C1QTNF7

Chr 4

C1q and TNF related 7

Also known as: CTRP7, ZACRP7

The C1QTNF7 protein is predicted to form collagen trimers in the extracellular space through identical protein binding activity. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability, and the gene is highly tolerant to loss-of-function variants based on constraint metrics.

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.
