LACC1

Chr 13AR

laccase domain containing 1

Also known as: C13orf31, FAMIN, JUVAR

This gene encodes a purine nucleoside enzyme that regulates innate immunity in macrophages by modulating purine nucleotide metabolism, promoting optimal NOD2-induced signaling, cytokine secretion, and bacterial clearance. Mutations cause autosomal recessive juvenile arthritis, along with other inflammatory conditions including early-onset Crohn's disease and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0), consistent with its recessive inheritance pattern.

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.
