PARD3B

Chr 2

par-3 family cell polarity regulator beta

Also known as: ALS2CR19, PAR3B, PAR3L, PAR3beta

The protein functions as an adapter involved in asymmetrical cell division and cell polarization processes, including establishment of epithelial tight junctions. Mutations cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delays. The gene is not highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, which is consistent with the recessive inheritance pattern observed in affected individuals.

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.
