Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Comments | |
A C-terminal truncation (deletion) mutation in Gpr161 causes congenital cataracts and neural tube defects in the vacuolated lens (vl) mouse mutant [5]. The mutated receptor is associated with cataract, spina bifida and white belly spot phenotypes in mice [2]. GPR161 is required for right-left patterning in zebrafish development via modulation of Ca2+ in cells surrounding Kupffer's vesicles [3]. |

Clinically-Relevant Mutations and Pathophysiology Comments | ||||||||||||
A C-terminal truncation (deletion) mutation in Gpr61 causes congenital cataracts and neural tube defects in the vacuolated lens (vl) mouse mutant. Foxe3 is a genetic modifier that interacts with GPR161 to regulate lens development [5]. The mutated receptor is associated with cataract, spina bifidia and white belly spot phenotypes in mice [2]. |
Gene Expression and Pathophysiology Comments | |
Variants of GPR161 are associated with developmental disorders in man [1,6]. |
Biologically Significant Variant Comments |
The vacuolated lens C-terminal GPR161 truncation mutation affects receptor mediated endocytosis [5]. |
