The 5 BRCT Repeats and their disease

S.NOUniprot ID Protein Name Sequence LengthBRCT Repeats regionDisease
1 Q8NEM0 Microcephalin835"DISEASE: Microcephaly 1, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH1) [MIM:251200]: A disease defined as a head circumference more than 3 standard deviations below the age-related mean.
Brain weight is markedly reduced and the cerebral cortex is disproportionately small.
Despite this marked reduction in size, the gyral pattern is relatively well preserved, with no major abnormality in cortical architecture.
Affected individuals are mentally retarded.
Primary microcephaly is further defined by the absence of other syndromic features or significant neurological deficits due to degenerative brain disorder.
Some MCHP1 patients also present growth retardation, short stature, and misregulated chromosome condensation as indicated by a high number of prophase-like cells detected in routine cytogenetic preparations and poor-quality metaphase G-banding.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
2 P38398 Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein 1863"DISEASE: Breast cancer (BC) [MIM:114480]: A common malignancy originating from breast epithelial tissue.
Breast neoplasms can be distinguished by their histologic pattern.
Invasive ductal carcinoma is by far the most common type.
Breast cancer is etiologically and genetically heterogeneous.
Important genetic factors have been indicated by familial occurrence and bilateral involvement.
Mutations at more than one locus can be involved in different families or even in the same case.
Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Mutations in BRCA1 are thought to be responsible for 45% of inherited breast cancer.
Moreover, BRCA1 carriers have a 4-fold increased risk of colon cancer, whereas male carriers face a 3-fold increased risk of prostate cancer.
Cells lacking BRCA1 show defects in DNA repair by homologous recombination.
; DISEASE: Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, 1 (BROVCA1) [MIM:604370]: A condition associated with familial predisposition to cancer of the breast and ovaries.
Characteristic features in affected families are an early age of onset of breast cancer (often before age 50), increased chance of bilateral cancers (cancer that develop in both breasts, or both ovaries, independently), frequent occurrence of breast cancer among men, increased incidence of tumors of other specific organs, such as the prostate.
Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Mutations in BRCA1 are thought to be responsible for more than 80% of inherited breast-ovarian cancer.
; DISEASE: Ovarian cancer (OC) [MIM:167000]: The term ovarian cancer defines malignancies originating from ovarian tissue.
Although many histologic types of ovarian tumors have been described, epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the most common form.
Ovarian cancers are often asymptomatic and the recognized signs and symptoms, even of late-stage disease, are vague.
Consequently, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease.
Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
; DISEASE: Pancreatic cancer 4 (PNCA4) [MIM:614320]: A malignant neoplasm of the pancreas.
Tumors can arise from both the exocrine and endocrine portions of the pancreas, but 95% of them develop from the exocrine portion, including the ductal epithelium, acinar cells, connective tissue, and lymphatic tissue.
Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
; DISEASE: Fanconi anemia, complementation group S (FANCS) [MIM:617883]: A form of Fanconi anemia, a disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia.
It is associated with cardiac, renal and limb malformations, dermal pigmentary changes, and a predisposition to the development of malignancies.
At the cellular level it is associated with hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, chromosomal instability (increased chromosome breakage) and defective DNA repair.
Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
3 Q12888 TP53-binding protein 1 1972DISEASE: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving TP53BP1 is found in a form of myeloproliferative disorder chronic with eosinophilia.
Translocation t(5;15)(q33;q22) with PDGFRB creating a TP53BP1-PDGFRB fusion protein.
4 P18887 DNA repair protein XRCC1 633"DISEASE: Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive, 26 (SCAR26) [MIM:617633]: A form of spinocerebellar ataxia, a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord.
SCAR26 is a progressive disease characterized by gait and limb ataxia, loss of independent ambulation, oculomotor apraxia, and peripheral neuropathy with distal muscle weakness and areflexia.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
5 P49917 DNA ligase 4 911"DISEASE: LIG4 syndrome (LIG4S) [MIM:606593]: Characterized by immunodeficiency and developmental and growth delay.
Patients display unusual facial features, microcephaly, growth and/or developmental delay, pancytopenia, and various skin abnormalities.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
; DISEASE: Severe combined immunodeficiency autosomal recessive T-cell-negative/B-cell-negative/NK-cell-positive with sensitivity to ionizing radiation (RSSCID) [MIM:602450]: A form of severe combined immunodeficiency, a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare congenital disorders characterized by impairment of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity, leukopenia, and low or absent antibody levels.
Patients present in infancy with recurrent, persistent infections by opportunistic organisms.
The common characteristic of all types of SCID is absence of T-cell-mediated cellular immunity due to a defect in T-cell development.
Individuals affected by RS-SCID show defects in the DNA repair machinery necessary for coding joint formation and the completion of V(D)J recombination.
A subset of cells from such patients show increased radiosensitivity.
Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry".
