PRELID3A
Chr 18PRELI domain containing 3A
Also known as: C18orf43, HFL-EDDG1, SLMO1
The PRELID3A protein transfers phosphatidic acid across the mitochondrial intermembrane space as part of a complex with TRIAP1, which is required for cardiolipin synthesis in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mutations cause autosomal recessive mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, nuclear type 22, presenting with developmental delay, hypotonia, and metabolic acidosis. This gene shows low constraint to loss-of-function variation, consistent with recessive inheritance requiring biallelic mutations to cause disease.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and dominant-negative). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.
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.
