SNX14

Chr 6AR

sorting nexin 14

Also known as: RGS-PX2, SCAR20

This protein maintains normal neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission through intracellular trafficking functions, specifically binding phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate and mediating autophagosome clearance by facilitating lysosome-autophagosome fusion. Mutations cause spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 20 through an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The pathogenic mechanism is predicted to involve gain-of-function effects.

The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
