GTPBP6

Chr Y

GTP binding protein 6

Also known as: PGPL

This gene encodes a GTP binding protein located in the pseudoautosomal region of the X and Y chromosomes and is extremely intolerant to loss-of-function variants (pLI ~1). Mutations cause neurodevelopmental disorder with epilepsy, cataracts, feeding difficulties, and delayed puberty, with an X-linked inheritance pattern affecting primarily males but with potential for affected females due to the pseudoautosomal location.

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.
