SIPA1L2

Chr 1

signal induced proliferation associated 1 like 2

Also known as: SPAL2, SPAR2

This gene encodes a GTPase-activating protein that regulates the small GTPase Rap through its GTPase activating domain, PDZ domain, and C-terminal coiled-coil domain with leucine zipper. Mutations cause neurodevelopmental disorders with intellectual disability and autism spectrum features, following an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.99, LOEUF 0.29), indicating intolerance to protein-disrupting mutations.

Clinical SummarySIPA1L2
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 0.99). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
