BPY2C
Chr Ybasic charge Y-linked 2C
Also known as: VCY2C
The encoded protein interacts with ubiquitin protein ligase E3A and is involved in male germ cell development. Mutations cause male infertility. This gene is located on the Y chromosome and follows patrilineal inheritance from father to son.
Population Genetics & Constraint
Constraint data not available from gnomAD.
This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (dominant-negative and gain-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to dominant-negative 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.
