Nature of Mutation
DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified a C to T transition at base pair 86931356 in the Genbank genomic region NC_000077 (Build 37.1) for the Fam33a gene on Chromosome 11 (GTAATGTTTC ->GTAATGTTTT). The mutation is located within intron 3 from the ATG exon, ten nucleotides from the previous exon. Three transcripts of the Fam33a gene are displayed on Ensembl. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).
 
Protein Function and Prediction
The Fam33a gene encodes a 120 amino acid protein that is a component of SKA1 complex, a microtubule-binding subcomplex of the outer kinetochore that is essential for proper chromosome segregation. This complex is required for timely anaphase onset during mitosis, when chromosomes undergo bipolar attachment on spindle microtubules leading to silencing of the spindle checkpoint. The SKA1 complex is a direct component of the kinetochore-microtubule interface and directly associates with microtubules as oligomeric assemblies. The FAM33A protein is required for SKA1 localization (Uniprot Q9CR46).
