MRPS31
Chr 13mitochondrial ribosomal protein S31
Also known as: IMOGN38, MRP-S31, S31mt, mS31
This protein is a component of the small 28S subunit of mitochondrial ribosomes and functions in mitochondrial protein synthesis. Mutations cause autosomal recessive mitochondrial disorders affecting multiple organ systems. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 1.0), suggesting that complete loss of protein function is likely pathogenic.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
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.
