GLOD5
Chr Xglyoxalase domain containing 5
The protein contains a glyoxalase domain and is involved in cellular detoxification processes. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, typically presenting in infancy with seizures, developmental delay, and neurological regression. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants based on population genetic data.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Tolerant to missense variation
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.
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.
