Description

OBSL1 (obscurin like 1) encodes a cytoskeletal protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is involved in the assembly and maintenance of the sarcomere and interacts with other structural proteins. Mutations in OBSL1 are associated with 3M syndrome, a disorder characterized by severe growth retardation, facial dysmorphism, and skeletal abnormalities.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
3M syndrome Loss-of-function mutations in OBSL1 disrupt cytoskeletal organization, impairing growth and development. ClinVar, OMIM
Short stature (idiopathic) Rare variants in OBSL1 may contribute to growth failure. ClinVar

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.1645C>T (p.Arg549*) Nonsense Rare Loss of function; associated with 3M syndrome
c.1111delC (p.Leu371Trpfs*3) Frameshift Rare Loss of function; associated with 3M syndrome
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Most OBSL1 mutations are loss-of-function, leading to haploinsufficiency or truncated protein, causing 3M syndrome.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations reported.

Dominant Negative (DN)

No dominant-negative mutations reported.

Gene Ontology (GO)

• cytoskeleton • sarcomere organization
• protein binding • structural constituent of muscle

Pathways

Sarcomere assembly
Cytoskeletal signaling

Protein Summary

OBSL1 is a 1,795-amino acid protein containing multiple immunoglobulin-like domains. It localizes to the sarcomere and interacts with obscurin and other cytoskeletal components, playing a critical role in muscle structure and growth regulation.
