MTSS1
Chr 8MTSS I-BAR domain containing 1
Also known as: MIM, MIMA, MIMB
The MTSS1 protein binds actin monomers and regulates actin filament polymerization and bundling, playing important roles in cytoskeletal organization and cellular adhesion. Mutations cause autosomal dominant intellectual disability with developmental delay, and the gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI = 1.0, LOEUF = 0.21). Additional features may include renal abnormalities and bone mineralization defects based on the protein's predicted roles in kidney development and magnesium homeostasis.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly LoF-intolerant (top ~10% of genes)
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
