CXCL5

Chr 4

C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 5

Also known as: ENA-78, SCYB5

Encodes epithelial neutrophil-activating peptide 78 (ENA-78), a chemokine that recruits and activates neutrophils through binding to CXCR2 receptor and promotes angiogenesis and tissue remodeling. No pediatric neurologic diseases have been associated with mutations in this gene based on the available data. This gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0, LOEUF 1.9), indicating tolerance to protein-truncating mutations.

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.
