Mendeliome v1.2462 | SIRT6 |
Achchuthan Shanmugasundram gene: SIRT6 was added gene: SIRT6 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature Mode of inheritance for gene: SIRT6 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal Publications for gene: SIRT6 were set to 29555651; 30135584 Review for gene: SIRT6 was set to GREEN Added comment: PMID:29555651 reported a family with four consecutive cases of late foetal loss with gestational ages between 17 and 35 weeks. The foetuses showed prenatal abnormalities including intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), microcephaly, craniofacial anomalies, sex reversal in male foetuses, and congenital heart defects. A homozygous inactivating variant in SIRT6 gene (c.187G > C; p.(Asp63His)) was identified by WES in the four foetuses. There is also functional data available from in vitro studies, SIRT6 D63H mouse embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from D63H homozygous foetuses. There is also functional evidence available from several other studies including PMID:30135584, where CRISPR-Cas9-based approach was used to generate a SIRT6-null cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) model. SIRT6-deficient monkeys died hours after birth and exhibited severe prenatal developmental retardation. This gene has not been associated with any phenotypes either in OMIM or in Gene2Phenotype.
