Genetic Epilepsy v0.1208 MAST1 Zornitza Stark Marked gene: MAST1 as ready
Genetic Epilepsy v0.1208 MAST1 Zornitza Stark Gene: mast1 has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Genetic Epilepsy v0.1208 MAST1 Zornitza Stark Classified gene: MAST1 as Green List (high evidence)
Genetic Epilepsy v0.1208 MAST1 Zornitza Stark Gene: mast1 has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Genetic Epilepsy v0.1207 MAST1 Zornitza Stark gene: MAST1 was added
gene: MAST1 was added to Genetic Epilepsy. Sources: Expert Review
Mode of inheritance for gene: MAST1 was set to MONOALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal, NOT imprinted
Publications for gene: MAST1 were set to 31721002; 30449657; 32198973
Phenotypes for gene: MAST1 were set to Mega-corpus-callosum syndrome with cerebellar hypoplasia and cortical malformations; OMIM #618273
Review for gene: MAST1 was set to GREEN
Added comment: 7 unrelated patients with mega-corpus-callosum syndrome with cerebellar hypoplasia and cortical malformations (MCCCHCM) with de novo heterozygous mutations in MAST1 gene. Intellectual disability and seizures are clinical features, together with characteristic brain imaging abnormalities.

In vitro functional studies showed that 1 of the variants (lys276del) increased MAST1 binding to microtubules compared to controls. Mutant mice heterozygous for a Mast1 leu278del allele showed a thicker corpus callosum compared to wildtype, and an overall reduction in cortical volume and thickness and decreased cerebellar volume and number of granule and Purkinje cells due to increased apoptosis compared to controls.

1 Emirati patient with ID, microcephaly, and dysmorphic features, with missense variant in MAST1.
