Microcephaly v1.330 MED29 Zornitza Stark Marked gene: MED29 as ready
Microcephaly v1.330 MED29 Zornitza Stark Gene: med29 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Microcephaly v1.330 MED29 Zornitza Stark Classified gene: MED29 as Amber List (moderate evidence)
Microcephaly v1.330 MED29 Zornitza Stark Gene: med29 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Microcephaly v1.323 MED29 Sarah Milton gene: MED29 was added
gene: MED29 was added to Microcephaly. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: MED29 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: MED29 were set to PMID: 40745490
Phenotypes for gene: MED29 were set to Pontocerebellar hypoplasia, MONDO:0020135, MED29-related
Review for gene: MED29 was set to AMBER
Added comment: MED29 encodes part of the mediator (MED) complex which has role in RNA polymerase II (Poll II) gene transcription.

PMID: 40745490 describes 2 siblings from one consanguineous family affected with pontocerebellar hypoplasia, profound GDD, severe microcephaly, cataracts and variable seizures.
Both shared the same homozygous missense variant with presumed LOF mechanism.

No homozygous LOF variants in gnomAD v4.

Extensive functional studies performed with morpholino knockdown of MED29 having marked reduction of GABAergic neurons and abnormal touch response.
Studies of hippocampal neurons from mice with knockdown MED29 showed impaired development.
Mouse embryos that had knockdown of MED29 during development demonstrated abnormal neuronal migration.
