RASEF
Chr 9RAS and EF-hand domain containing
Also known as: RAB45, TSG
The protein functions as a Rab GTPase that acts as a dynein adapter protein, activating dynein-mediated transport and dynein-dynactin motility on microtubules, and also regulates zymogen granule formation and digestive enzyme secretion in pancreatic acinar cells. Mutations cause disease through a dominant-negative mechanism. The specific neurological phenotypes and inheritance pattern associated with RASEF mutations are not established in the provided data.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Mild missense constraint
This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (dominant-negative and gain-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to dominant-negative 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.
