Microcephaly

Gene: CCDC84

I don't know

PMID: 34009673- patients with constitutional mosaic aneuploidy were found to have biallelic mutations in CENATAC(CCDC84). 2 adult siblings with mosaic aneuploidies, microcephaly, dev delay, and maculopathy. Both chet for a missense and a splice site deletion- but the paper days these both result in the creation of a novel splice site that leads to frameshifts and loss of the c-terminal 64 amino acids.

Gene is shown to be part of a spliceosome. CENATAC depletion or expression of disease mutants resulted in retention of introns in ~100 genes enriched for nucleocytoplasmic transport and cell cycle regulation, and caused chromosome segregation errors.

Functional analysis in CENATAC-depleted HeLa cells demonstrated chromosome congression defects and subsequent mitotic arrest, which could be fully rescued by wildtype but not mutant CENATAC. Expression of the MVA-associated mutants exacerbated the phenotype, suggesting that the mutant proteins dominantly repress the function of any residual wildtype protein.
