Neurological ciliopathies v0.6 FAM149B1 Eleanor Williams gene: FAM149B1 was added
gene: FAM149B1 was added to Neurological ciliopathies. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: FAM149B1 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: FAM149B1 were set to 30905400
Phenotypes for gene: FAM149B1 were set to Joubert syndrome; oral-facial-digital syndrome; OFD VI
Review for gene: FAM149B1 was set to AMBER
Added comment: PMID: 30905400 - Shaheen et al 2019 - report 4 cases in which homozygous variants in the FAM149B1 gene are found in patients with a ciliopathy phenotype that most closely matches Joubert syndrome or Joubert syndrome/oral-facial-digital syndrome (OFD VI) . 3 of the cases in Consanguinity families of Arab origin have the same c.356_357del (p.Lys119Ilefs∗18) variant and haplotype analysis suggests a founder mutation. The fourth case in a Turkish family with Joubert syndrome was found to have a different homozygous truncating variant in the same gene (c.439C>T [p.Gln147∗])). Both variants are predicted to result in truncated proteins.
Functional studies - FAM149B1 encodes a protein of unknown function and mutant fibroblasts were found to have normal ciliogenesis potential. But some cilia-related abnormalities were observed in these cells: abnormal accumulation IFT complex at the distal tips of the cilia, which assumed bulbous appearance, increased length of the primary cilium, and dysregulated SHH signaling.
