LBR encodes lamin B receptor (615 aa). Catalyzes the reduction of the C14-unsaturated bond of lanosterol, as part of the metabolic pathway leading to cholesterol biosynthesis. Highest expression in Colon Sigmoid (89.3 TPM) and Cells EBV-transformed lymphocytes (88.9 TPM).
Regressive spondylometaphyseal dysplasia has been associated with mutations in the LBR gene on chromosome 1.
The LBR protein participates in 4,4-dimethylcholesta-8(9),14,24-trien-3beta-ol is reduced to 4,4-dimethylcholesta-8(9),24-dien-3beta-ol [LBR], 4,4-dimethylcholesta-8(9),14,24-trien-3beta-ol is reduced to 4,4-dimethylcholesta-8(9),24-dien-3beta-ol [TM7SF2], and RHOC activates endoplasmic reticulum effectors pathways.
LBR is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for LBR is available. Testing is considered supportive for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 27 always present features, 18 common features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for regressive spondylometaphyseal dysplasia.
2 publications have been identified in PubMed for regressive spondylometaphyseal dysplasia. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (50%) and Basic Science / Preclinical (50%).
