Ciliary Dyskinesia
Gene: SCNN1G
Context: The Epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is a heterotrimer composed of 3 subunits coded by the SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1G, and SCNN1D genes.
Bush, A and Floto, R. (2019): The classical single gene disorder is α-1 antitrypsin deficiency (MIM#613490), which also causes liver disease. ENaC mutations, especially in-trans with a CFTR mutation, are thought to be risk factors for bronchiectasis, rather than actually causative. However, bronchiectasis is likely to be a very complex disease, of heterogeneous etiology, and genetic studies are likely to approach the complexity of those of asthma, rather than the classic single gene disorders such as CF.
Fajac, I. et al. (2008): Identified 3 idiopathic bronchiectasis affected individuals without CFTR variants. They found 2 variants - one of which is reported ten times as B/LB in ClinVar, and the other is reported nine times as B/LB in ClinVar.
Guan, W. et al. (2018): NGS screening study. 192 bronchiectasis patients and 100 healthy subjects. 32 genes thought to be clinically relevant were screened. No SCNN1G variants were detected in healthy or affected groups. 6 affected individuals had variants in SCNN1A and SCNN1B.Created: 20 Aug 2024, 6:35 a.m. | Last Modified: 20 Aug 2024, 6:35 a.m.
