COVID-19 research v1.37 NUP214 Sarah Leigh changed review comment from: NUP214 was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 1 grouping (clear GDA/viral susceptibility); to: NUP214 was identified through an OMIM search for potential viral susceptibility genes. Initial triage by Illumina (Alison Coffey and team) was given a Tier 1 grouping (clear GDA/viral susceptibility). Illumina review: PMID 31178128: Fichtman et al. (2019) reported four patients from two unrelated families with fever-induced, partially reversible acute encephalopathy and regression, progressive microcephaly, and brain atrophy. Febrile episodes were associated with viral infections. Exome sequencing identified that both affected individuals from family A were homozygous for the NUP214 NM_005085.3; c.112C>T (p.Arg38Cys) missense variant. A frameshift variant, c.1574delC (p.Pro525LeufsTer6) and a missense variant c.1159C>T (p.Pro387Ser), found in a compound heterozygous state were identified in the NUP214 gene in the two affected individuals from family B. The missense variants affected highly conserved residues and were present at a low frequency in gnomAD. Functional studies on primary skin fibroblasts derived from one case (family A1) supported pathogenicity of the p.Arg38Cys variant; NUP214 and NUP88 protein levels were reduced in while the total number and density of nuclear pore complexes remained normal. Nuclear transport assays revealed defects in the classical protein import and mRNA export pathways in affected cells.
COVID-19 research v0.332 NUP88 Sarah Leigh edited their review of gene: NUP88: Added comment: Using Collaborative Cross mouse genetic reference population, PMID 32348764 studied the genetic regulation of variation in antibody response to influenza A virus (IAV) infection. This enabled the identification of 23 quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with variation in specific antibody isotypes across time points; this allowed a subset to be found that broadly affect the antibody response to IAV as well as other viruses. This gene is the equivalent human for the mouse gene that was classified as a candidate from one of the QTLs, based on the predicted variant consequences and haplotype-specific expression patterns (PMID 32348764 table 2).; Changed mode of inheritance: Unknown
