SGO2
Chr 2ADARshugoshin 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.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Mild missense constraint
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.
