DEPDC1

Chr 1

DEP domain containing 1

Also known as: DEP.8, DEPDC1-V2, DEPDC1A, SDP35

DEPDC1 encodes a transcriptional corepressor that negatively regulates gene transcription and has GTPase activator activity. Mutations cause autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorders with intellectual disability, seizures, and brain malformations. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function 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.
