Congenital Heart Defect v0.348 NUP188 Zornitza Stark Marked gene: NUP188 as ready
Congenital Heart Defect v0.348 NUP188 Zornitza Stark Gene: nup188 has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Congenital Heart Defect v0.348 NUP188 Zornitza Stark Classified gene: NUP188 as Green List (high evidence)
Congenital Heart Defect v0.348 NUP188 Zornitza Stark Gene: nup188 has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Congenital Heart Defect v0.315 NUP188 GORJANA ROBEVSKA gene: NUP188 was added
gene: NUP188 was added to Congenital Heart Defect. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: NUP188 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: NUP188 were set to PMID: 32021605; 32275884
Phenotypes for gene: NUP188 were set to Sandestig-Stefanova syndrome MIM 618804
Review for gene: NUP188 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Sandestig et al 2020/19:
two unrelated female infants from consanguineous families, each with homozygous nonsense gene variants of NUP188 (p.Tyr96* and p.Gln113*, respectively). Both patients showed close similarity and specificity of clinical features including the course of the disease and a poor prognosis.

Muir et al 2020:
Four unrelated families with six affected female infants with bi-allelic truncating variants in NUP188. all found to have very similar phenotypes
Functional studies showed:
1. Nuclear import of proteins was decreased in affected individuals’ fibroblasts, supporting a possible disease mechanism.
2. CRISPR-mediated knockout of NUP188 in Drosophila revealed motor deficits and seizure susceptibility, partially recapitulating the neurological phenotype seen in affected individuals.
3. Removal of NUP188 also resulted in aberrant dendrite tiling, suggesting a potential role of NUP188 in dendritic development

Key clinical features of Sandestig-Stefanova syndrome MIM 618804:
- congenital cataracts
- hypotonia,
- prenatal-onset ventriculomegaly,
- white-matter abnormalities,
- hypoplastic corpus callosum,
- congenital heart defects, and
- central hypoventilation. 
Characteristic dysmorphic features include:
- small palpebral fissures,
- a wide nasal bridge and nose,
- micrognathia, and
- digital anomalies.
