Limb disorders
Gene: MAPKAPK5
MAPKAPK5 is not yet associated with any phenotype in OMIM (last edited on 06/04/2016) but has a 'probable' disease confidence rating for 'MAPKAPK5-associated syndrome with synpolydactyly' in Gene2Phenotype.
- PMID: 33442026 (2021) - 3 individuals from 2 families with severe developmental delay, variable brain anomalies, congenital heart defects, dysmorphic facial features, and a distinctive type of synpolydactyly with an additional hypoplastic digit between the fourth and fifth digits of hands and/or feet. Exome sequencing identified different homozygous truncating variants in MAPKAPK5 in both families, segregating with disease and unaffected parents as carriers.
Patient-derived cells showed no expression of MAPKAPK5 protein isoforms and reduced levels of the MAPKAPK5-interacting protein ERK3. F-actin recovery after latrunculin B treatment was found to be less efficient in patient-derived fibroblasts than in control cells, supporting a role of MAPKAPK5 in F-actin polymerization.
Rating Amber, awaiting further cases.
