SH2D3C

Chr 9

SH2 domain containing 3C

Also known as: CHAT, NSP3, PRO34088, SHEP1

SH2D3C encodes an adaptor protein that mediates cell signaling pathways controlling cell adhesion, migration, and immune responses, and is required for olfactory sensory neuron migration and innervation of the olfactory bulb during development. Mutations cause autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia, seizures, and respiratory insufficiency, typically presenting in early infancy. The gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.0004), consistent with the recessive inheritance pattern.

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.
