LRP12

Chr 8AD

LDL receptor related protein 12

Also known as: ALS28, MIG13A, ST7

This gene encodes a transmembrane receptor protein involved in internalization of lipophilic molecules and signal transduction. Mutations cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 28 and oculopharyngodistal myopathy 1 with autosomal dominant inheritance. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.998, LOEUF 0.256), indicating intolerance to protein loss.

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
