ACRV1
Chr 11acrosomal vesicle protein 1
Also known as: D11S4365, SP-10, SPACA2
The protein is a testis-specific acrosomal vesicle component that functions in sperm-zona binding or penetration during fertilization. Mutations in this gene cause globozoospermia, a form of male infertility characterized by round-headed sperm lacking acrosomes, and follows autosomal recessive inheritance. This gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants in the general population.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.
Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
