CCDC90B

Chr 11

coiled-coil domain containing 90B

Also known as: MDS011, MDS025

CCDC90B encodes a mitochondrial protein of unknown specific function. Mutations cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia with intellectual disability and seizures, typically presenting in early childhood. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants, consistent with recessive inheritance where heterozygous carriers are unaffected.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.

DNprediction above median

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.
