Mutated neuron navigator 3 as a candidate gene for a rare neurodevelopmental disorder.
Background: Neuron navigator 3 (NAV3) is characterized as one of the neuron navigator family (NAV1, NAV2, NAV3) proteins predominantly expressed in the nervous system. The NAV3-encoded protein comprises a conserved AAA and coiled-coil domains characteristic of ATPases, which are associated with different cellular activities.
Methods: We describe a Saudi proband presenting a complex recessive neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD). Whole exome sequencing (WES) followed by Sanger sequencing, 3D protein modeling and RT-qPCR was performed.
Results: WES revealed a bi-allelic frameshift variant (c.2604_2605delAG; p.Val870SerfsTer12) in exon 12 of the NAV3 gene. Furthermore, RT-qPCR revealed a significant decrease in the NAV3 mRNA expression in the patient sample, and 3D protein modeling revealed disruption of the overall secondary structure.
Conclusion: For the time, we associate a bi-allelic variant in the NAV3 gene causing NDD in humans.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of quality research related to the dynamically developing areas of human, molecular and medical genetics. The journal publishes original research articles covering findings in phenotypic, molecular, biological, and genomic aspects of genomic variation, inherited disorders and birth defects. The broad publishing spectrum of Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine includes rare and common disorders from diagnosis to treatment. Examples of appropriate articles include reports of novel disease genes, functional studies of genetic variants, in-depth genotype-phenotype studies, genomic analysis of inherited disorders, molecular diagnostic methods, medical bioinformatics, ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI), and approaches to clinical diagnosis. Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine provides a scientific home for next generation sequencing studies of rare and common disorders, which will make research in this fascinating area easily and rapidly accessible to the scientific community. This will serve as the basis for translating next generation sequencing studies into individualized diagnostics and therapeutics, for day-to-day medical care.
Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine publishes original research articles, reviews, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented.
