Chr 11AD

diacylglycerol lipase alpha

Also known as: C11orf11, DAGL(ALPHA), DAGLALPHA, NOC2, NSDDR

The protein is a diacylglycerol lipase that synthesizes 2-arachidonoylglycerol, the principal endocannabinoid involved in synaptic signaling and neuronal development in the central nervous system. Mutations cause neuroocular syndrome 2, paroxysmal type, inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function mutations (pLI = 1.0, LOEUF = 0.17), indicating that complete loss of protein function is likely incompatible with normal development.

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.
