CDO1

Chr 5

cysteine dioxygenase type 1

Also known as: CDO-I

Enables cysteine dioxygenase activity; ferrous iron binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-cysteine catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (dominant-negative and gain-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to dominant-negative as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

DNprediction above median
GOFprediction 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.
