Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

SPRTN may play a role in DNA repair during replication of damaged DNA and in G2/M-checkpoint regulation. Mutations in SPRTN have been associated with Ruijs-Aalfs segmental progeroid syndrome, causing early onset hepatocellular carcinoma, genomic instability and progeroid features [3644]. Many of the displayed features resembled those seen during normal ageing/progeroid syndromes, including: short stature and low weight, delayed bone age, thoracic kyphosis and kyphoscoliosis, cataracts, muscular atrophy, graying of hair, lipodystrophy [3644]. All reported cases so far (N=3) developed hepatocellular carcinoma at an early age (14-17 years old).
