Mendeliome v1.1992 RFC4 Chirag Patel gene: RFC4 was added
gene: RFC4 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: RFC4 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: RFC4 were set to PMID: 39106866
Phenotypes for gene: RFC4 were set to RFC4-related multisystem disorder
Review for gene: RFC4 was set to GREEN
gene: RFC4 was marked as current diagnostic
Added comment: 9 affected individuals (aged birth to 47yrs) from 8 unrelated families with a multisystem disorder. Clinical features included: muscle weakness/myopathy (9/9), motor incoordination/gait disturbance (8/8), delayed gross motor development (6/9), dysarthria (5/5), peripheral neuropathy (3/3 adults), bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment (6/9), decreased body weight (8/9), short stature (5/9), microcephaly (4/9), respiratory issues/insufficiency (6/9), cerebellar atrophy (4/9), pituitary hypoplasia (3/9).

WES or WGS identified biallelic loss-of-function variants in RFC4 (3 frameshift, 2 splice site, 1 single AA duplication, 2 single AA deletions, 2 missense), and almost all are likely to disrupt the C-terminal domain indispensable for Replication factor C (RFC) complex formation. All variants segregated with the disease.

The RFC complex (with 5 subunits) is central to process of regulation of DNA replication, and it loads proliferating cell nuclear antigen onto DNA to facilitate the recruitment of replication and repair proteins and enhance DNA polymerase processivity. RFC1 is associated with CANVAS but the contributions of RFC2-5 subunits on human Mendelian disorders is unknown.

Analysis of a previously determined cryo-EM structure of RFC bound to proliferating cell nuclear antigen suggested that the variants disrupt interactions within RFC4 and/or destabilize the RFC complex. Cellular studies using RFC4-deficient HeLa cells and primary fibroblasts demonstrated decreased RFC4 protein, compromised stability of the other RFC complex subunits, and perturbed RFC complex formation. Additionally, functional studies of the RFC4 variants affirmed diminished RFC complex formation, and cell cycle studies suggested perturbation of DNA replication and cell cycle progression.

Mendeliome v1.1691 CANVAS_ACAGG Bryony Thompson edited their review of STR: CANVAS_ACAGG: Added comment: Additional 4 unrelated cases homozygous for the (ACAGG)exp and one compound het with AAGGG/ACAGG expansion in a Japanese neuropathy cohort.; Changed rating: GREEN; Changed publications: 33103729, 36061987; Changed phenotypes: cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and bilateral vestibular areflexia syndrome MONDO:0044720; Set clinically relevant: yes
Mendeliome v1.1071 CANVAS Dean Phelan reviewed STR: CANVAS: Rating: GREEN; Mode of pathogenicity: None; Publications: PMID: 37450567; Phenotypes: Cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, and vestibular areflexia syndrome (MIM:614575); Mode of inheritance: BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Mendeliome v0.5601 CANVAS_ACAGG Bryony Thompson changed review comment from: A novel RFC1 repeat expansion motif, (ACAGG)exp, identified in three affected individuals from 2 families in an Asian-Pacific cohort for CANVAS. Southern blot was used to identify the repeat was ~1000kb in one of the cases, equivalent to ~1000 repeats.

Mendeliome v0.5598 CANVAS Bryony Thompson STR: CANVAS was added
STR: CANVAS was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Expert list
Mode of inheritance for STR: CANVAS was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for STR: CANVAS were set to 30926972; 32851396

Review for STR: CANVAS was set to GREEN
STR: CANVAS was marked as clinically relevant
Added comment: Simple tandem repeat (AAAAG)11 replaced with (AAGGG)n in intron 2 of RFC1. Loss of function is not the mechanism of disease. Maori population-specific CANVAS configuration (AAAGG)10-25(AAGGG)exp. (AAAGG)n repeat alone is not pathogenic.
