CMC2
Chr 16C-X9-C motif containing 2
Also known as: 2310061C15Rik, C16orf61, DC13
CMC2 encodes a protein that may be involved in cytochrome c oxidase biogenesis, functioning in both the cytosol and mitochondrion. Mutations in CMC2 cause mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, nuclear type 15, which presents as a mitochondrial disorder affecting cellular energy metabolism. This condition follows autosomal recessive inheritance.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Tolerant to missense variation
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.
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.
