Mendeliome v0.290 MEPCE Zornitza Stark Marked gene: MEPCE as ready
Mendeliome v0.290 MEPCE Zornitza Stark Gene: mepce has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
Mendeliome v0.290 MEPCE Zornitza Stark gene: MEPCE was added
gene: MEPCE was added to Mendeliome_VCGS. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: MEPCE was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: MEPCE were set to 31467394
Phenotypes for gene: MEPCE were set to Intellectual disability; seizures
Review for gene: MEPCE was set to RED
Added comment: 1 patient with global DD and seizures with de novo MEPCE nonsense variant. mRNA and protein analyses identified nonsense-mediated mRNA decay to underlie the decreased amount of MEPCE in patient fibroblasts followed by LARP7 and 7SK snRNA downregulation and HEXIM1 upregulation. Flavopiridol treatment and ectopic MEPCE protein expression in patient fibroblasts rescued increased expression of six RNAP II-sensitive genes and suggested a possible repressive effect of MEPCE on P-TEFb-dependent transcription of specific genes.
