Description

In affected members of a German family with autosomal dominant giant axonal neuropathy-2 (GAN2; 610100), originally reported by Vogel et al. (1985), Klein et al. (2014) identified a heterozygous mutation in the DCAF8 gene, resulting in an arg317-to-cys (R317C) substitution at a highly conserved residue in the third WD repeat. The mutation, which was found by whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing, segregated with the disorder in the family. It was not present in the dbSNP (build 135), 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Variant Server databases, or in 1,536 controls of European ancestry. In vitro functional expression assays in HEK293 cells showed that the R317C mutant protein decreased DCAF8 binding to DDB1 (600045), indicating a negative impact on recruitment of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Klein et al. (2014) postulated that the mutation caused a defect in E3 ubiquitin ligase-mediated neurofilament degradation.
