SRCAP

Chr 16AD

Snf2 related CREBBP activator protein

Also known as: DEHMBA, DOMO1, FLHS, SWR1

The protein functions as an ATPase that incorporates the histone variant H2A.Z into nucleosomes and serves as the core catalytic component of the SRCAP chromatin-remodeling complex. Mutations cause Floating-Harbor syndrome, characterized by short stature, language deficits, and dysmorphic facial features, as well as developmental delay with hypotonia, musculoskeletal defects, and behavioral abnormalities. The condition follows autosomal dominant inheritance with loss-of-function being the predicted mechanism of pathogenicity.

Definitive — sufficient evidence for diagnostic panels

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (loss-of-function and dominant-negative). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to loss-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.

Literature Evidence

DNHood et al. (2012) stated that given the structure of SRCAP, the nonrandom clustering of truncating mutations seen in these patients was strongly suggestive of a dominant-negative disease mechanism due to loss of one or more critical domains.PMID:22265015

Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
