CCDC68
Chr 18coiled-coil domain containing 68
Also known as: SE57-1
The CCDC68 protein is required for centriole subdistal appendage assembly and microtubule anchoring at the centrosome during interphase. Mutations cause autosomal recessive primary microcephaly with seizures and developmental delay. This gene shows moderate constraint against loss-of-function variants, and the associated phenotypes typically manifest in early infancy with severe neurodevelopmental impairment.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Tolerant to missense variation
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.
