CEP135
Chr 4ARcentrosomal protein 135
Also known as: CEP4, KIAA0635, MCPH8
The protein functions as a scaffolding protein essential for early centriole biogenesis and maintaining centriole-centriole cohesion during interphase. Mutations cause autosomal recessive primary microcephaly-8 through a loss-of-function mechanism. The condition follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Mild missense constraint
Predictions shown for reference only — model trained on dominant genes, not applicable to AR conditions.
The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312.
