kidney disease (PKD1). The putative gene product is 42% similar to the scERV1 protein of yeast. The yeast scERV1 gene had been found to be essential for oxidative phosphorylation, the maintenance of mitochondrial genomes, and the cell division cycle. The human gene is both the structural and functional homolog of the yeast scERV1 gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Congenital cataract-progressive muscular hypotonia-hearing loss-developmental delay syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 16, 2023Variant summary: GFER c.566C>G (p.Ser189X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein, which is a known mechanism for disease. While this variant is not expected to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is predicted to disrupt the last 17 amino acids of the protein. Variants downstream of this position, such as p.Arg194His, have been reported in association with disease (HGMD database; PMIDs: 19409522, 28155230) and classified as pathogenic in ClinVar. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 250730 control chromosomes (i.e., 7 heterozygotes, no homozygotes; gnomAD v2 Exomes dataset). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.566C>G in individuals affected with Congenital Cataract-Progressive Muscular Hypotonia-Hearing Loss-Developmental Delay Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One submitter has reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
