Genes affected

WDR73 (HGNC:25928): (WD repeat domain 73) The protein encoded by this gene is thought to contain multiple WD40 repeats. WD40 repeats are motifs that contain 40-60 amino acids, and usually end with Trp-Asp (WD). This protein is found in the cytoplasm during interphase, but accumulates at the spindle poles and astral microtubules during mitosis. Reduced expression of this gene results in abnormalities in the size and morphology of the nucleus. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Galloway-Mowat syndrome PMID: 25466283), which is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that affects both the central nervous system and kidneys. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

The L23Q variant in the WDR73 gene has been reported previously in the homozygous state in an individual with a clinical diagnosis of Galloway-Mowat syndrome (Vodopiutz et al., 2015). The L23Q variant was not observed in approximately 6200 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The L23Q variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. The L23Q variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant, however the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. -
