MUC1 (Mucin-1) variants and mutations
MUC1 (also known as Mucin-1) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a mucin-1 protein. It forms a heavily glycosylated protective barrier on the apical surface of many epithelia and also participates in intracellular signaling. A specific frameshift mechanism causes autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease, while overexpression and abnormal glycosylation are common in carcinomas. This analysis covers 16 MUC1 variants and mutations. Disease context includes tubulointerstitial kidney disease, autosomal dominant, 2, autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease with or without hyperuricemia, and non-small cell lung carcinoma. Example MUC1 variants include T84M, E85D, and G109R.
