Mendeliome v1.1511 RHOXF1 Zornitza Stark Gene: rhoxf1 has been classified as Amber List (Moderate Evidence).
Mendeliome v1.1510 RHOXF1 Chris Ciotta gene: RHOXF1 was added
gene: RHOXF1 was added to Mendeliome. Sources: Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: RHOXF1 was set to X-LINKED: hemizygous mutation in males, biallelic mutations in females
Publications for gene: RHOXF1 were set to PMID: 38258527
Phenotypes for gene: RHOXF1 were set to Spermatogenic failure, MONDO:0004983, RHOXF1-related
Review for gene: RHOXF1 was set to AMBER
Added comment: In a cohort of 1,201 men from China with oligozoospermia and azoospermia, hemizygous RHOXF1 variants were identified in 4 unrelated individuals.

Three of these variants were missense variants (V130M, A91V & A156V), all were absent from gnomAD (including version 4) and had deleterious in silicos.

The one other variant was a nonsense variant (R160X) which is predicted to escape NMD and truncate the protein. This is seen in gnomAD version 4 in 1 heterozygote female, and absent in other versions.

In vitro functional evidence for these variants was provided, the V130M, A156V and R160X mutants demonstrated impaired protein localisation with an increase in the protein in the cytoplasm and impaired nuclear entry, the A91V mutant protein did not share these localisation defects.

Further, The V130M mutant protein decreased DMRT1 promotor activity, DMRT1 is considered essential for testicular development and spermatogenesis. However, the R160X variant demonstrated increased activation, three times higher than WT. The two other missense variants had no effect.
