LCMT1
Chr 16leucine carboxyl methyltransferase 1
Also known as: CGI-68, LCMT, PPMT1
LCMT1 encodes a methyltransferase that methylates the C-terminal leucine residue of protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunits, which is critical for proper phosphatase regulation. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with variable neurological features including seizures and developmental delay. This gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants.
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.
