Chr 3ADAR

protein O-glucosyltransferase 1

Also known as: C3orf9, CLP46, KDELCL1, KTELC1, LGMD2Z, LGMDR21, MDS010, MDSRP

The protein is a dual specificity glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of glucose and xylose to serine residues in extracellular EGF repeats of proteins including NOTCH2, acting as a positive regulator of Notch signaling during muscle development and early gastrulation. Mutations cause Dowling-Degos disease 4 (autosomal dominant) and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 21 (autosomal recessive), affecting skin and muscle systems respectively. The gene shows extremely high constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 1.0), indicating intolerance to protein-disrupting mutations.

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.
