GPR35

Chr 2

G protein-coupled receptor 35

The GPR35 protein is a G-protein coupled receptor that binds ligands including kynurenic acid, lysophosphatidic acid, and serotonin metabolites to regulate immune cell function, mitochondrial metabolism, and inflammatory responses. Mutations in GPR35 cause autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency with recurrent infections and inflammatory bowel disease-like symptoms. The gene shows low constraint to loss-of-function variation (pLI 0.005, LOEUF 1.51), consistent with a recessive inheritance pattern where biallelic mutations are required for disease.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and dominant-negative). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

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.
