SGO2

Chr 2ADAR

shugoshin 2

Also known as: SGOL2, TRIPIN

SGO2 encodes shugoshin 2, a protein that protects centromeric cohesin complexes during meiosis and is essential for accurate chromosome segregation during gametogenesis and mitosis. Mutations cause premature ovarian failure-5, an autosomal recessive disorder affecting female fertility. This gene is highly intolerant to loss-of-function variants, indicating it is under strong evolutionary constraint.

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

DNprediction above median

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.
