ADARB2
Chr 10adenosine deaminase RNA specific B2 (inactive)
Also known as: ADAR3, RED2
The protein is an RNA-binding enzyme that regulates RNA editing by competing with other adenosine deaminases and also stabilizes specific mRNAs to control protein expression. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with onset in infancy, characterized by severe intellectual disability, refractory seizures, and progressive brain atrophy. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating that complete loss of protein function is likely incompatible with normal development.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
More LoF-intolerant than ~75% of genes
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
