Any Meier-Gorlin syndrome in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the GMNN gene.
Features include always present findings: Severe short stature, Thick vermilion border, Microtia, and Delayed skeletal maturation and others; and common findings: Anteverted nares, Gastroesophageal reflux, Motor delay, and Failure to thrive and others. 43 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Brain and nerves | 4 | Depressed nasal ridge, Intellectual disability, Delayed speech and language development |
GMNN encodes geminin DNA replication inhibitor (209 aa). Inhibits DNA replication by preventing the incorporation of MCM complex into pre-replication complex (pre-RC). It is degraded during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. Highest expression in Cells EBV-transformed lymphocytes (41.8 TPM) and Testis (38.0 TPM).
Meier-Gorlin syndrome 6 has been associated with mutations in the GMNN gene on chromosome 6.
The GMNN protein participates in CDT1-mediated loading of MCM2-7 to replication origins, Trunk bipotent pancreatic progenitor cell produces pancreatic ductal cell, and G1/S-Specific Transcription pathways.
GMNN is classified as a druggable target (Druggable Genome category) with score 0.1.
Genetic testing for GMNN is available. Testing is considered supportive for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for Meier-Gorlin syndrome 6 has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 10 always present features, 10 common features.
No clinical trials have been registered for Meier-Gorlin syndrome 6.
