LY6D
Chr 8lymphocyte antigen 6 family member D
Also known as: E48, Ly-6D
The LY6D protein acts as a specification marker during the earliest stages of lymphocyte development, particularly marking early B-cell specification and distinguishing between B- and T-cell developmental pathways. Currently, no established human diseases have been linked to LY6D mutations in the medical literature. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.03, LOEUF 1.87), suggesting it may tolerate functional disruption relatively well.
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 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.
