LRRC3B
Chr 3leucine rich repeat containing 3B
Also known as: LRP15
LRRC3B encodes a tumor suppressor protein that shows reduced expression in multiple cancer types. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with early infantile onset, characterized by severe intellectual disability, seizures, and brain malformations. The gene shows moderate constraint against loss-of-function variants in the general population.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Moderately missense-constrained (top ~2.5%)
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.
