The protein functions as a component of the inner core of AMPA receptor complexes and modifies AMPA receptor gating, playing a role in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with developmental delay, intellectual disability, and seizures. The gene shows moderate constraint against loss-of-function variants, supporting its important role in normal neurodevelopment.

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.
