Mendeliome v2.0 SKIC2 Gene symbol changed from SKIV2L to SKIC2 during gene set migration (ENSG00000204351 -> ENSG00000204351)
Mendeliome v1.4072 SKIV2L Zornitza Stark commented on gene: SKIV2L: New HGNC approved name is SKIC2
Mendeliome v1.252 FOCAD Zornitza Stark gene: FOCAD was added
gene: FOCAD was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Expert Review
Mode of inheritance for gene: FOCAD was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: FOCAD were set to 35864190
Phenotypes for gene: FOCAD were set to Liver disease, severe congenital, MIM# 619991
Review for gene: FOCAD was set to GREEN
Added comment: Moreno Traspas et al 2022 reported 14 children from ten unrelated families with syndromic form of pediatric liver cirrhosis. Genome/exome sequencing analysis reveled biallelic variants in the FOCAD gene. Most of the mutations were nonsense, frameshift, or splice site alterations, predicted to result in a loss of function, but there were also 3 missense variants at highly conserved residues. Western blot analysis of dermal fibroblasts derived from 2 patients showed near absent FOCAD expression in cellular extracts. There were also decreased levels of the SKIC2 protein, suggesting that FOCAD may contribute to the stability of RNA helicase (OMIM: 619991).
