KCTD11

Chr 17

potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 11

Also known as: C17orf36, KCASH1, REN, REN/KCTD11

NCBI Gene: 147040ENSG00000213859UniProt: Q693B1OMIM: 609848

KCTD11 encodes a protein that regulates neuronal differentiation and acts as a tumor suppressor by promoting apoptosis, growth arrest, and antagonizing the Hedgehog signaling pathway in cerebellar granule cells. Mutations cause autosomal dominant microcephaly, intellectual disability, and seizures with onset in infancy or early childhood. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants, suggesting that clinical phenotypes may result from complex mutational mechanisms.

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.
