Summary
GNAS (GNAS complex locus, HGNC:4392) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q13.32, encoding Neuroendocrine secretory protein 55 (O95467). In precision oncology, GNAS c.393T>C is associated with resistance to Gefitinib + Erlotinib in Lung Non-small Cell Carcinoma (CIViC Level B); 4 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This locus has a highly complex imprinted expression pattern. It gives rise to maternally, paternally, and biallelically expressed transcripts that are derived from four alternative promoters and 5’ exons. Some transcripts contain a differentially methylated region (DMR) at their 5’ exons, and this DMR is commonly found in imprinted genes and correlates with transcript expression. An antisense transcript is produced from an overlapping locus on the opposite strand. One of the transcripts produced from this locus, and the antisense transcript, are paternally expressed noncoding RNAs, and may regulate imprinting in this region. In addition, one of the transcripts contains a second overlapping ORF, which encodes a structurally unrelated protein - Alex. Alternative splicing of downstream exons is also observed, which results in different forms of the stimulatory G-protein alpha subunit, a key element of the classical signal transduction pathway linking receptor-ligand interactions with the activation of adenylyl cyclase and a variety of cellular reponses. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Mutations in this gene result in pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a, pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b, Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, McCune-Albright syndrome, progressive osseus heteroplasia, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone, and some pituitary tumors.

Disease relevance. ACTH-independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia 1 (AIMAH1) [MIM:219080] A rare adrenal defect characterized by multiple, bilateral, non-pigmented, benign, adrenocortical nodules. It results in excessive production of cortisol leading to ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome. Clinical manifestations of Cushing syndrome include facial and truncal obesity, abdominal striae, muscular weakness, osteoporosis, arterial hypertension, diabetes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Pseudohypoparathyroidism 1B (PHP1B) [MIM:603233] A disorder characterized by end-organ resistance to parathyroid hormone, hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. Patients affected with PHP1B lack developmental defects characteristic of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, and typically show no other endocrine abnormalities besides resistance to PTH. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Most affected individuals have defects in methylation of the gene. In some cases microdeletions involving the STX16 appear to cause loss of methylation at exon A/B of GNAS, resulting in PHP1B. Paternal uniparental isodisomy have also been observed. Genetic variation affecting the GNAS locus is associated with GNAS hyperfunction, a condition characterized by increased trauma-related bleeding tendency, prolonged bleeding time, brachydactyly and intellectual disability. Both the XLas isoforms and the ALEX protein are mutated which strongly reduces the interaction between them and this may allow unimpeded activation of the XLas isoforms.
Miscellaneous. This protein is produced by a bicistronic gene which also produces the ALEX protein from an overlapping reading frame. The GNAS locus is imprinted in a complex manner, giving rise to distinct paternally, maternally and biallelically expressed proteins. The XLas isoforms are paternally derived, the Gnas isoforms are biallelically derived and the Nesp55 isoforms are maternally derived. Shares no sequence similarity with other isoforms due to a novel first exon containing the entire reading frame spliced to shared exon 2 so that exons 2-13 make up the 3’-UTR.
Similarity. Belongs to the NESP55 family.
