RRP1

Chr 21

ribosomal RNA processing 1

Also known as: D21S2056E, NNP-1, NOP52, RRP1A

The protein is involved in ribosomal RNA processing and plays a critical role in the generation of 28S rRNA during the late stages of nucleologenesis. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive intellectual disability with microcephaly and growth retardation. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0), consistent with the recessive inheritance pattern observed clinically.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.

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.
