MAPK8IP3-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder
- Autosomal dominant
Caused by a change in one copy of the MAPK8IP3 gene (also called JIP3), which links motor proteins to cargo during transport along axons. Several reported changes arose de novo.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 6 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
▶Actionability
Developmental, educational and therapy support, with neurology, eye and behavioural assessment as needed. Several changes have arisen de novo, so genetic counselling and parental testing can guide recurrence risk.
How MAPK8IP3 is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Known disease-causing sites
- Stretches short reads find hard
Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 5.7 kb of the gene's 64.2 kb; 4,014 of those bases code for the protein.
Sequencing MAPK8IP3
16
positions in MAPK8IP3 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
None of them falls in a region short reads find hard.
A whole genome covers all 64.2 kb of MAPK8IP3, introns included, not only the 5.7 kb of exons.
ClinVar pathogenic variants (16)
The MAPK8IP3 variants ClinVar classifies pathogenic or likely pathogenic for any condition, reviewed by at least one submitter with criteria, and the most reviewed of them. It is ClinVar's public record of the gene, never a result.
- Pathogenic 3
- Pathogenic/likely pathogenic 2
- Likely pathogenic 11
