Gene HPO term PubMed ID Evidence
DKC1 Postnatal growth
retardation
PMID: 10583221 “Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson (HH) syndrome is a multisystem
disorder affecting boys characterized by aplastic
anaemia (AA), immunodeficiency, microcephaly, cerebellarhypoplasia and growth retardation…We therefore
analysed the DKC1 gene in two HH families. In one family a nucleotide change at position 361(A–>G) in exon
5 was found in both affected brothers; in the other family a nucleotide change at position 146(C–>T) in exon 3
was found in the affected boys…”
PEX13 Neonatal hypotonia PMID:12897163
(mouse)
“…In the studies reported here, we crossed these mice with transgenic mice that express Cre recombinase
in all cells to generate progeny with ubiquitous disruption of Pex13. The mutant pups exhibited many of the
clinical features of Zellweger syndrome patients, including intrauterine growth retardation, severe hypotonia,
failure to feed, and neonatal death…”
PEX13 Retinal dystrophy PMID:10441568,
PMID: 10332040
“…The clinical course of patients with the NALD and IRD presentation is variable and may include
developmental delay, hypotonia, liver dysfunction, sensorineural hearing loss, retinal dystrophy and vision
impairment…” (UniProt entry for PEX13)
RPE65 Retinal dystrophy PMID: 23878505 “…These results strongly suggest that causal mutations in RPE65 are responsible for retinal dystrophy in the
affected individuals of these consanguineous Pakistani families…”
BEST1 Retinitis pigmentosa PMID: 19853238 “…Missense mutations in a retinal pigment epithelium protein, bestrophin-1, cause retinitis pigmentosa…”
PRPF6 Retinitis pigmentosa PMID: 21549338 “…A missense mutation in PRPF6 causes impairment of pre-mRNA splicing and autosomal-dominant retinitis
pigmentosa…”
SNRNP200 Retinitis pigmentosa PMID: 19878916 “…Autosomal-dominant retinitis pigmentosa caused by a mutation in SNRNP200, a gene required for
unwinding of U4/U6 snRNAs…”
ORC1 Emphysema PMID: 22333897 “…Four individuals were deceased: two siblings with mutations in ORC1, of which one passed away at the age
of 3 months with a severe cortical dysplasia, pachygyria and ventricular enlargement, cranial suture stenosis,
congenital emphysema of the lung, and absence of the pancreatic tail, in addition to the classical triad of
MGS (microtia, patellar anomalies, and short stature)…”
CUL7 Hip dysplasia PMID: 21396581 “A predisposing factor in hip dysplasia etiology is ligamentous laxity, presented in more than half of the
patients with 3M syndrome described in the literature…3M syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder. In
2005, using an homozygosity mapping strategy, we have mapped the disease locus gene on chromosome
6p21.1 and identified mutations in Cullin 7 ( CUL7, KIAA0076) gene…While CUL7 appears to be the major
gene responsible for 3M syndrome accounting for 70% of our cases,…”
ACTB Postnatal microcephaly PMID: 22366783 “…Riviere et al. (2012) reported on 10 children with Baraitser-Winter syndrome and mutations in the ACTB
gene. Six of the 10 had short stature; 6 of 9 evaluated had postnatal microcephaly;…” (OMIM entry for ACTB)
ACTB Progressive hearing
impairment
PMID:16685646
(mouse)
“…However, aging mice with β- actin or γ-actin deficient hair cells develop different patterns of progressive
hearing loss and distinct pathogenic changes in stereocilia morphology, despite colocalization of the actin
isoforms…”
MSH2 Gastrointestinal
carcinoma
PMID: 8252616 “… hMSH2 maps to human chromosome 2p22-21 near a locus implicated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon
cancer (HNPCC)…These data and reports indicating that S.cerevisiae msh2 mutations cause an instability of
dinucleotide repeats like those associated with HNPCC suggest that hMSH2 is the HNPCC gene…”
MSH2 Malignant
gastrointestinal tract
tumors
PMID: 8252616 “… hMSH2 maps to human chromosome 2p22-21 near a locus implicated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon
cancer (HNPCC)…These data and reports indicating that S.cerevisiae msh2 mutations cause an instability of
dinucleotide repeats like those associated with HNPCC suggest that hMSH2 is the HNPCC gene…”

colorectal carcinoma

The columns “HPO term”, “PubMed ID” and “Evidence” provides the false positive prediction made by PHENOStruct for the given gene, PubMed ID of the literature that contains evidence which actually suggests that the prediction should be considered true and the excerpt from that literature which contains the evidence, respectively. We used the 25 false positive predictions for the 17 proteins that had the highest individual protein-centric precision and found evidence for 14 predictions. Two of the evidence comes from studies involving mice (indicated within parentheses with the PubMed ID)
