DIRC3

Identity

Hugo	DIRC3
Location	2q35

DNA/RNA

Description

The gene spans 3071 bp and contains 12 exons. The last exon contains a consensus polyadenylation site sequence (AGTAA) at 20 nt upstream op the poly(a) addition site. DIRC3 expression could be detected in the placenta, but low expression was found in most tissues and the gene may act as a non-coding RNA.

Implicated in

Entity	t(2;3)(q35;q21) and hereditary renal cell cancer.
Disease	Familial renal cell cancer.
Cytogenetics	Disruption of the gene because of the t(2;3) translocation.
	A schematic overview of the breakpoint regions on chromosome 2 and 3 in a family with a t(2;3) translocation with the breakpoint genes DIRC2 and DIRC3, the fusion protein DIRC3-HSPBAP1 and their neighbouring genes. (TNS: tensin; SEMA5B: sema domain 5B)
Abnormal Protein	DIRC3-HSPBAP1 is formed by replacing the first coding exon of HSPBAP1 by the first two exons of DIRC3. The fusion transcript most likely encodes a truncated HSPBAP1 protein starting from a internal initiation side embedded in a strong Kozak consensus sequence.
