ARHGAP12
Chr 10Rho GTPase activating protein 12
This gene encodes a GTPase-activating protein that converts Rho-type GTPases to their inactive GDP-bound state, regulating cellular processes including invasion and adhesion. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with variable features that may include developmental delay and neurological abnormalities. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variation in the general population.
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 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.
