C1ORF159

Chr 1

chromosome 1 open reading frame 159

The protein encoded by C1ORF159 is predicted to be a membrane-associated protein, though its specific cellular function remains unclear. This gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI = 0.0002, LOEUF = 1.3), suggesting that complete loss of function may be well-tolerated. No definitive human disease associations have been established for mutations in C1ORF159.
