DLG1
Chr 3discs large MAGUK scaffold protein 1
Also known as: DLGH1, SAP-97, SAP97, hdlg
This gene encodes an essential multidomain scaffolding protein that recruits channels, receptors and signaling molecules to discrete plasma membrane domains and maintains cell-cell adhesion in polarized cells. Mutations cause intellectual disability with seizures, and the gene shows autosomal dominant inheritance. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function mutations, reflecting its critical role in normal development and neuronal function.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly LoF-intolerant (top ~10% of genes)
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
