ARGLU1
Chr 13arginine and glutamate rich 1
This protein functions as a dual regulator of gene expression, serving as a transcriptional coactivator for nuclear receptors and directly modulating alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs through binding to spliceosome components. Mutations cause neurodevelopmental disorders affecting the central nervous system, heart development, and neuronal function. The gene shows autosomal dominant inheritance and is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating that even single functional copies are critical for normal development.

Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
More LoF-intolerant than ~75% of genes
Moderately missense-constrained (top ~2.5%)
This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function, dominant-negative and loss-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.
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.
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
