Arthrogryposis v0.392 KIF5C Zornitza Stark Marked gene: KIF5C as ready
Arthrogryposis v0.392 KIF5C Zornitza Stark Gene: kif5c has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Arthrogryposis v0.381 KIF5C Chirag Patel Classified gene: KIF5C as Green List (high evidence)
Arthrogryposis v0.381 KIF5C Chirag Patel Gene: kif5c has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Arthrogryposis v0.380 KIF5C Chirag Patel gene: KIF5C was added
gene: KIF5C was added to Arthrogryposis. Sources: Expert list
Mode of inheritance for gene: KIF5C was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Phenotypes for gene: KIF5C were set to Cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 2, OMIM #615282
Review for gene: KIF5C was set to GREEN
Added comment: 2 families with 5 affecteds with severe malformations of cortical development. One family with 4 siblings with severe arthrogryposis. Same heterozygous missense variant found in both families (E237V) in KIF5C gene.

Family 1: unaffected mother was determined to be germline mosaic for the mutation. In vitro functional expression studies in E. coli and COS-7 cells showed that the mutant protein had a complete loss of ATP hydrolysis activity. In COS-7 cells, mutant KIF5C heavily colocalized with microtubules throughout the cell, but did not appear as puncta or accumulate in cortical clusters as did the wildtype protein. Poirier et al. (2013) postulated a dominant-negative effect. The findings extended the association between microtubule-based cellular processes and proper cortical development.
