SCNM1, a Putative RNA Splicing Factor That Modifies Disease Severity in Mice

Buchner, David A., Trudeau, Michelle, Meisler, Miriam H.·2003·Science

Abstract

The severity of many inherited disorders is influenced by genetic background. We describe a modifier interaction in C57BL/6Jmice that converts a chronic movement disorder into a lethal neurological disease. The primary mutation (med J ) changes a splice donor site of the sodium channel gene Scn8a (Na v 1.6). The modifier mutation is characteristic of strain C57BL/6Jand introduces a nonsense codon into sodium channel modifier 1 (SCNM1), a zinc finger protein and a putative splice factor. An internally deleted SCNM1 protein is also predicted as a result of exon skipping associated with disruption of a consensus exonic splicing enhancer. The effect of the modifier mutation is to reduce the abundance of correctly spliced sodium channel transcripts below the threshold for survival. Our finding that genetic variation in a putative RNA splicing factor influences disease susceptibility in mice raises the possibility that a similar mechanism modifies the severity of human inherited disorders.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
