CSTL1
Chr 20cystatin like 1
Also known as: CTES1, RCET11, dJ322G13.4
The CSTL1 gene encodes a type 2 cystatin-like protein, though its specific function as a cysteine protease inhibitor has not been determined. Currently, no human diseases have been definitively associated with CSTL1 mutations in the medical literature.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Tolerant to missense variation
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.
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.
