PITPNM3

Chr 17AD

PITPNM family member 3

Also known as: ACKR6, CORD5, NIR1, RDGBA3

This protein catalyzes the transfer of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine between membranes and binds calcium ions. Mutations cause autosomal dominant cone-rod dystrophy 5, affecting retinal function and vision. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI 1.0, LOEUF 0.21), indicating intolerance to protein-disrupting mutations.

Clinical SummaryPITPNM3
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
