MID2
Chr XXLRmidline 2
Also known as: FXY2, MRX101, RNF60, TRIM1, XLID101
MID2 encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase that mediates microtubule stabilization and regulates LRRK2 protein degradation in neurons through polyubiquitination. Mutations cause X-linked intellectual developmental disorder with males being affected and females typically being carriers. The gene shows moderate constraint against loss-of-function variants (LOEUF 0.496), suggesting some tolerance to protein-disrupting changes.

gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
More LoF-intolerant than ~75% of genes
Mild missense constraint
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.
