RAPGEF1

Chr 9

Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1

Also known as: C3G, GRF2

This gene encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that transduces signals from CRK to activate RAS family GTPases and is essential for nerve growth factor-induced neurite outgrowth, cell adhesion, and endothelial barrier function. The extremely high pLI score (1.0) and low LOEUF score (0.222) indicate the gene is highly intolerant to loss-of-function mutations, suggesting pathogenic variants would likely cause autosomal dominant disease. However, specific neurogenetic disorders caused by RAPGEF1 mutations have not yet been clinically characterized.

Clinical SummaryRAPGEF1
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.
