PLPBP
Chr 8ARpyridoxal phosphate binding protein
Also known as: EPEO1, EPVB6D, PROSC
The protein binds pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and regulates intracellular homeostasis of this active form of vitamin B6. Mutations cause early-onset, vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy that follows autosomal recessive inheritance. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants (low pLI score), which is consistent with the recessive inheritance pattern observed clinically.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
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.
