Associated with Joint laxity, short stature, and myopia #617662 (AR) in OMIM.
As reported by Zornitza Stark, PMID: 33009817 (Zeng et al 2020) reported two Chinese sisters who presented with severe myopia, scoliosis and hearing loss. Using WES they identified two compound heterozygous variants in GZF1 (c.397400del, p. Leu133fs; c.1474del, p. Met492fs). The parents were heterozygous carriers of the variants. Functional data showed decreased levels of HA‐tagged M492fs‐GZF1 protein and no HA-tagged L133fs‐GZF1 protein or the control vector. HA‐tagged M492fs‐GZF1 protein was also localized to the cytoplasm rather than the nuclei in which wild type protein was found.
This now brings the case number to 3.Created: 20 Jan 2021, 11:21 p.m. | Last Modified: 20 Jan 2021, 11:21 p.m.

Associated with Joint laxity, short stature, and myopia (#617662) in OMIM and with LARSEN SYNDROME (probable) in Gene2Phenotype. Generalized joint laxity is listed as a phenotype for Larsen syndrome in Gene2Phenotype.
PMID: 28475863 - Patel et al 2017 - 2 cases. Family 1 - a multiplex consanguineous Saudi family affected by severe and recurrent large joint dislocation and severe myopia. The index patient also had severe kyphoscoliosis. Both the index patient and her brother had short stature. A homozygous truncating variant in GZF1 was identified (c.865G>T (pGlu289∗). Family 2 - another multiplex consanguineous family affected by severe myopia, retinal detachment, and milder skeletal involvement (generalized joint laxity) A second homozygous truncating GZF1 variant was identified (c.1054dup (p.Thr352Asnfs∗50). Neither variant was present in 2,379 Saudi exomes or the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) Browser. In functional studies they found using immunofluorescence, strong localization of GZF1 in the developing mouse eye and, to a lesser extent, in the mesenchyme of the developing mouse limb buds. Using 3 patient-derived lymphoblastoid cell lines they found 1,095 genes to be dysregulated in affected individuals.Created: 16 Jul 2019, 10:02 a.m. | Last Modified: 16 Jul 2019, 10:02 a.m.

Not associated with phenotype in OMIM, but is a probable association in G2P. At least 2 variants reported in two multiplex consanguineous Saudi family affected by severe and recurrent large joint dislocation and severe myopia. Functional studies revealed that GZF1 is expressed in the affected tissues and that truncating variants are associated with a global transcriptional dysregulation that might hint at the disease pathogenesis (PMID 28475863)Created: 4 Sep 2017, 9:43 a.m.
