LDLRAD1

Chr 1

low density lipoprotein receptor class A domain containing 1

The LDLRAD1 protein is predicted to be involved in vesicle-mediated transport and is located in cellular membranes. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorders, though the gene shows relatively low constraint to loss-of-function variation based on population genetic data.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is gain-of-function.

GOFprediction 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.
