Overview

This report describes rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome 1, also called atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor. The human gene implicated in this disease is SMARCB1, which encodes a subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. There is a single Drosophila ortholog, Snr1, for which classical loss-of-function alleles, RNAi-targeting constructs, and alleles caused by insertional mutagenesis have been generated. The human SMARCB1 gene is implicated in several other diseases (see MIM:601607), most notably Coffin-Siris syndrome 3 (MIM:614608).

The human SMARCB1 gene has not been introduced into flies.

Animals homozygous for the most severe loss-of-function alleles of Snr1 die during the embryonic or larval stages. Using RNAi constructs, ubiquitous knockdown is associated with larval lethality and increased proliferation and brain volume of the larval brain. Tissue-specific knockdown results in later stages of lethality. Using changes in the stage of lethality as an assay for genetic interactions, several members of the hippo signaling pathway were identified. Additional genetic interactions and physical interactions have been characterized; see below and in the gene report for Dmel\Snr1.

Human gene(s) implicated

[SWI/SNF-RELATED, MATRIX-ASSOCIATED, ACTIN-DEPENDENT REGULATOR OF CHROMATIN, SUBFAMILY B, MEMBER 1; SMARCB1](https://omim.org/entry/601607)

Symptoms and phenotype

Rhabdoid tumors can arise in any location in the body but are most commonly observed in the brain (where they are called atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors or rhabdoid tumors of the CNS) and in the kidney (where they are called malignant rhabdoid tumors or rhabdoid tumors of the kidney) (Srendi and Tomita, 2015; pubmed:25494491).

Rhabdoid tumors are a highly malignant group of neoplasms that usually occur in children less than 2 years of age. The rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome is an autosomal dominant cancer syndrome predisposing to renal or extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumors and to a variety of tumors of the central nervous system (Sevenet et al., 1999; pubmed:10521299). [from MIM:609322; 2016.12.01]

Genetics

Rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome 1 (RTPS1) is caused by heterozygous germline mutation in the SMARCB1 gene (autosomal dominant). [from MIM:609322; 2016.12.01]

Cellular phenotype and pathology
Molecular information

The SMARCB1 gene encodes a subunit of the SWI/SNF ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complex. [from MIM:601607; 2016.12.01]

      Gene Snapshot
      Snf5-related 1 (Snr1) encodes a core component of the ATP-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex (Brahma complex). It functions as a tumor suppressor and is required for maintaining normal endosomal trafficking-mediated signaling cascades. [Date last reviewed: 2018-09-13]
