High impact information on BBS10

  • BBS10 encodes a vertebrate-specific chaperonin-like protein and is a major BBS locus [1].
  • FLJ35630 was selected as a candidate gene, because it was predicted to encode a protein with similarity to members of the type II chaperonin superfamily, which includes BBS6 and BBS10 [2].
  • Autozygosity mapping of Bardet-Biedl syndrome to 12q21.2 and confirmation of FLJ23560 as BBS10 [3].
  • Mutation analysis of candidate genes within the target interval, including the BBS10 gene, revealed a homozygous frameshift mutation in FLJ23560 and mutations were also detected in four smaller consanguineous families with regions of autozygosity at 12q21 [3].
 

Biological context of BBS10

  • We found BBS10 to be mutated in about 20% of an unselected cohort of families of various ethnic origins, including some families with mutations in other BBS genes, consistent with oligogenic inheritance [1].
  • We mapped a BBS locus to a 10.1 Mb region at 12q15-q21.2 in a large Omani BBS family (peak lod score 8.3 at theta=0.0 for marker D12S1722) that contained the recently described BBS10 locus [3].
