Genes affected
ATF6 (HGNC:791): (activating transcription factor 6) This gene encodes a transcription factor that activates target genes for the unfolded protein response (UPR) during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Although it is a transcription factor, this protein is unusual in that it is synthesized as a transmembrane protein that is embedded in the ER. It functions as an ER stress sensor/transducer, and following ER stress-induced proteolysis, it functions as a nuclear transcription factor via a cis-acting ER stress response element (ERSE) that is present in the promoters of genes encoding ER chaperones. This protein has been identified as a survival factor for quiescent but not proliferative squamous carcinoma cells. There have been conflicting reports about the association of polymorphisms in this gene with diabetes in different populations, but another polymorphism has been associated with increased plasma cholesterol levels. This gene is also thought to be a potential therapeutic target for cystic fibrosis. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 24, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ATF6 function (PMID: 26029869, 28028229). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ATF6 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208172). This missense change has been observed in individuals with achromatopsia (PMID: 26029869). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs761357250, gnomAD 0.004%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 324 of the ATF6 protein (p.Arg324Cys). -
ATF6-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJun 20, 2023The ATF6 c.970C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg324Cys. This variant has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with achromatopsia, with in vitro experimental studies suggesting this variant affects protein function (Kohl et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26029869; Chiang et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 28028229; Lee et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32271167; Kroeger et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34561305). This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-161789483-C-T). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
