Cholestasis v0.234 FOCAD Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: 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).
