CNOT1

Chr 16AD

CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 1

Also known as: AD-005, CDC39, HPE12, NOT1, NOT1H, VIBOS

CNOT1 encodes a scaffolding component of the CCR4-NOT complex, a major cellular mRNA deadenylase that regulates mRNA degradation, translational repression, and transcription. Mutations cause autosomal dominant holoprosencephaly 12 (with or without pancreatic agenesis) and Vissers-Bodmer syndrome, affecting brain development and other organ systems. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI = 1.0), indicating intolerance to protein-disrupting mutations.

Limited evidence — not for standalone diagnostic reporting

2 total gene-disease associations curated

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.

Literature Evidence

LOFAn integrated omics approach of patient-derived genomics and transcriptomics data suggested only minimal effects on endonucleolytic nonsense-mediated mRNA decay components, suggesting that de novo CNOT1 variants are likely haploinsufficient hypomorph or neomorph, rather than dominant negative.PMID:32553196
