Mendeliome v2.346 ST6GALNAC1 Zornitza Stark Marked gene: ST6GALNAC1 as ready
Mendeliome v2.346 ST6GALNAC1 Zornitza Stark Gene: st6galnac1 has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
Mendeliome v2.110 ST6GALNAC1 Sarah Milton gene: ST6GALNAC1 was added
gene: ST6GALNAC1 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: ST6GALNAC1 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: ST6GALNAC1 were set to 35303419
Phenotypes for gene: ST6GALNAC1 were set to Inflammatory bowel disease, MONDO:0005265, ST6GALNAC1-related
Review for gene: ST6GALNAC1 was set to RED
Added comment: ST6GALNAC1 encodes a protein involved in terminal sialyation of intestinal mucin proteins which act as a barrier, part of innate defenses in the gut.

PMID 35303419 reports 3 individuals from 3 families with biallelic missense variants in ST6GALNAC1 presenting with early onset inflammatory bowel disease. However family 1 were consanguineous, family 2 had unaffected sibling with the same variants, 2 of the missense variants reported in affected individuals had 9 homozygotes in gnomAD v4.
Loss of function was the proposed mechanism with reduced penetrance proposed by the authors.

Functional studies with transfection of a patient variant in mice found no GI abnormalities consistent with IBD however thinning of intestinal mucus was noted.
Cell models supported loss of function for the reported missense variants.

Further papers are required to establish evidence for this gene disease association.
