IDH1

Chr 2

isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 1

Also known as: HEL-216, HEL-S-26, IDCD, IDH, IDP, IDPC, PICD

The enzyme catalyzes the NADP-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate and plays a critical role in generating NADPH, an important cofactor in biosynthesis pathways. Mutations cause autosomal recessive retinal dystrophy with early childhood onset, primarily affecting vision and retinal function. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating that such mutations are likely to be pathogenic.

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.
