Summary
This region is known to undergo non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) with another region, containing a similar human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) element about 2.7 Mb centromere-proximal to this region, on the q arm of chromosome 8. Recombination with the 8q13.2-q13.3 proximal HERV-mediated recombination region can result in deletions of the intervening sequence, and is a cause of branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome. BOR is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by branchial arch anomalies, hearing loss and renal dysmorphology. Anomalies within the EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 1 (EYA1) gene have been implicated as one cause of BOR, and this gene lies within the region that can be deleted due to NAHR between the 8q13.2-q13.3 proximal and distal HERV-mediated recombination regions. Individuals with the microdeletion as a result of NAHR have features consistent with EYA1-related BOR, but can also have additional features that could include short stature, structural anomalies and a mild learning disability. Recombination breakpoints of individuals with the recurrent microdeletion are indicated as NAHR sub-regions on the record. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
