Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SWI/SNF family of proteins and is similar to the brahma protein of Drosophila. Members of this family have helicase and ATPase activities and are thought to regulate transcription of certain genes by altering the chromatin structure around those genes. The encoded protein is part of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SNF/SWI, which is required for transcriptional activation of genes normally repressed by chromatin. In addition, this protein can bind BRCA1, as well as regulate the expression of the tumorigenic protein CD44. Mutations in this gene cause rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome type 2. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012] CIViC Summary for SMARCA4 Gene

Forensic Context

A study in mice demonstrated that the SMARCA4 (also known as Dlx6os1) is an ultraconserved enhancer lncRNA that organizes megabase distant genes in the developing forebrain [Mattick et al. DOI:10.1038/s41580-022-00566-8]. Experimental evidence from mouse neural progenitor cells shows that depletion of the SMARCA4 specifically affects the number of Tuj1-positive cells in a subventricular zone neural progenitor differentiation assay, indicating its role in neural cell fate control [Flynn and Chang DOI:10.1016/j.stem.2014.05.014].
