CBR4
Chr 4carbonyl reductase 4
Also known as: SDR45C1
CBR4 encodes the beta-subunit of the 3-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] reductase complex, which catalyzes NADPH-dependent reduction of 3-oxoacyl-[ACP] to (3R)-hydroxyacyl-[ACP] as part of mitochondrial fatty acid biosynthesis. The gene is not highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, and no established human diseases have been reported from CBR4 mutations to date.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
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.
