DENND4C

Chr 9

DENN domain containing 4C

Also known as: C9orf55, C9orf55B, RAB10GEF, bA513M16.3

NCBI Gene: 55667ENSG00000137145UniProt: Q5VZ89

Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to insulin stimulus; protein localization to plasma membrane; and regulation of Rab protein signal transduction. Located in Golgi apparatus and cytosol.

Population Genetics & Constraint

gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance

gnomAD
Moderate LoF intolerance
LoF Constraint?LOEUF (Loss-of-function Observed/Expected Upper bound Fraction) is the upper bound of the 90% CI for LoF OE — the preferred gnomAD v4 metric. Lower = more intolerant to LoF. LOEUF < 0.35 = highly constrained.
0.45LOEUF
pLI 0.000
Z-score 5.60
OE 0.32 (0.23–0.45)
Moderately constrained

More LoF-intolerant than ~75% of genes

Missense Constraint?Missense Z-score: standard deviations fewer missense variants observed vs. expected. Z > 3.09 (p < 0.001) = gene does not tolerate missense variation. OE missense < 0.6 is also considered constrained.

Observed / Expected Ratios?Shaded band = 90% confidence interval. Vertical tick = point estimate. Grey threshold line = gnomAD constraint cutoff for that variant class.

Synonymous OE?Control metric — synonymous variants are largely neutral and expected near OE = 1.0. Significant deviation may indicate annotation issues.1.14
