IER3IP1 encodes immediate early response 3 interacting protein 1 (82 aa). Regulator of endoplasmic reticulum secretion that acts as a key determinant of brain size. Required for secretion of extracellular matrix proteins. Highest expression in Cells Cultured fibroblasts (41.4 TPM) and Pituitary (26.4 TPM).
Microcephaly, epilepsy, and diabetes syndrome 1 is associated with mutations in the IER3IP1 gene on chromosome 18.
IER3IP1 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for IER3IP1 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for microcephaly, epilepsy, and diabetes syndrome 1 has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 6 always present features, 8 common features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for microcephaly, epilepsy, and diabetes syndrome 1.
79 publications have been identified in PubMed for microcephaly, epilepsy, and diabetes syndrome 1. Research spans Epidemiology / Natural History (34%), Review / Meta-Analysis (23%), and Clinical Trial Publication (22%).
