DIDO1

Chr 20

death inducer-obliterator 1

Also known as: BYE1, C20orf158, DATF-1, DATF1, DIDO2, DIDO3, DIO-1, DIO1

The DIDO1 protein functions as a transcription factor and tumor suppressor that is required for early embryonic stem cell development. Mutations cause intellectual developmental disorder with dysmorphic facies, seizures, and distal limb anomalies, which follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating that haploinsufficiency is likely not tolerated in the general population.

Clinical SummaryDIDO1
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.
