| Mendeliome v0.9328 | UNC13B |
Zornitza Stark gene: UNC13B was added gene: UNC13B was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Expert Review Mode of inheritance for gene: UNC13B was set to BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: UNC13B were set to 33876820 Phenotypes for gene: UNC13B were set to Epilepsy Review for gene: UNC13B was set to RED Added comment: No OMIM human disease association. Gene encodes a presynaptic protein Munc13-2 highly expressed in the brain (predominantly cerebral cortex). Variant interpretation data in human epilepsy cohort somewhat conflicting and restricted to a single study. Conflicting data esp regarding MOI, and evidence for pathogenicity of several of the variants is limited. Wang et al, Brain, 2021 - trio-based whole-exome sequencing identified UNC13B in 12 individuals affected by partial epilepsy and/or febrile seizures from 8 unrelated families. Identified: x1 de novo nonsense variant, absent in gnomad, damaging in silicos x1 de novo splice site, absent in gnomad, damaging in silicos x1 splice site variant present in unaffected mother (low frequency in gnomad) x2 compound het in one individual - more severe phenotype postulated (x1 variant present in contro cohortl, the other variant present in low frequency in gnomad) x1 missense variant - in Han Chinese major depressive disorders study, not in gnomad x1 missense variant - highly conserved residue, not in gnomad x2 other missense variant - highly conserved residue, low frequency in gnomad Latter 4 missense variants cosegregated with affected individuals in the families In Drosophila, seizure rate and duration were increased by Unc13b knockdown compared to wild-type flies, but these effects were less pronounced than in sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 1 (Scn1a) knockdown Drosophila De novo UNC13B variants previously reported in bipolar disorder and autism spectrum disorder Sources: Expert Review |
