LHFPL1
Chr XLHFPL tetraspan subfamily member 1
LHFPL1 encodes a tetraspan transmembrane protein that is a member of the lipoma HMGIC fusion partner gene family. Mutations cause autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNB67), typically presenting with congenital or early-onset deafness. The gene shows moderate tolerance to loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.14, LOEUF 1.11), consistent with recessive inheritance patterns.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is gain-of-function.
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.
