Additional Information:
Description: (OMIM) |
Marinesco-Sjogren syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized primarily by congenital cataracts, cerebellar ataxia, progressive muscle weakness due to myopathy, and delayed psychomotor development. Other features include short stature, hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism, and skeletal deformities due to muscle weakness. ... |
Clinical Description OMIM |
Cerebellar ataxia, congenital cataracts, and retarded somatic and mental maturation are the cardinal features of MSS. Alter et al. (1962) suggested the designation 'hereditary oligophrenic cerebellolental degeneration.' Garland and Moorhouse (1953) published a striking pedigree. In a boy ... |
Molecular genetics OMIM |
In a Finnish family, Anttonen et al. (2005) confirmed linkage of the disease phenotype to 5q31; meiotic and historical recombinations defined a 3.52-Mb region with a shared haplotype in Finnish individuals with MSS. Further studies narrowed the region ... |
Population genetics OMIM |
Anheim et al. (2010) found that MSS was the fourth most common form of autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia in a cohort of 102 patients from Alsace, France. Of 57 patients in whom a molecular diagnosis could be determined, ... |
Diagnosis GeneReviews | Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (MSS) should be considered in individuals with the following clinical findings:... Gene SymbolTest MethodMutations DetectedMutation Detection Frequency by Test Method 1 Test AvailabilitySIL1Sequence analysis | Sequence variants 2~50%-60%ClinicalSequence analysis of select exons Sequence variants in selected exons 2, 3UnknownDeletion/duplication analysis 4Partial- or whole-gene deletions or duplicationsUnknown 51. Examples of mutations detected by sequence analysis may include small intragenic deletions/insertions and missense, nonsense, and splice site mutations.2. Small intragenic deletions/insertions, missense, nonsense, and splice site mutations.3. Exons sequenced may vary by laboratory. Exons 1 and 2 are not part of the coding region and may not be sequenced.4. Testing that identifies deletions/duplications not readily detectable by sequence analysis of genomic DNA; a variety of methods including quantitative PCR, long-range PCR, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), or targeted array GH (gene/segment-specific) may be used. A full array GH analysis that detects deletions/duplications across the genome may also include this gene/segment.5. Mutation detection frequency is unknown; only one large deletion involving SIL1 has been reported to date [Takahata et al 2010] Testing StrategyTo confirm/establish the diagnosis in a proband Clinical evaluation Brain MRI to evaluate for cerebellar atrophy Muscle biopsy and/or EMG to evaluate for typical myopathic features Molecular genetic testing starting with sequence analysis of SIL1 and followed by deletion/duplication analysis; since myopathic features are not easily detected in children, molecular genetic testing can be performed prior to muscle biopsy or EMG. Carrier testing for at-risk relatives requires prior identification of the disease-causing mutations in the family.Note: Carriers are heterozygotes for this autosomal recessive disorder and are not at risk of developing the disorder.Prenatal diagnosis and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for at-risk pregnancies require prior identification of the disease-causing mutations in the family.Genetically Related (Allelic) DisordersNo other phenotypes are known to be associated with mutations in SIL1.
Clinical Description GeneReviews | Infants with Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (MSS) are born after uncomplicated pregnancies. Muscular hypotonia is usually present in early infancy. Distal and proximal muscular weakness is noticed during the first decade of life. Many affected individuals are never able to walk without assistance. Later, cerebellar findings of truncal ataxia, dysdiadochokinesia, and dysarthria become apparent. Motor function worsens progressively for some years, then stabilizes at an unpredictable age and degree of severity.... |
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews | No genotype-phenotype correlations have been reported to date. It should be noted that the severity of intellectual disability and myopathy vary widely among Finnish individuals, all of whom are homozygous for the same SIL1 mutation.... |
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews | In individuals with atypical features of Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (MSS), the following differential diagnostic possibilities should be considered: ... |
Management GeneReviews | To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (MSS), the following evaluations are recommended:... |

The primary transcript of SIL1 has ten exons and encodes a 461-amino acid protein. Northern blot analysis shows a transcript of approximately 1.8 kb in multiple tissues [Chung et al 2002, Anttonen et al 2005]. SIL1 can be alternatively spliced; a variant missing exon 6 is present in multiple tissues at low levels [Anttonen et al 2005] and another variant with an additional 5’ noncoding exon is present at least in placental tissue. Pathologic allelic variants. A total of 21 mutations have been described in SIL1 (see Table 2. Pathologic Allelic Variants in SIL1; pdf) [Anttonen et al 2005, Senderek et al 2005, Karim et al 2006, Annesi et al 2007, Anttonen et al 2008, Eriguchi et al 2008, Riazuddin et al 2009, Takahata et al 2010]. Most mutations are nonsense or frameshift mutations predicted to truncate the protein product. Splice site mutations, missense mutations, and a larger genomic deletion have also been described. Normal gene product. SIL1 encodes nucleotide exchange factor SIL1 (also known as BAP, for BiP-associated protein) for the endoplasmic reticulum resident heat-shock protein 70 chaperone BiP (also known as GRP78) [Tyson & Stirling 2000, Chung et al 2002]. As a nucleotide exchange factor, SIL1 induces ADP release and ATP binding of BiP. BiP is encoded by HSPA5; it functions in protein translocation, synthesis, and quality control and senses and responds to stressful cellular conditions [Hendershot 2004]. Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (MSS) thus joins the group of protein-processing diseases. Abnormal gene product. Most of the MSS-associated SIL1 mutations predict protein truncation likely to render the protein nonfunctional or to cause the transcript or protein to be degraded. The consequence of the three splice site mutations reported in intron 6 and intron 9, resulting in in-frame deleted SIL1 variants, could be either incorrect folding or absence of important functional domains [Anttonen et al 2005, Senderek et al 2005]. In persons who have in-frame deleted SIL1 variants, immunohistochemical staining is present, indicating that the variant(s) are translated [Anttonen et al 2005]. The MSS-associated missense SIL1 mutation (NM_001037633.1:c.1370T>C)(p.Leu457Pro) (see Table 2) has been studied in more detail [Anttonen et al 2008]. In transiently transfected COS-1 cells the mutant formed aggregates within the ER implying that aggregation of the mutant protein may contribute to MSS pathogenesis. Similar aggregations were found while studying an artificial mutation deleting the last four amino acids (the putative ER retrieval signal) of SIL1 [Anttonen et al 2008].A truncation of Sil1 was shown to cause ataxia and cerebellar Purkinje cell loss in naturally-occurring woozy mutant mouse [Zhao et al 2005]. In the woozy mouse, the cerebellar Purkinje neuron degeneration is similar to that seen in MSS. Aside from the cerebellar defect, no muscle or lens phenotype was reported in the woozy mouse.
