MCTP2

Chr 15

multiple C2 and transmembrane domain containing 2

The protein enables calcium ion binding and is predicted to regulate neurotransmitter secretion, with possible roles in cardiac outflow tract development. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with seizures and language delay, as well as cardiac conduction defects. This gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function mutations based on population genetic data.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and dominant-negative). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

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.
