DEPTOR
Chr 8ARADDEP domain containing MTOR interacting protein
Also known as: DEP.6, DEPDC6, hDEPTOR
DEPTOR encodes a negative regulator of mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes that inhibits MTOR kinase activity and induces autophagy. Mutations cause spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (Krakow type) and metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (Murk Jansen type), skeletal dysplasias affecting bone and cartilage development. The gene shows both autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant inheritance patterns and is not highly constrained against loss-of-function variants.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is gain-of-function.
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.
