Comment on list classification: There are two unrelated families and functional evidence including mouse model in support of the disease association. Hence, this gene can be promoted to green rating in the next GMS update.Created: 9 Jun 2026, 7:18 p.m. | Last Modified: 9 Jun 2026, 7:18 p.m.

PMID:38637313 (2024) reported three individuals from two unrelated families presenting with childhood-onset myopathy with hyperCKaemia. They were identified with either compound heterozygous or homozygous loss-of-function variants in PACSIN3 gene via exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing (Family 1: c.270_277del, p.Leu91AlafsTer15 and c.609_610del, p(Lys203AsnfsTer4; Family 2: c.592G>T, p.Glu198Ter), which segregated with the disorder in the two families. Ultrastructural studies in muscle tissue derived from Individual 1 showed accumulation of membranous tubules, some of which were arranged in tubular aggregates.
PMID:29202928 (2017) reported evidence from Syndapin III knockout mice, which are viable, fertile, and developed without obvious impairments under normal conditions. But, their muscle cells showed a severe reduction in caveolar invaginations without loss of caveolin3 or cavin1 from the plasma membrane . Upon physical exercise, the knockout skeletal muscles exhibited pathological features including widened fibre calibre, detached nuclei, inflammation, and necrosis - phenocopying human myopathies associated with CAV3 mutations.
This gene has been associated with relevant phenotypes in both OMIM (MIM # 621343, last accessed 09 June 2026) and Gene2Phenotype (with 'moderate' rating on the DD panel).Created: 9 Jun 2026, 7:14 p.m. | Last Modified: 9 Jun 2026, 7:16 p.m.
