MRM1
Chr 17mitochondrial rRNA methyltransferase 1
MRM1 encodes a mitochondrial methyltransferase that catalyzes 2'-O-methylation of guanosine at position 1145 in the 16S mitochondrial ribosomal RNA, which is essential for proper mitochondrial protein synthesis. Mutations cause autosomal recessive mitochondrial disorders presenting with developmental delay, intellectual disability, and growth retardation with infantile onset. The gene is not highly constrained against loss-of-function variants.
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.
