LARP1B
Chr 4La ribonucleoprotein 1B
Also known as: LARP2
This gene encodes an RNA-binding protein containing La motifs that fold into RNA recognition motifs. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with speech delay and dysmorphic features, typically presenting in early childhood. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI ~1.0), indicating that complete loss of protein function is likely not tolerated.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.
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.
