HNRNPK

On this page, you will find information about a genetic change that was identified in a UDN participant. We are trying to find others with the same or similar condition.

Sharing information on this website is not a requirement of UDN participation. Only descriptions about participants who give explicit consent will appear here.

A change in this gene was identified in a male, age 16, with intellectual disability, facial differences, skull differences (metopic craniosynostosis), and low muscle tone (hypotonia) (read full description).

Date of Report

Oct 07, 2019

Full Name

heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K

Location

Chromosome 9 (9q21.32)

Function

The HNRNPK gene codes for heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K, which helps regulate transcription, specifically by influencing pre-mRNA processing, metabolism, and transport. In addition, it plays an important role in response to DNA damage and is a cofactor for p53 (Moumen et al., 2005, UniProtKB).

Clinical Significance

Changes in the HNRNPK gene have been found in individuals with Au-Kline syndrome (OMIM). A UDN participant, who has features of this condition, was found to carry the following genetic change:

Gene	Inheritance	Position (hg19)	Transcript	DNA Change	Protein Change
HNRNPK	Autosomal dominant	chr9:g.86591920A>C	NM_002140.3	c.203T>G	p.Leu68Arg
