ANKRD33

Chr 12

ankyrin repeat domain 33

Also known as: C12orf7, PANKY

The protein acts as a transcriptional repressor in CRX-activated photoreceptor gene regulation and is predicted to function in skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Mutations cause autosomal recessive retinal dystrophy and skeletal muscle abnormalities. This gene shows relatively low constraint to loss-of-function variation.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is gain-of-function.

GOFprediction above median

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.
