Overview

This report includes information about branchiootorenal syndrome 1 (BOR1), which is one of several related autosomal dominant diseases associated with the human gene EYA1; see the human disease model report for 'branchiootorenal spectrum disorders, EYA1-related' (see FBhh0000463).

Variant(s) implicated in human disease tested (as analogous mutation in fly gene): G594S in the fly eya gene [corresponds to G393S (G426S) in the human EYA1 gene]; S655P in the fly eya gene [corresponds to S454P (S487P) in the human EYA1 gene]; L673R in the fly eya gene [corresponds to L472R (L505R) in the human EYA1 gene].

OMIM report

[BRANCHIOOTORENAL SYNDROME 1; BOR1](https://omim.org/entry/113650)

Human gene(s) implicated

[EYA TRANSCRIPTIONAL COACTIVATOR AND PHOSPHATASE 1; EYA1](https://omim.org/entry/601653)

Symptoms and phenotype

Branchiootorenal syndrome BOR) is characterized by sensorineural, conductive, or mixed hearing loss, structural defects of the outer, middle, and inner ear, branchial fistulas or cysts, and renal abnormalities ranging from mild hypoplasia to complete absence. Reduced penetrance and variable expressivity are observed (Fraser et al., 1978; pubmed:263442). [from MIM:113650; 2017.01.06]

Genetics

Branchiootorenal syndrome 1 (BOR1) is caused by heterozygous mutation in the EYA1 gene (autosomal dominant). [from MIM:113650; 2017.01.06]

      eyes absent (eya) encodes a transcriptional cofactor that physically interacts with several other retinal determination proteins, including those encoded by ey, dac, and so. The product of eya regulates eye, gonad, and brain development as well as axon pathfinding. [Date last reviewed: 2018-09-06]

      Comments on ortholog(s)

      Moderate- to high-scoring ortholog of human EYA1, EYA2, EYA3, and EYA4 (1 Drosophila to 4 human). Dmel\eya shares 39-45% identity and 51-58% similarity with the human genes.
