PIGL
Chr 17ARphosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class L
Also known as: CHIME
The protein catalyzes the second step of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis by performing de-N-acetylation of N-acetylglucosaminylphosphatidylinositol in the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations cause CHIME syndrome through an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The pathogenic mechanism appears to be dominant negative.
Definitive — sufficient evidence for diagnostic panels
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
Predictions shown for reference only — model trained on dominant genes, not applicable to AR conditions.
The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
