ERMP1

Chr 9

endoplasmic reticulum metallopeptidase 1

Also known as: FXNA, KIAA1815, bA207C16.3

ERMP1 encodes a metalloexopeptidase involved in the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response and cellular responses to oxidative stress. Mutations cause early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with developmental delay, intellectual disability, and seizures, inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.

DNprediction above median

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.
